When people call me an “idiot” I get defensive, REAL fast. I’m many things, and not all good to all people (though I generally try to be), but one thing I definitely am NOT is an idiot.
said the idiot.
You should consider just owning the “idiot” label, honestly. That’s, like, a disability. The alternative explanations for your OP, intellectual laziness and being an asshole, are pretty much on you.
Really? Granted, I’m not American. But I’m pretty sure almost everyone I’ve ever heard has used nine-eleven, including American TV. Is any other formulation really popular?
In that case, your online security sucks, because some idiot’s been posting under your username.
All religious customs are…what’s the word we’re using now to replace retarded? Queer?
Mah. I’m an atheist, but I can see some utility in Lenten fasting, for instance.
And the word we’re using to replace retarded is Carolinian (i.e., reminiscent or suggestive of the Prince of Wales).
If, as a Tarheel, I object to that, does that just cement the usage?
No-- “Wrong”. 
Wow! That’s something! Religious beliefs are strange sometimes. Some people close to me, according to their weird religion, skip eating meat on Friday, every spring, for like 40 days or something. But check this out… only land animal meat! Ha! (It must be especially dirty or something…) Sea creature meat is ok. Weird, huh?
They’ve got much weirder and more hard core beliefs about other things, but I don’t want to come across like I’m bashing them!
Say, nice lob.
Perhaps it refers to Thom Tillis?
Grumble grumble, I leave for one little election, and what do you people do? This is why we can’t have nice things.
It’s just a homophone, dude, calm down. People will think you’re from Cardiff.
These wouldn’t be those same folks who smear ashes on their foreheads one day in February every year, would it? I mean, those folks are some strange!!
As reasons to look askance at people go, it’s not one whit better than, say, looking askance at Jews in general for their squeamishness about eating delicious cheeseburgers, all because of something their holy book said thousands of years ago.
And as for you people who are grossed out by eating raw meat or bugs all because of a silly cultural prejudice that doesn’t even have religious authority backing it up… sheeeesh. Talk about idiotic.
That’s because Muhammad was a cat person. 
The Ash People! I didn’t mention that, like how detectives leave out a detail that only the bad guy knows. So you obviously know some of them, too.
Well, from whom did you want to receive criticism, then? Surely, you did not submit that spittle flecked OP without desiring some sort of criticism?
So if you wash up for prayers and touch a dog, you are now unclean and must wash again. But I think that’s all it means, strictly speaking – are Muslims obliged to mistreat dogs? Aren’t camels also unclean in that sense? No right-thinking Arab would mistreat a camel!
I am a Christian, but I absolutely hate dogs and the dog-obsessed culture we live in.
They’re filthy, stupid, ugly animals. Those who love them are sentimental idiots with a desperate need to be loved who can’t make real human connections. Dog lovers are vulgar simpletons that warrant open contempt.
Did anyone read Richard Parker’s link? The first sentence:
