The Abdelrahmans, who live in Princeton, N.J., joined about 15,000 other Muslims, mostly from New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, as well as about 100 non-Muslim guests invited to learn more about Islam.

I think I could be accurately labeled as skeptical.

"The Quran does not give greater value to the life of a Muslim than to that of a non-Muslim,"

Then no wonder the Muslims murder both by the hundreds.

The well meaning efforts of "non-muslims" are a puzzle to me. The greatest respects (IMHO) one could pay to any one else's religion, would be simply to let them practice it. That is unless that religion breaks existing laws of human decency.

Why these people do this kind of thing boggles the mind. Do they feel some exotic mysterious euphoria?

There is more than one important question though, as yet unanswered. The first is why?. Why does a comparitively hitherto unknown religion rate this "understanding". The final question is why?. Why do not people seem to question, that the Christian religion does not rate the same attraction for muslims?

The bottom line is that ultimately, people are enacting the kowtow.

If we follow the 10 percent rule, there were 13,500 people there giving aid, comfort and cover to 1500+ Islamists hell bent on destroying America.

Tell me again why I’m supposed to feel friendly to Muslims?
