I think (and hope) that was Snarf's feeble attempt at being ironic by drawing a horrible comparison. You know, modern day Muslims aren't that different from the Caucasian/Christian French who held mass beheadings during the French Revolution.
I guess he wants you to forget that the French Revolution ended 200 years ago, and that their society is much more civilized now.
I don't know. Snarf has to be someone's alt.
