In that case I was partly right. I does not include only jews.

You were still completely incorrect, you said it had to do with religion rather than ethnicity, when it was the opposite.

No, I was not completely incorrect. Antisemitism has something to do with jews and middle-easterns, and hatred.

Semites are all middle-easterners, but anti-semitism is used to describe hatred of the Jewish race and religion specifically.

No its not! Didi you completely miss the defination of semite a few posts ago? Anti-Semitism therefore applies to all the included ethnic groups. Seriously, why the fuck should jews be special?

Antisemistism is hatred towards any religious group, not just jews.

Yes, as I said i was mistaken.

However, Anti-Semitism is bias towards all the people mentioned in the description.

I have no prob admitting I'm wrong draq. :)

Its just that when people attempt to prove me wrong when I am right that irks me. (such as fallout uber fanboys refusing to admit that the game cannot be completed in a purely diplomatic manner and that being shot at constitues as violence and as a combat encounter)

What's the point in this? All you had to do in Morrowind was drink a thousand bottles of sujamma and you could one hit anything. What possible need is there to be more powerful?

Historically the term Semite, like Aryan, was solely a linguistic grouping. As far as I'm aware the derived term anti-Semite was coined by a German organisation that disliked Jews specifically (not Semitic peoples in general) and wanted to name their group something more sophisticated (if less accurate) than The Jew-baiters Club.

In contemporary usage the term anti-Semitism, like its ubiquitous cousin “racism”, is a form of battle cry employed by the shakedown operations masquerading as civil rights organisations.

Islamic Extremists & Radical Islam = "Terrorists who abusively invoke Islam"
Illegal Alien = "Immigrant" & "Unregistered citizens"
Garbage Man = "Sanitation engineer"
Secretary = "Administrative Assistant"
Handicapped = "Handicapable"
Crook = “Morally challenged”
Cheating =“Academic Dishonesty”

I fucking hate political correctness, it's a modern form of censorship that's just weakening Western countries...

Nobody says "Handicapable" and if you see someone who does, please kindly ask them to stop.

Political correctness is a terrible virus, uglifying languages world-wide.
