Don't tell anyone or it will get ruined like NV.

Yep, guess you are right. I was just kidding all. Alabama is a bad place to live. Yes, 97% of the population is on drugs and snuff. 103% of the population has AIDS and Bubonic Plague, 97% are parolees, and 92% have been indicted for capital murder. To top it off 109% are Auburn graduates. Summing up, you should not, I repeat should not move to Alabama.

[Alas Babylon!]

Exactly!!! Because so much of the civil rights struggle was fought in Alabama, the Sheeple have the idea that most white Alabamians are racist. Think Bull Conner and George Wallace. So much has changed, but unless you come down here and see it yourself, you'd never know it from what Hollywierd and the big media types put out.

So leak this story about Alabamians being more "intolerant", and you'll achieve your goal of making the Sheeple feel racist for distrusting foreign Muslims living in the USA, because then they'd be thinking like those George Wallace types from that backwards state, Alabama.

>Sounds OK to me, I am moving there tomorrow. See you there. Alabama seems to be a perfect state for a dejected Ca conservative<

Come on down, bring your hidden SKS and get your pistol permit. Ya know that part about"The right of the people to bear arms shall not be infringed"? well, we believe that here. Along with the rest of it. No where does it say anything about "if the current government will let you"!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lee308

War Eagle! You just reminded me of when my future husband and I stood at Toomer's corner and watched George Wallace campaign for his first run for Governor. The college crowd was hooting and hollering and laughing at him. I think most of us were pulling for DeGraffenreid. I couldn't believe Wallace actually won.

When I was at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa in 1979 the hostages were taken in Iran. All the middle eastern students: Kuwaiti, Saudi, Pakistani...all of them started wearing placards around their necks saying:

"I'm NOT from Iran. PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!"

The Iranians just left town altogether.

Naaaaw you got it wrong: It's ROOOOOLLLLL TIDE! I was there for the glory years 1978 and 1979 for back to back national championships and BEAR BRYANT. I graduated in 1980.

Appears to me that AL might be a tad bit smarter than NY in this particular matter.

Than again, I never particularly much minded what NY ever thought. (For example, it would take a New Yorker to figure Hillary was intelligent, much less "beatiful" as I've seen written.)

Most Muslim leaders were quick to voice horror at the Sept. 11 attacks. Some liken the terrorists' use of Islam to justify murder as being similar to the Ku Klux Klan's reliance on Christianity to trade on racism.

I've heard this analogy made before and it infuriates me. Because first of all, the Ku Klux Klan has been driven nearly out of existence. Even in Alabama. And if some Ku Klux Klan members committed an atrocity in the name of Christianity, the streets would immediately fill with good Christians totally repudiating the connection. Where were these Muslim leaders expressing their horror after 9/11? A few may have paid lip service or issued some bland press release. But I have not seen the Muslim outrage. Only the cheering in the streets.

Most Muslim leaders were quick to voice horror at the Sept. 11 attacks.

I was either asleep when this happened, or it was a very short news conference because I haven't seen even ONE "Muslim leader" voice anything other than tacit approval for what Bin Laden did.

[Sci Fi Guy]

Also, I'm sorry, but I just don't remember hearing of many Muslim clerics decrying the 9/11 attacks. Can someone enlighten me what I may have missed?

Actually there have been several, but don't expect the national media to report it. That would require them to take religion seriously.

Could somebody give me a rough percentage of the arab makeup in Dearborn? I know there are 200,000+ in the Detroit metro.

[Terridan]

But I wish you would show me where they have denounced any of the terrorists acts!!!

[Terridan]

Ditto, we are on our way back to GODS COUNTRY!!!!

Not to mention Alabama still sells fireworks.
