Wish I can could be at this meeting.
I'd ask a lot of uncomfortable questions that came to mind when watching
the apologist piece:
"Muhammad: Legacy of A Prophet".
http://www.pbs.org/muhammad/
This aired soon after 9-11 on PBS and was intended to quell anti-Muslim (Arab)
sentiment in the USA.
Instead it had simply left me scratching my head as to how Muhammed was considered
any sort of virtuous figure.
And I wasn't alone. Even the fairly liberal Ken Minyard (of KABC 790AM, Los Angeles)
came away thinking that this portrait of Muhammad wasn't flattering.
Read about the life of Mohammed starting at http://www.flex.com/~jai/satyamevajayate/mohwar1.html
You wouldn't happen to have chapter and verse on that would you?
It just might come in handy in any number of foreseeable circumstances...
Thanks for the link.
I see it includes Muhammad's assassins' murder of the poetess that
dared to mock him.
I'd just read about that maybe two weeks before the cartoon war
broke out (in "Jihad In The West" by Paul Fregosi).
Hearing about the reaction to the cartoons, I could only think,
these guys are just as humour-challenged as their founder was 1400 years ago.
Talk about a bunch of sticks in the mud.
Or rather, in the sand in many cases.
We're taking names, Rang. If you don't show up for your indoctrination appointment, we're taking names.
Well, smoking, whatever its social faults and health dangers, is a beautifully effective short-term stress release mechanism - hence its popularity. And a life of liberal, especially at age 43 [midlife liberal crisis?] has to be stressful nowadays. Therefore do not blame your friend - he was/is mentally defecative, and this punishment is hard enough.
Google "Jewish widow Safiyya, " you will get hundreds of pings. The story of how Mohammed "married" this teenager is not disputed, in fact it is boasted amongst muslims.
I would like to make a correction, her son was not beheaded, just her father, husband, and all male relatives.
Her son not being a male relative?
Odin Akbar!
Thanks. Charming people.
Ya never know..he might have a fit of premature jihadulation..
