When I wrote that I was going from memory. It's very hard to go back and find things you said that could be construed as racist because you have said so much and honestly you appear to have a certain amount of respect for the Arab and Muslim culture. Still, I felt I should either back my statement up or apologize.

umm, dude, you better chill. Palestinian aren't mad animals. It's not their fault that they're born in a society that promotes violence, and is generally primitive

I am not kidding. It's very serious, and an important distinction.

Their society is has some pretty ****ing wierd social rules, that make fertile ground for this ****. female suicide bombers, are for example, usually girls that had sex before marriage ( the horror! ). They do it to save the honour of their families.

You understand correctly. I think I made it quite clear that in that post.

Agreed.
However, people often make racial or biased statements with the best of intentions such as the white man's burden by Rudyard Kipling or almost any poem by Kipling addressing the darker races. Let me give you some examples.

Leave them alone, they can't help it if they are ugly.
Leave them alone, they can't help it if they are retarded.
Leave them alone, they can't help it if they are primitive.
Leave them alone, they can't help it if they are Jewish.
Leave them alone, they can't help it if they are Palestinian.
