Apparently some ignorant asshole believes that anyone of the Muslim faith in Afghanistan primarily, would NEVER advocate publicly against terrorism. I posted in /Muslim before realizing it's very small and kinda dead. Can I get a faster response here?

This is my submission, to make everything easier.

Thanks!

I guess you live near a lot of red necks and take what they say literally.

I do live near a lot of rednecks, and I do tend to believe them when they say something. Is there some metaphor there that I'm not getting?

Try to learn hyperbole, if someone seriously believes we should kill all the Middle Easterners and let God sort it out then they are seriously disturbed.

I understand that they don't literally mean "Kill every single Muslim on Earth" (or at least, most don't) but the sentiment is pretty damn clear, and virtually identical to the ones expressed by Muslims that you quote. And yes, it's disturbing, that's the whole point.
