Blindly religious, easily manipulated

A "European" who joined Skypeland said that he thought the Americans were professional and hard working, but blindly religious and easily manipulated. The "European" said he was proud to be a muslim. He said that the American government was a criminal organization exploiting the Arab countries for their oil. He said this is what the US is doing in Afghanistan. I asked him about Afghani oil production, and he alluded to a planned pipeline across Afghanistan as the motivation of the US and coalition forces invasion of Afghanistan.

I told him that the contracts for the oil pipeline in Afghanistan were signed by the Taliban, which he was somewaht surprised to hear. He shut up on the subject after he heard that.

The "European" claimed that the government in Iraq was a puppet government. An Iraqi came up to ask this person where he was from. The "European" refused to say where he was from. The Iraqi said it was because the "European" was ashamed to say where he was from. The "European" became more and more belligerent. Finally he had so much background noise and so many echoes that the host moved him down. He came back and said he would tell us where he was from. But he never did and just started to insult everyone. Then he finally he said he was in France but refused to give his country of origin. He just insulted and cursed others and called them chickens.

We asked him since he was so proud to be French, what he thought of French President Sarkozy's threat to bomb Iran. He was caught offguard at this, and had no reply. Characteristically, when he had no response, he just cursed others. A sure sign of his close-mindedness, lack of intellectual capability and vacuousness of his arguments.

Addendum: A good friend who is from Morocco tells me it is more than likely that this person is Moroccan, since similar arguments are common in Morocco. Moroccans also pride themselves as being "European" and will often lie and say they are French.
