I look at these photos and I can’t help but think that the Swiss have done a better job of channeling their energy and passions to productivity than the people of Sudan.

It is only an opinion so I don’t want to be flamed by the pro-Sudan crowd OK?

My sentiments exactly.

Given sufficient funding (Saudi?) and strategic placement within an infidel nation (USA, crossing via the Mex border?), these cretins could do great harm. Thus a little preemptive discouragement is in order.

How dare you call these savages “Savages”? Don’t you know our president will attest to the fact that they are young representatives of “The religion of Peace?” (sarcasm off).

He may talk gentle, but he has sure destroyed an awful lot of them.

I doubt that the Muslims have feared a western man as much as they fear Bush, in a very long memory.

Islam is anti-human. They all must eventually be killed if we are to survive.
