It's a good thing you broke free and got therapy. I do not see that it is relevant to the issue at hand unless as an object lesson as to why you do NOT want Sharia law to make inroads into our culture and Constitution.
It wasn't breaking free. I simply grew up and most of them died off. Simple as that.
I hate Sharia law. So do most of the folks I know. Did you even read the silly forum and comments post of mine?
That is the type of daily conversation I have with muslims. Bin ladin is insane, fundies are pains in the butt, the oldies need to just crawl back into their caves. Those are the people I know.
I haven't known much kindness in my life. But I will tell you this..... if you are kind to me, I will be loyal to you until death. And that is why I will defend those who've treated me well, always.
