So did Churchill and I.

Nice to hear.

But you are right that I did not go to any of those countries mentioned. But there are many more Islamic/Muslim countries than those you mentioned. Looking at every Islamic country through the lense of Saudi, Iraq and Kuwait might be a generalization too far.

 

[ThomasSoerensen]

and cosseted, I'll wager!

Not really - just on a decent daily rate, at the time.

 

[Churchill]

So because you got shafted all Islamic places are nasty? Nice logic there. Is it nice to feel like a victim? Haha.

I like how you assumed that we're generalising there.

I have also lived in an Islamic country and I had a very nice experience. In fact I plan to live in one in a few years again.

So because you've lived in an Islamic country and had a nice experience then all Islamic countries must be nice?

See? Works both ways!

Ok, now regale us with tales of how you visited the poor of that country and redistributed some of your wealth.

I think this shows it:

contradiction in terms, Shirley?

No. Also I have not said that all Islamic places are nice.

Why? Should I feel some sort of obligation to justify any of my actions or inactions to you?
If so, I am sorry because I do not feel that that obligation.

Huh?

Now you're just getting all het up and defensive.

 

[ThomasSoerensen]

Huh?

"do" should be replaced with "do not" . But I think you got that.
