It was a bad joke in poor taste.
I was being hyperbolic.
Btw there have been plenty of non Muslim terrorists. Look at Timmothy mcvey
in the 90s.

Clearly just a white guy.

I wasn't paying any attention to the name when I made that joke. Asking how
to start and stop bit torrent sounded like malware code the way it was
asked.

The name had absolutely nothing to do with the joke. Period.

Can we all please get over the butt hurt?
I already said I'm sorry.
