    I have no idea if you are or aren't, but none of those things guarantee that you're not. Also, xenophobia is no more linked to Arabism than it is to anyone else.

    Weird line of reasoning. What "guarantees" that you are not an ISIS supporter?

    What guarantees that you're not a neo-nazi supporter?

    PLEASE no one else respond in this thread. Stop feeding this troll.

    I was simply responding to Mathloom with the same "logic" he was applying to Nook.

    Not xenophobic. I am many other things... Can be vindictive and arrogant and violent. As far as having an Arab wife, I only point it out because that same poster years ago claimed I disliked Arabs... Not true, my wife is Arab and my son is half and I love visiting the Middle East... Along with parts of Africa and Western Europe my favorite region of the world.

    we're denying that having a beard should be incriminating evidence that you support ISIS

    Maybe you should have read the article from the OP (from an Arab, and, I believe, a moderate/non-religious Muslim-born journalist).

    If someone dresses like a salafist, wears a beard like a salafist, I contend that it is likely that that person also supports ideas salafists support. I am not talking about anyone wearing a beard, as you wrongly interpret it. I am not talking about someone being ignorant and thinking a Sikh is a salafist. No, I am talking about someone actually wearing a beard and dressing like a salafist.

    maybe YOU should read what YOU wrote.

    nowhere do you mention clothing, you just talk about seeing someone with a beard.

    Not with "a" beard (any beard). If you had read the OP, and apparently you are one of those people who need to read things three times before they understand them, you would have understood that
    I am pretty sure I can tell the difference between a Salafist beard and a Santa Claus.

    Maybe you can't.

    Real men have beards. Unless you are Asian and can't grow a beard that is ok too. Asians are chill bros.

    i'm sure you can, as you have an unhealthy obsession with muslims.

    You know nothing about me. Who are you, anyway? Can't remember ever having read any of your posts.
