Too easy

Just be sure to use "wang chung" as much as you can
Different kind ;)

According to Edward Said, '[Islam] belongs to the discourse of Orientalism – a construction fabricated to whip up feelings of hostility and antipathy against a part of the world which happens to be of strategic importance for its oil, its threatening adjacency to Christianity, its formidable history of competition with the West. Yet this is a very different thing from what to Muslims that live within its domain, Islam really is.’
How, and to what extent do you think Islam has belonged to 'the discourse of Orientalism’ in British politics and journalism post-9/11’?

those kind of jokes? i dont believe it :D have you ever offended anyone?
dude, I've offended lots of people :D I don't know if you've noticed but when I have an opinion I don't tip toe around the issue, I say it like it is [in my head]. later I think to myself "was that a good idea?" :D

here doesnt count :D i think i offend people on a daily basis in real life
I doubt you are sincere :D I bet you're the kind of guy with a lot of charm who draws people to him and then occasionally says something upsetting. If you were really about offending people you wouldn't have any friends :D

why thank you, i dont go out of my way to offend people unless they deserve it and it's fun :D but i do hold some pretty odd views that tend to generally stir the pot.
