Muslims being muslims.

Notice that there isn’t a single muslim who speaks out against any muslim committed atrocity, whether its blowing up a crowd at a marathon, mass murdering children at a school in Beslan, enslaving and gang raping young girls in Africa, blowing up a nightclub in Bali. or?...

It’s all good if it’s done by a muslim.

Silence equals approval.

Fox called it a gathering of Afghani scholars at the Uranus meeting hall to celebrate the birth of mad mo.

Well, if you are engaged in tribal warfare, I imagine a wedding is a good opportunity to target a lot of the opposing tribe.

Yep, I already was notified that my Bicycle for Peace trip was cancelled due to some physical malfunctions of a prior trip.

Afghanistan.. Ok, we are pretty sure Osama Bin Laden is dead. Can someone remind me why we are in that Trophy Class Shithole Nation?

I’d say it’s NEVER a good thing when a crowd of scholars - or anyone else - gathers around Uranus...

By what we know now, not one American was worth dying or being a casualty of that sh*thole. Same goes for the Mideast. I am in no way in agreement with much of the Rand Paul ideology in regards to foreign policy but everything since 9/11 (almost twenty years of “war”) has gained America nothing with incalculable cost. “We got” Bin Laden and Hussein rings rather hollow.

Maybe you can go on a bicycle trip instead. You know, just to show everyone how we are all the same.

Yeah. I had planned to hug everyone I saw and tell them how much I love afghanistan. Also, I planned to attend as many weddings as i could. You know...to spread peace and love.

I’ve been to couple weddings in Kabul. WAY different than our weddings. Men and women completely separate. Lots of food. Hugely expensive.
