It is propaganda designed to make normal Muslims look bad.

Yes, it is, FD. Well done. Now, why can't you apply that to most of the crap you post? Roll Eyes

On the "unfair" media treatment of ISIS:

"ISIS has nothing to do with Islam. It is a preconceived plan of Zionists who want to deliberately make Islam look bad."

Do they have some kind of PR school or something?

an attempt to draw sympathy for head hacking Muslim extremists.

Or, exposing blatant lies designed to smear ordinary muslims.

Not sure how the first applies to the second there FD. Perhaps you explain it to us who don't have your laser like mentality? Otherwise it just looks like another pathetic attempt to try and smear Brian. Grin

I did not claim that it does. If you think I have unfairly smeared Brian by associating him with Gandalf, then I sincerely apologise for your confusion.

Why? Obviously there was some similarity you perceived in them FD. What was it? Grin

Yes. You have a problem with self-deprecating humour? It's very Australian. DL, you're not anti-Australian as well as Islamophobic? Grin

LOL, naaahhhh, you were serious as bum cancer and vigorously defended your claim when people back then were laughing at you for making it. You have just belatedly come to realise that no one could possibly ever believe that you are a genius and now you are doing some back-pedalling from your idiotic assertion.

I might have a look at the way back machine and see what I can find. Cool

And you're looking more and more foolish every day. I was referring to the comment, "Bear of Little Brain", as "self-deprecating humour". I am not overly concerned as to what you think about my IQ score. You've been suffering from the "Tall Poppy Syndrome" as long as I've known you DL. Grin

My mistake, I apologise, and note you are happy to own your statement that you possess a genius IQ of 178.

More fun than a barrel of monkeys this forum act times. Grin
