Bizarre Islamophobic email I just received

[binka]

The other question is what do you do when people who are otherwise moderately rational and not overtly BNP shitwits send you this sort of bullshit as a chain e-mail?

Is it sensible to try and reason with them? Or is there a way I can cause their computer to explode?

on my first day at work just over two years ago the general manager of the depot had printed out one of these emails and read it to us. i thought he was taking the piss, it turned out he wasn't. he was also sent a chain email of implausible (ie - photoshopped) pictures and genuinely thought the shark was about to eat the man dangling out the helicopter. best course of action whether it be died in the wool racists or gullible idiots is mockery imo. except when its your boss in which case saying nothing usually works out quite well.

Turkey, Croatia and Albania are all Muslim majority states

Agree with rest of post, but very sure you mean Bosnia, not Croatia. A large part of Croatia's recent history, good and ill, is about its Roman Catholicism.

Got a totally bizarre one a few days ago, can't work out if the person sending it really knew they were sending it, or a virus has overtaken their email.
