I am about to become very unpopular. Actually I’ve probably already started with the title and description of this article, but now I’ve started I might as well go on, so here goes. America as a nation is without doubt the most bigoted, brainwashed, hypocritical and racist society on the face of the earth.

So what prompted this sweeping statement about a nation of over 300 million people? Well it’s partly down to the response we got to the news that we’ve hired an editor based in Saudi Arabia. News which resulted in some of the most childish, stupidest and pathetic racist comments I’ve ever seen, directed variously at the religion of Islam, Arabic people in general and our new editor in particular. Which was odd because anyone who actually read the article would have spotted that he wasn’t actually Arabic at all. Just goes to further prove my point that Americans are idiots who can’t even be bothered to read stuff that’s right in front in them.

OK, so not all the malicious comments were from people in the USA (although a large percentage of them were) and I realise that not all Americans are the mindless bigots who posted. But I’m going to generalise. The reason for this is because Islam is frequently generalised as a violent religion only followed by terrorists, based on the actions of a few extremists. So therefore following the same logic, I can generalise all Americans as small-minded idiots based on the offensive attitudes of a comparatively small minority.

According to Americans, the entire Muslim population of over 1.3 billion people are followers of a terrorist nation and are all likely, at the flick of a switch, to turn into maniacal suicide bombers and are the single biggest threat to the peaceful world of Christianity. This is what is technically known as bullshit. Islam as an everyday religion is no more violent than Christianity. Yes, its holy book does contain sections which state its OK to kill non-believers, but if I pulled apart the Bible I could find extract after extract which tells of how other religions are evil, women are inferior and anyone who has any possessions they can call their own is going straight to hell. Most Christians choose not to follow the more controversial sections of the Bible because they live in the real world, and likewise most Muslims choose not to enact their theoretical right to behead anyone wearing a crucifix for the same reasons.

But that’s really beside the point. I’m not here to defend Islam. I’m here to attack America. What gives this nation of overweight, under-intelligent morons the right to tell other people their ways of life are wrong, and that America is a shining example of the way the world ought to be? Why should the rest of the world look to you as anything other than a scaled-up school bully who picks on the kid with glasses? How are you any different from the “terrorist nations” such as Iran? You’re both run by elected religious fundamentalists. You’re both threatening to attack another country because you don’t like their customs or religion. And you both have a shocking intolerance of anyone who tries to explain to you where you’re going wrong.

Before I go, one of the accusations levelled at “moderate Muslims” as we have to call the normal people in the Middle East is that they refuse to come out and condemn the extremists who give the rest of them a bad name. Well, the same can be said of Americans. So if you are a moderate American with an iota of logic and common sense who’s been outraged by this article, you should be doing the same. You should be coming out and telling the extremists just how stupid they are. Because if you don’t, you’re no better than they are.

this editorial is complete bullshit because shoutwire isn't an internet soapbox for obnoxious people to spout off their stupid opinions. it's a news aggregator site, and nothing more. even though some people would like to think it's more.

I think this article is equally as bad. Anyone that attacks a whole nation of people for the actions or speech of just a few is ignorant and I feel sorry for them.

All religions are just as bad as one another... Can't we just drop the religious bull and get along has human beings?

Um, I'm fine with reading editorials, but no offense...this one sucks...and not because it's speaking badly about America. It complains about Americans generalizing, only to admit it too is generalizing. It calls Americans hypocritical, meanwhile, it's being hypocritical. Everything and anything in this article can be applied to every nation. It's stupid and as ignorant as the ignorance it speaks of. If you hate ignorance and hypocrits so badly don't act the same way (and no, you are not proving any point by doing so). Ever heard of the saying "Lead by example". Well, you my friend, are not.

i live in USA and all i can say is i know what the person writin this must have felt, too many ignorant people in USA and they all the byproduct of a "Corporationalism" government that is more interested in making $$$ over the wellfare of its own people. people should just sit and think for a moment before bashing someone cause these other people do not think the same way you do.

Every heard of irony? I'm perfectly aware of how "ignorant" and "hypocritical" I was being. This was a deliberate strategy I used to make the point that this sort of attitude is everywhere. If it's made you think about that then its done its job.

Howdy everybody, Joe Sixpack here. I never met you all before, but I was having some pops last night with my bud Fido and he said if I wrote this down, he’d fix up the spellun’ and put it on the internet. He’s mostly full of shit, but I did it anyway.This is about Thursday night. The wife had the kids at football practice and going by her sister’s and I was home tipping back some cold ones and looking for something to watch on TV. I seen the debate thing was on b...

As we know, everyone in Washington DC are assholes of varying degree. Last week we called Sarah Palin out for being a dumb cunt and an asshole. And that's coming from me. If you're actually voting for Palin, people named cadpig, you're a dumb asshole enabler. Palin is worthless and would have the US on a road to destruction that would involve hurting our allies too.What's even more disturbing than people who watched Palin on Katie Couric wanting to vote for her ...
