Thanks for the pings. My bf got disgusted and quit reading half way through. We had a lively discussion on the likes of Steven Spielberg, and Barbra Streisand, though.
They embarass him like Roger Cardinal Mahoney(among others) embarasses me. Btw, he does attend an evangelical Christian church on a regular basis. Several members helped him through a rather horrible divorce, years ago.
I've always been confused with the Hollywood Jewish position of ridiculing piety and faith. Bf explained it. Liberal jackasses who don't practice their faith.
Very cool pic. That guys is a total jerk, that's putting it nicely.
Yeah...sad but true.
I lived in Saudi Arabia for five years. I traveled over the near east too, even to such Muslim conclaves as Syria, Jordan, Egypt (twice) and India.
None of the many Saudis, Arabs and non-Arab Muslims (75% of all Muslims) I met over those years were killers of women and babies. Dang, imagine that.
Dang, that was a rather sweeping answer you gave.
Funny about incorrect stereotypes, they have a way of looking very ... incorrect, more that 95% even. Dang.
But then, dang, you were just a-joshin', weren't you?
No, I wasn't joshing. Note I said "condoners" of murder. You and your pro islamic view cannot admit that just maybe a few mooselimbs know who the terrorists are and don't give a damn. I believe that EVERY terrorist attack could have been prevented by some of your religion of peace adherents just speaking up. Columbia MO islamic students at MU were filmed dancing in the streets on 9/11 (but of course that film was "lost" by the ultra liberal TV station.)
When one of your "peaceful" people speak up against the radical lslamic thugs, then I'll eat crow, but until then, my statement stands.

So how much of the population do you think that you met in your travels(in percentages)? Just playing Allah's, I mean Devil's, advocate. The problem IS fundamental interpretation of the Quran. The majority of Islamic scholars and clerics are preaching the hate/violence that Mohammed practiced almost the same way they did in the 7th century. And Saudi Arabia still is the biggest exporter of wahabbism. There are those that don't even know exactly what they are saying because they have simply memorized the verses in the classic Arabic. I am not taking personal shots at your friends/acquaintences (sp?) so please don't read that into it. Unfortunately, however, they are in the minority.
"Liberal" in the sense you seem to be using it is basically synonymous with Leftism, which is definitely fascist.

Thanks for the intelligent post. (t sure beat my 95 percent comment.) I think I react to the naive posts that muslims are misunderstood because I am afraid for the future of America and the world. Too many people have their heads in the sand (or elsewhere) and refuse to see the evil preached by the leaders of islam.
I don't want to evangelize anyone. Jews have their own covenant with G-d. We are on the same team, of the same family.
