How? where did I ever mention race? I only said Muslim and Christian; they come in all races and ethniticities. All I said is look at the religions within a specific region (reflective of a semi-mono ethic grouping). So I am infering that statistics are your enemy? sorry.
In fact I am a white Western Muslim LOL.

Oh Mr. Gandalff, a wizard you are not.

Well maybe the problem is caused by language, as a matter of fact in Itlay the word "racist" in an extended sense is applied also when you refer to people grouped by a particular characteristic. If I say for an example that all
homosexuals are idiots here it is considered a racist comment. But to make you happy I whitdraw the word racist. I say that generalizing saying that muslim are cleaner than christians is a only a stupid comment....... in my opinion.
By the way I absolutely don't care what your ethnicity and religion is and I am not involved in religious interests. I only do not appreciate too much the generalizations......

So you are a foe of facts and statistics, okay, that is fine.

I was only talking about cleansing of onesself. I don't know if you know but Muslims have certain cleanings that they must do (I will not get into graphic detail); the subject is abalution, something the Christians gave up when they became Europeanized.

Instead of jumping into conversations of what people are talking about and making inferances maybe you should ask some questions first. The people that were conversating within this thread know about 'wuddu' and 'ghusl' (or at least some of them have a small backround with what they are).

If you are not intrested in religion then why are you in the religion board? I suggest you go to a board that interests you and that you know what they are talking about.

Facts are to be prven, not only asserted, and in statistics you can read whatever you want. Up to now you only have made assertions, where are the facts and statistics?

I lived many years in a muslim country, I know many muslims and I have some good friends among them. For what my experience is I can say that the cleanliness of muslims is strictly tied with the social contest in which they live (and I can say exactely the same of the christians). I know the muslims behavior (and I can say that there are things really disgusting, but I'm not saying that muslims are a bunch of disgusting people, but some of them that practice some rituals are really disgusting). So if you intended to say that I don't know anything about muslims You are wrong.

I am in the religion board because I am free to be here, and thus I am not a really religious person I like to read about anything, religions included. I posted a comment whitout any offensive intention, I only stated that categorizing is not a clever way to approach a discussion.
And I still think the same. I am sorry if this disturbs you
