Re: (Fwd) Re: Message from an Iranian about the WTO attack

Dude,

Presumably, a standard dictionary definition will suffice:

  Bigot

  "a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or    her own opinions and prejudices"

(http://www.m-w.com/home.htm)

I hope you aren't saying that you are having difficulty finding examples of that in the Israeli/Palestinian conflict!

In the USA, example would be white supremacy groups, and the Nation of Islam (black nationalist "muslims").

See the Soutern Poverty Law Center's web site.
