> I think some are missing the point that a muslim did a truly honorable thing.

Yes, this seems to be a parallel to the Good Samaritan parable in the Bible. I don’t have a very high opinion of Muslims as a group, but this man needs to be given some credit. Also in the same way that negative actions are counted against Muslims in general, this positive one needs to be added to their credit.

Read and respond to the comment I made, not the one you thought I made.

Based on the comment I actually made, not the one you thought I made, what do you think I would have done?

The post was:

Kudos to the Apple Store for doing the right thing.

You put in such a way that it seems the store was obligated to replace the iPad.

What's happening to our Freeper moral values?

The statement you made questioned another Freeper's moral values in making the statement that the Apple Store did the right thing. You inferred that he was suggesting it was the right thing only due to a sense of obligation.

I saw no such sentiment.

I have, however, seen Freepers who discourage and disdain acts of kindness and charity when there is no law to force such acts. They view doing as little as possible to help others as the "right thing". That is a problem of moral character.

Yeah, that's what I meant when I said:

Are you saying that not giving him a new iPad would have been wrong?
