Trying to have contest of who knows more muslims ? ;-)

LOL. Im talking about people whom Ive known for years who stand firm for Islam's right to subdue and curtail everything that doesn't submit to it.

Theyre nice as pie to me, but when ive dug a little deep, the hate for western lasciviousness and the awe of mighty islam rears its ugly head.

You're talking about people who you are interacting with on a purely trivial work/social basis in Iraq.

Do you honestly think theyre telling you, a western woman, their inner most true feelings ?

I have two friends in Iraq right now.

Not civilian contractors, but military.

They see what's going on up close and personal and the reality of the cold reality theyre facing offers up a very different opinion than yours.

I'll take the men in the trenches word to heart.

Their truth is unvarnished and in your face about islam. P.S- I have a little experiment for you, ask your muslim Iraqi friends if theyd rather have a terrorist for a son or one who has converted to Christianity.

This comment here is where I stopped even considering taking you seriously.

You don't know the extent of my experience, so you assume.

Nice try, though. Have a nice evening or wee hours or whatever it is there. ;-)
