patgundThe comparison is a bit contrived, in my viewpoint. Still, the comparison of being in a minority religion vs using a minority computer system, is an interesting one to think on and debate. (Mind you, this is coming from a Pagan who uses Macintoshes, so I may be able to see the simularities she comments on - as well as the areas the arguement is reaching a bit.)
What do Macs and Islam have in common?
"The choice to use a Mac or to be Muslim in today's world is not easily understood. In a world where the vast majority of computers are PC, where Islam is perceived as the enemy, why would someone choose to be a Mac user or a Muslim? Bias against both is rampant. Those who we rely on to educate us -- the media -- are themselves neither Muslim nor Mac users. Outright untruths are widely subscribed to. Muslims and Mac users are described as cult members, when, clearly, we are not. "
Like I said, I think the comparison is a bit contrived, but it's still interesting
