Assuming that Irish people are prone to carrying out terrorist attacks just because the IRA has done so in the past is also racial profiling. (I'm not sure if you'd call it that for someone's nationality)

Um, where did I say "Irish people"? I specifically said the IRA.

But you didn't state, nor did the anecdote that was referred to at the start, that the Muslim in question was a member of an organisation like al-Qaeda.

So you, for whatever reason (if ignorance is unacceptable so is paranoia) assumed that that Muslim sitting over there must on some level consider a terrorist attack a response to a racial insult.

it's just that the racism thing seems to have moved perhaps too far away from anime territory for my taste.

Well, I am pretty sure that I could tie racism to viewing Kodomo no Jikan and downloading fansubs to terrorism with a minimum of effort. Would that help?

Okay, not only am I being taken out of context in replying to someone else's post but you feel the need to insult me as well.
I have been wholly civil this entire conversation yet somehow you feel the need to insult my intelligence.

I'm quitting this conversation. I give up, I surrender. Take me out back and shoot me since you somehow have gotten this mistaken perception (or somehow also jumped to the conclusion) that I am a Muslim hating extremist, despite my assertions to the contrary. Since it is firmly entrenched in your mind that I am so, nothing I say will change your mind.
