2014 Giro d'Italia, Stage 7: Frosinone → Foligno (211 km)

This conversation is a mess.

1 ilovecycling thinks bouhanni and khan look alike - fine
2 he thinks islam isn't for him - fine
3 he thinks that both riders are arabian when one is french-algerian and the other is british-****stani - a sloppy unresearched post

Nothing else to say,perhaps the problem has been caused by ilovecycling admitting he doesnt like islam which then gives his other musings a different slant. Were all good in this chat i think,no racism here.

You're right Tournesol, it's a mess, good that I had problem logging in so I was late to post my own rant as someone who's very close with Islamic world (being irreligious myself), you stop me

Anyway, I love Bouhanni sprinting like mad near the barrier, but he strikes me as a little too aggressive once he got off the bike, I can't like him. It can change though, haven't seen everything about him.

That is you and not everybody else and again we don't know what or how ilovecycling think.

I know its hard to know feelings of someone on this forum,cuz its only written text but I will try to explain my attitude.
Firstly every post what netserk wrote, I agree with that,these are like my opinions.(read Not a big deal)

Secondly,Im a european man (he) who,like most of others here, is completely tolerant to all races and kind of religions as its normal in civilised Europe fortunately.I know there are some crazy people (almost in all countries around europe) who have really something against it,but these are crazy id:iots who have psychological problems or have IQ below 80 imo,as its beyond my mind why they talk like this when they grew up in european civilised society.
The post from the other thread...fair enough that you put it here,its better to other people know what we are talking really about (as I was almost sure you read this before we started talking this).I wrote that post in a roush,thats why I wrote 'I dont like',I didnt explain how much,why etc.In fact, I have been into a conflict with some parts of Qur'an,but these are only minor things.If I will travel to these countries (which I want,I love to recognize cultures etc.and arabian is one of the most interesting,tremendous history,events,people etc.) I won't have any problems with it at all.Im sorry to mr Ali,but except of that thing I already explained its kind of my habit to call him this way (like Rodriguez-Purito),so thats why I wrote it this way in a rush and I didnt considerded any possible consequences.I love him and admire him,he is one of the best sport person in a history,he did a great job for sport of boxing that I love,and Im thankful to him for this.Next time I will more think about what implications sensible words can have.Sometimes I write more quickly than I think,I know that and it can be bad,and I will try to improve that in all my ways of personal expression including this forum.

Sorry for long post,but its worth it,I really wanted to you (not only zam) know my feelings as a whole to not confuse.

If you are ok,please write it here and then we should stop talking off-topic discussion which I created i am aware of that.(if you have any other question or something,write me on twitter if you want iirc you follow me)

This is such pompous nonsense. Who researches this type of forum post -one that is just commenting on an event that happened a couple minutes prior? It was just a passing thought on his part. "Wow, close brush with racism, but I think we're all safe guys, whew." Eternal lols. You guys are beyond parody.

I think your reading too much into it.Your ranting about nothing.The point of my post was that ilovecycling just said something without thinking and that nothing was racist,which i presume is exactly what your saying therefore i find your comments rather bizarre.

I apologize then, and thanks for the clarification.

No worries.I'm sure ilovecycling is working on his geography as we speak.

Thats the funny thing.As my geography knowledge is above the average level of this forum (I dont want sound cocky) if majority of forum havent studied it (I have,my 2nd specialisation).My english is a bit worse tho,and my connection in previous post between north africans and pak.istans was purely Islam.

bolded: this is demography not geography, sorry I had to

Your geography is good then and so is your english despite the disclaimer,you contribute alot of knowledgeable stuff to the forum,i like your posts.

You predicted that wheelsucker Gerrans would do something in the Ardennes,i like Gerrans in truth,a clever tactical racer but you definitely called that one right,i honestly thought spring illness done for him.

To say a British-Pak.istani is Arabian means you need to look into some history,your geography is probably good.
