There was an actress named Barbara Stock played Robert Urich's girlfriend on Spenser For Hire for a season or two. I assume this is a different person.
Bump for my tagline.
"It seems necessary to know a bit more about the Muslims living, working and raising families here in the US. The site below provides a rather biased summation (or so it seems to me) but the demographics are hard to characterize in the same manner.
http://usinfo.state.gov/products/pubs/muslimlife/ Mosques in the United States: 1,209
American Muslims associated with a mosque: 2 million
Increase in number of mosques since 1994: 25 percent
Proportion of mosques founded since 1980: 62 percent
Average number of Muslims associated with each mosque in the United States: 1,625
U.S. mosque participants who are converts: 30 percent
American Muslims who "strongly agree" that they should participate in American institutions and the political process: 70 percent
U.S. mosques attended by a single ethnic group: 7 percent
U.S. mosques that have some Asian, African-American, and Arab members: nearly 90 percent
Ethnic origins of regular participants in U.S. mosques:
South Asian (Pakistani, Indian, Bangladeshi, Afghani) = 33 percent
African-America = 30 percent
Arab = 25 percent
Sub-Saharan African = 3.4 percent
European (Bosnian, Tartar, Kosovar, etc.) = 2.1 percent
White American = 1.6 percent
Southeast Asian ( Malaysian, Indonesian, Filipino) = 1.3 percent
Caribbean = 1.2 percent
Turkish = 1.1 percent
Iranian = 0.7 percent
Hispanic/Latino = 0.6 percent
U.S. mosques that feel they strictly follow the Koran and Sunnah: more than 90 percent
U.S. mosques that feel the Koran should be interpreted with consideration of its purposes and modern circumstances: 71 percent
U.S. mosques that provide some assistance to the needy: nearly 70 percent
U.S. mosques with a full-time school: more than 20 percent I should be putting my closing in caps but I tend not to be rude... especially with associates of such high caliber. I have advised everyone I know, many of whom I have met only through net contact, to learn as much as they can about "hadiths." These are supposedly direct quotes of Muhammed and many Muslims/Moslems live by them as adjuncts to Koranic teaching. I hate to be seen as beating a dead horse (that's VERY messy) but one of the most often quoted "hadiths" is as follows."Peace is found under and Arab blade." You can take that one to the bank... for many Muslims, not yet involved in overt terrorism, still believe that Muhammed did speak these words. I am left to wonder, at what point do the peaceful faithful become rabid agents of terror?

How is it someone has access to a computer and email and knows how to use it, knows english well enough to read Barbra's column, and still can be so ignorant of the facts, or so willfully blind?
There is no structure to Islam. Anyone seems to be able to become a mullah by having two others agree that he is a mullah, and therefore there is no check on the truth, the dogma, or even the meaning of the religion. These people know less about their prized Koran than most wayward christians know about the Bible.
Is a state of denial a requirement to be a muslim?
It is too bad that the world is such that these people can't be marched into the mass grave sites and forced to dig bodies for a week, and marched into Abu Grabe and forced to speek with the muslim terrorists housed there. Thest tactics were used after Germany surrendered to force the local population to deal with the death camps up close and personal.
Islam is a disease. The 101st Airborne is the cure.
The religion of PEACE .... ??!!??

HAS there been even one Muslim to pass a Fatwah on Osama Bin Laden?
I'm sorry I can't buy this poor misinformed people manure. As human beings they lack a distinction between good and evil, right and wrong. Genetic? who cares.
When God led Israel to the "Promised Land" he made them fight for it so that it would mean more to them than something handed over for free.
His instructions were to wipe out every man, woman, child, babe in arms, and the elderly. To kill their animals, break up their pots, homes, take away nothing of the enemy with them and erase any trace of them from the face of the earth. I no longer feel confusion, or horror over why He would give such a command.
Too bad Israel disobeyed, we are all paying the price now.
Heheh... little do the tinfoil turban brigade know, it's not the Jews, it's the stonecutters!
