#1 They can't think of anything, even a beauty pageant, in terms other than religion.

A true fixation.

#8 I fully agree that non-Muslim Arabs should be seen as far superior to Muslim Arabs, be they Maronite and Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox, Armenian Apostolic, Greek Melkite, Coptic, Syriac Orthodox, and Protestant.

Likewise, there are many Jews who are Arabic as well, and as such are far superior to Muslim Arabs.

So, the problem is not in being Arabic.

#9 The kudzu religion speaks out.

Hey, kudzu has some value. We have a annual kudzu festival. Our goats love that stuff. They will eat it all day.

"Of course wearing a swimming suit is not permissible in Islam and there are so many other ways of showing beauty."

Somehow, I don't think the swimsuit is going to replace the boomber vest and the 7th century mentality.

#10 Many religions have modesty codes but only one has followers who will throw acid into the faces of those they believe don't live up to them.

Start within if Muslims want to change stereotypes. Volunteer for extra security at the airport. Denounce Muslims who demand to be treated as superiors. Denounce and fight against Muslims jihading against civilization. Etc. Etc.
