When I first read the question I thought he was fed up of moustaches! I thought this odd as they are not really in fashion. Joking aside, It bothers me not that he calls them towel heads ..it's not like that description of them leaves you wondering who he is talking about. Hence, it is a crude analogy but nonetheless pictorally correct. Their turbans are indeed towel like.
How about good manners? How about using the correct words to describe someone instead of cheap jibes? How about dropping blanket prejudice about millions of people and condemning the individual transgressors rather than the whole group? How about realising that there are extremists in all religions? How about engaging brain before using mouth? How about...oh never mind.
I would suggest before any of us pull apart a religion or ethnic group people first read up a little and understand about it and them. At this point no reason to then point out a few weaknesses. However having said this, I still believe that constantly pointing fingers, highlighting peoples weaknesses and differences between us does nothing more than make everyones little more stressful and S**T basiscally!
Does anyone really think that one day some ethnic group or religious group is going to say, hey you're right you know, all those things you said about us, you were right all along, we will change our ways!
Don't work like that, accept we are all different and learn to deal with it and live together.
I'm not a left, hippy, student or any other label quoted for such views, just a realist.

The Questioner apears to have been reading too much media propganda, without actually analysing the root causes of the current (and rising) predjudice.
You must remember that being a Muslim is utterly different from being a Chrisitan, unless a seriously strong follower of Christ. The Muslim faith is not simply a matter of praying and going to Friday prayers, it is intrinsicallly woven into the eastern fabric of daily life, it is an all-embracing cultural way of living which Westerners find hard to understand.
Because of this attitude, by its very nature, The Muslim faith lends itself to a degree of fanatical following which is again embraced in a manner which Westerners, who are far more lassais-faire about almost anythng in life, find difficult to comprehend. It is this monority - and it is a minority - who descend into the fanatical acts and propoganda which currently tars the entire culture and faith as a bunch of loony Western-loathing bombers.
This misconception is seriously fulled by the PC media who are keen to foster the image that Moslems want the world to change to their way of life. It is not Muslims who dictate the notion of fear of religious offence, it is Western do-gooders who twist such ideas and propgate them.
The majority of Muslims live perfectly happily with other faiths, and have no desire to either bomb or subvert other cultures to their way of life.
Just like ecoman - some strong views make the news, the majority simply do not feel this way.

My dear friends - well brionon and catso anyway - where have I argued that people shouldn't be able to express an opinion in this post? The answer - nowhere. The fact is that I have chosen to express my opinion about what I see as the offensive nature of the language used in the question - but I haven't reported it or tried to get it banned. And catso - class doesn't come into it -unless you think that offensive language and stupidity is the sole perogative of the 'lower classes' - and I certainly don't.
