    I've read that Arabic is the most beautiful language. I questioned that aesthetically & was bizarrely accused of racism. So I deleted it.

        @RichardDawkins Hypocritical people!! If you'd said that about any other language, no one would have made a fuss.

        @ZimmermanV66 @RichardDawkins Indeed, I wonder if they'd say it's racist for thinking French language is more beautiful than English.

        @neelakandan1212 @RichardDawkins I agree. Heaven forbid that anyone critique Muslims or Islam. You may be attacked as an Islamophobe.

        @neelakandan1212 @RichardDawkins Other cultures are fair game, but not Muslim or Arabic culture. You can't even voice an opinion on them.

        @RichardDawkins Obviously Italian is the most beautiful language, and anybody who doesn't agree is a racist.

        @RichardDawkins If the accusation was 'bizarre', why did you delete? Objection to 'most beautiful language' is just that it is subjective!

        @RichardDawkins I love English. That's supremacist then, I suppose.
