Umm, you people are very ignorant. Usually, people from India who are Sikhs wear turbans, not the Arab muslims who are usually the terrorists.

Also, this image is of a turban from India, not from any Arab or muslim country. Many people here might have seen India's Prime Minister wearing a turban similar to that on the Daily Show when they did a segment on international affairs.

Usually it is the clerics, mullahs or other holy men who wear turbans, not the terrorists. I hope you all learned something.

I learned something. I learned that you tried turning a photoshop parody into a political rant. And it didn't work. Oh well.

Wait, so correcting the wrongs of people is turning it into politics?

Most Americans are ignorant of other cultures, almost to the point of embarrassment. The point is that the stereotypical image of a terrorist wearing a turban is totally false, and it also offends people of other faiths who actually do wear it.

The image of a terrorist wearing a turban isn't false, dummy. The problem with his chop is that that's a SIKH turban, NOT an Afghan turban. Has anyone heard of a Hindu terrorist?

By the way I'm Persian
No, they'll think you are some Middle Eastern Dude with a traditional beard unless the part of Virginia you live in is pronounced "Virgini" by the local inhabitants and if that's the case then they probably already think you are a terrorist.

Agian and agian this thread just kills me.
Some advice:
-kill youself now

Somtimes i look at people and i just think to myself; Wow, somtimes i have a bad day and look like crap, but some people have a good day and look like my throw up. Wow that would suck. To wake up knowing that you will look like that for the rest of your life no matter what.

Edit:
Wow! Somtimes i even amaze myself at how much of an ass i am. Oh well, back to pong.

My nickname is "BurnItDwn" and I look like this BurnItDwn and I don't get anyone accusing me of looking like a terrorist.

True but by your picture you look like an albino. Or someone whos been dead for like 1 1/2 weeks.
