    Islamist: The nice way of saying "terrorist"
    Muslim: Someone who actually thinks that Islam is a religion of peace and attempts to make it such....a shame there are not more of these in the world.

    Exactly my point, You say the exact same thing the mainstream media says (as you admit above), then claim i'm brainwashed by the mainstream media, when i'm saying something the mainstream media won't tell you:rolleyes:

    Yes & they are "brainwashed" as you put it.

    Look at AGS he claims the main stream media brainwashers people too, yet his views match the medias on Iraq for example, but if you told him that he would say the media is reporting everything is going well in Iraq, whilst claiming he not "brainwashed":confused:
