Interesting! Maybe that's the problem, the rest of us are in the 21st.![]()
Reported. Sorry but there was no need for that comment!

Reported? For what? You refer to the 20th century as existing in the present sense. It ended 10 years ago. You need to sharpen your knowledge of the period we exist in before flying off the handle.
Was i talking to you?

Well, yes.
I have seen this too-any negative event in a Muslim country is implied as a result of Islam, and any negative event by a Muslim is reported with the perp's religion in bold italics, figuratively speaking.
While this is definitely a sign of Islamophobia, and worthy of condemnation, it may be worthwhile for Muslims to do some soul-searching.
I have, in the course of my life met, employed, worked with and befriended many Muslims and have invariably had a very good experience. The question arises-Why the demonizing?
My take is that the vast majority of sensible and reasonable Muslims let the small minority of Nutjobs (that all religions have) get away with maligning Islam. Talking about it on internet fora is not enough, this small group should (figuratively) be hunted down and dealt with. The voice of reasonable Muslims MUST be heard louder and their actions must bear fruit for this vilification to stop.

I'm sorry. Did I intrude on a private phone call? What do you mean were you talking to me? This is a forum, an open one at that. If you want to believe that you live in the 20th century , that your business. When you put such thoughts out in the open, consider it fair game for those of us who live in the 21st to differ with you.
Are you so offended by mention of the word 'muslim'? I know lot of negative news about islam is on the news now. But i don't think this is one of them.
The more you get offended by these petty things, the more determined the offenders will become. So take it easy.

Nonsense; you just couldn't resist a cheap shot at his innocent mistake.
