Fully 44 percent of the American public now believes that Islam is more likely than other religions "to encourage violence among its believers," according to poll results released yesterday by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life and the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press. The survey "shows that there has been an important shift in public perceptions of Islam," the Pew groups said. As recently as March 2002, just 25 percent expressed this view.

Shift in Perceptions

I'll be in the lounge later on
Sipping on a cold potation
But I thought the above
Deserved a loud, "DUH!"
Violence and Islam have a relation?

[camle]

OK - Here's Genevieve Gorder, one of the "Trading Spaces" babes. She's a tall curvy thang. There's room enough on my stalker menu for her too. Maybe you'll like her better...

[xsmommy]

she's cuter than MLR.

[hobbes1]

Hardly....I treat each case individually....Further, my only real preference in that regard is against the very little, fragile types...

[Hegewisch Dupa]

Here she talks about girlie-crap. You can see if you two are kindered spirits.

[xsmommy]

Is our homework about Irich poortaters or about Irish richtatoes?

Or about poor beer?

Poured Irich beer?

(Which, if it were spilt, would be a poor Irish poor-poured potator...)

[Hegewisch Dupa]

I think beautiful is more accurate, but you hardly ever approve of my taste in women, so I'll take this as some type of moral victory.

[xsmommy]

robt! are you ok? i dreamt about you the night before last. it was a scary dream and i met Ronnie and i met Jean in it.

[xsmommy]

people use different vocab to talk about looks. i don't use the word beautiful to describe many people, actually. it is more for things, in my own personal vocab.

Went to the Yankee game yesterday (send Clemens to the bullpen already!) and was aghast to see they replaced "Cracker Jacks" with boxes of "Crunch and Munch". Messing with the strike zone is one thing, but this is too much!

btw - Happy Birthday!
