Besides, pretty sure this guy isn't Muslim. I think he's Sikh, not that it matters one way or another. It's pretty low of you to take an individual's behaviour (especially one who has clearly grown up in a Western culture) and try to club it down to fit in what you think of as an entire culture of people. Your true colours really shows in that comment, and it ain't pretty.
i should probably have made it clearer that i was following on from geoff's more general post (and not the OP), and that there were some thought processes going on in between that post and mine that didn't actually make it into word form

also, what's all this "generalisation" crap? if you read about a guy shooting up a movie theatre in Colorado, you probably don't think (unless you're an idiot) that he's a "typical American", but if you've even vaguely been paying attention you might think that guys like Holmes (or Dylan Klebold, Timothy McVeigh etc etc) represent the dark underbelly of American (or more generally, Western) society - which is an entirely different point. the opposite of generalising is equally stupid: imagining individuals to be isolated atoms in a void, whose actions can tell us nothing about the society they live in

btw i couldn't help noticing you were a bit picky over which "generalisation" to go all Randy over. you're ok with the bit about "men creating a demand for whores" (a comment which could easily be taken as a generalisation), but the minute i got on to a point about muslim men in particular your PC antennae started twitching. you pretty much gave yourself away with this:
It's pretty low of you to take an individual's behaviour (especially one who has clearly grown up in a Western culture) and try to club it down to fit in what you think of as an entire culture of people.
implying that it's ok to condemn someone's stupid actions as a consequence of them having grown up in a Western society, but to do so while referencing any other society is a heinous slur. how about allowing both?

Because you've only lived in a "Western society", any referencing you make is basically a regurgitation of what you see in media or the streets of south London.

As have you.
You wouldn't even be posting here if you were actually living in some shithole middle east country.

lol, the real question is why being a white woman makes a difference when it comes to playing a video game and why he's so excited about having a white woman on his team for no other reason than her race and gender. I posted that video because that interview was done before he did all that weird shit posted earlier in this thread, it's eery foreshadowing. I don't identify as a feminist by any means, I just don't like creepy fucks. He's basically the incarnate of every 13 year old kid on Live screaming racial slurs. I'd like to think some people, even if they're idiots anonymously, know how to "turn it off;" but the people that don't are worthless.
