if you went to school in the 90's, so likely your young and not tempered by life's knocks.

Some of us started going to school much later in life, like after getting out of the Army. I'd call war a pretty big one of "life's knocks." It's actually my experience in the Gulf War, having met many local Muslims, that started my interest in the subject. Of course, the ones I met weren't the raving anti-Western fanatics you see on TV, so my personal experience with Muslims is quite good.

In other words, don't read too much into things :)

I understand.

Your point is very well taken. Because of their teachings, I have become very skeptical of their true intentions.

Just remember there are good ones and there are bad ones. They're not all Queen Noor, but then they're not all Bin Laden either.

Will the Islamic art wing include all of the atrocities inflicted to the Europe and the United States including beheadings, incinerated remains of the people in the planes and twin towers, how about mutilated bodies of the folks in the tube and buses in London and let's not forget the Madrid trains.

Yes, this will all appear in the "contemporary art" section of the Islamic wing.

"I don't know. Do the sections containing Christian art include witch burnings, Inquisition, Jewish persecution and the Catholics/Protestants murdering or exiling the other to die?"

And all of this is happening currently, correct? In this century, correct? Now, when are the Islamic beheadings, stonings, bombings, torturings, terrorist attacks occuring, pray tell me? Could it be now, probably this very day in some part of the world? Christianity grew out of most of its bad habits; can't say the same for Islam, can you.

"A whole wing full of that will be quite boring."

Those French pukes will "oooing and ahing" all that garbage the Muslims call art.

Nope, in fact they've been getting worse.

[flaglady47]

"Nope, in fact they've been getting worse."

Please list for me all of the current beheadings, bombings, torture sessions, terrorist attacks that have taken place recently by these "getting worse" Christian groups. I'd love to know what you seem to know but no one else does.

This work of art Alaweed calls "Domestic Tranquility"

I'd love to know what you seem to know but no one else does.

Me too, because the "getting worse" comment was about Islam.

But as far as atrocities, are we talking stuff Christians do, or stuff Christians do for their religion? I don't think do in general is fair, as you'd get all sorts of atrocities done for reasons really having nothing to do with the religion. As far as for the religion, they have taken to bombing abortion clinics and shooting doctors lately. The big difference, of course, is that most Christians openly condemned the actions.

And how can we know for sure which is Queen Noor or Bin Laden when they are all being taught to lie and deceive their 'enemy'. I say, have caution with them all. They have earned our caution, the pc and appeasers will be the fools in the end. Convert? Never!

One day the Louvre will be one big Islamic wing.

Everything else?

[fortunecookie]

Yeah, me too. And forget the wine and cheese snacks.

Here's another article on the same subject that I was just about to post.

Some interesting tidbits from the article:

"Alwaleed, a nephew of Saudi King Fahd and the world's fifth richest man, is a businessman and generous philanthropist. He owns the Kingdom Hotels International and Fairmont hotel groups, and is a major shareholder in Citigroup and Eurodisney."

"The Saudi billionaire was at the center of a controversy after former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani turned down his $10 million donation to Sept. 11 victims."

Naturally, the French gladly accepted his $20 million donation.

"Noor" is an American-born arab who leveraged her father's business connections into a "royal" marriage to Hussein of Jordan.

She went to Princeton.

She is a traitor, a turncoat and a contemptible swine.
