KISS bassist offends Muslims

• "Extremism believes that it's okay to strap bombs on to your children and send them to paradise and whatever else and to behead people," he said yesterday.
  
  The Israeli-born US musician went on to say Islam was a "vile culture" that treated women worse than dogs.
  
  Muslim women had to walk behind their men and were not allowed to be educated or own houses, he said.
  
  "Your dog, however, can walk side by side, your dog is allowed to have its own dog house... you can send your dog to school to learn tricks, sit, beg, do all that stuff – none of the women have that advantage."
  
  He went on to say the west was under threat.
  
  "This is a vile culture and if you think for a second that it's going to just live in the sands of God's armpit you've got another thing coming," he said.
  
  "They want to come and live right where you live and they think that you're evil."
  
  Simmons said the United Nations approach did not work and the west had to "speak softly and carry a big stick".

Failing to distinguish between Islam and fundamentalist Islam is a good way of displaying your ignorance, or Gene Simmons'.
