"And then you call people who tell you you're wrong "habibi"??? Sorry not buying it troll."
That makes two of us.
This jerk needs to take his act back to Cp or SF...but he just needs to take it someplace other than here.

Mark Levin read an excellent op-ed piece from a Muslim living in Las Vegas who called out the radical Islamists, saying among other things he was an American first, and that he did not want their teaching or speaking in his mosque. At the Mark said he hopes the writer has good security.
Look, we are fighting a global war on Islamic terrorists. Some nations and some Muslims are providing valuable intelligence and resources to fight this war. You are suggesting that President Bush cut those all off, and I am suggesting that to do so would be stupider than 100 boxes of rocks. The goal is to win, remember? Not make the fight even harder by rejecting key resources.
Habibi is Arabic for "dear one" it is a respectful term. Not one of hate.
The mods are being very charitable tonight...that's all I'm going to say....
I agree, we need every good Muslim who understands that murder is not the answer. In all respect, I think that many Westerners think that Islam has been "hijacked" by a few who's vision is not reflective of the majority. IMHO, it is not a condemnation of Islam, but a rejection of the targeting of innocent civilians. The West is not trying to curse Islam or inhibit the faith. That is the big lie.
Islam can not change, it will not. Changing the word of Allah can not happen.
Listen numnut, I use to work at a big company, and yes they where Muslims there and you know what, they where the nicest people that I have worked with.... We are fighting a radical islam...
No actually we are fighting your ignorance of Islam.
Between that and your Habibi comment you are coming off as VERY racist.
Too charitable.
Don't bother... the 'all or nothing "purists"' aren't worth your time.
Same people want to make every single Muslim an enemy, ala the port deal.
We know Islam is easily exploited, and is the at the very center of the WoT... but the irrational 'all or nothing' on our side are at leatst 1/10th as dangerous as the loonies on the left if you ask me.
Not at all sir, I can agree to disagree with you.
well it's up to them....
Personally if someone like that is pissed off, it must've been a GREAT speech.
I consider people like that, the all or nothing crowd, no better than the Murthas and DU'ers of the world.
Read the Old Testament of the Bible. It's pretty rough at times. Do we condemn the Jew because of the rhetoric of the OT? I think not. There is much beauty and truth too in the OT.
Yup. Nobody here, I am sure, is buying that mosquewatch meant "habibi" as a term of endearment. More like calling you and tx dhimmis.
