To: I got the rope

> Name one thing the Koran or any muslim has contributed to this country.

This is a troll... right? OK, I'll bite:

Salman Rushdie has taken a much more useful and courageous stance against radical Muslims than you will ever do: he faces a personal fatwah from the Ayatolla Khomeni for writing _The Satanic Verses_ and could get bumped off any day. How's that for a contribution??

Whereas I doubt that you will ever face personal risk from Muslim Extremists for holding your beliefs: far less publishing them.

Your arguments are pathetic and bigoted and betray a rather small mind hard at work: I think I can smell smoke from your gears twirling too hard without lubrication.

I'd like to think you could do better than that. Try!

You insult another poster by making baseless claims of your own.

Salman Rushdie was born in India and spent his formative years there and in England.
He does NOT believe in Islam and is NOT a Muslim.
He's a secular humanist.

So he's an atheist foreigner who has made a great contribution by serving deft blows at the pillars of Islam.

How does this make him a muslim making contribution in the US ?

Now please do answer the original poster's question with some semblance of suitable reply.

Name one thing the Koran or any muslim has contributed to this country.

I'll bite as well, and raise it to two:

My physician is Muslim. (Whether my continued health is a "contribution" to this country is, of course, debateable amongst my opponents here...)

Meroueh, M.; Grohar, P. J.; Qiu, J.; SantaLucia, J., Jr.; Scaringe, S. A.; Chow, C. S. “Unique Structural and Stabilizing Roles for the Individual Pseudouridine Residues in the 1920 Region of Escherichia coli 23S rRNA”, Nucleic Acids Res. 2000, 28, 2075.

How did you manage to use so many words and still totally fail to answer the question, or even stay in the same county?
