"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus
The reason I'm huge on self-defense is because it WAS almost me. I would be six feet under right now if weren't for our janitor working with us at the time. He was a cop working a second job and saved my butt one night when a lunatic got his hands on my throat. He kept the loon pinned down for twenty looonnnng minutes before the county mounties finally arrived.
