get real. The Illiteracy rate in the muslim world is through the roof. Most muslim adults in the arab world have the educational level of an American 8 year old. The reason they use flags and effigies to burn is not because they appreciate symbolism, it's because most of them don't have enuf education to actually create signs and banners. They can't even write their own language. They are illiterate and uneducated.

We are dealing with people who literally have the education of 8 y/o's, but we keep being told that we should talk to them? that we should try to solve our differences? how do you solve major world issues when your dealing with adults with the intelligence of 8 year olds?

it's so frustrating. they say we need to start talking to them as equals, but they are NOT our equals. There is nothing equal about us.
