I like you - you define terms. You never named the race I'm being racist towards, but you can later if you want.
Let's see here, I've been critical about Muslim people who force women to wear certain types of clothes, who won't respect others' freedom to dress as they like or express themselves as they wish, and who opress women.
What is the name of that culture, language, etnic group etc. so I know which race you're saying I'm racist against.

Let's see, I've spent time in Oman, UAE, Kuwait, Iraq, and Afghanistan, just to name a few. I've spent accumulated years of my life among Muslims, and I've met the victims of those I criticize above. Have you ever met and talked with someone who lived under the Taliban? I have. For example, I spent a day with a father and his son and we talked about how happy they were just that they could work again because they were no long under the Taliban. Tell me about your experience with Muslims and the oppression so many of them face...Dude.

That's because people opposed and spoke out against the unfairness and oppression. Its because people saw something wrong and worked against it. What have you done to end oppression besides call names at people who speak out openly against the opressors?

I don't know, you tell me. Give me an example of religion being pushed in Iraq or Afghanistan, and what does it have to do with coalition forces?
Tell me about this attack we're planning on Iran. Will it be missiles? Bombers? Ground forces? Aerial or from the sea? When is it supposed to take place?
