The Muslims - mostly Arabs - who strictly follow the koran are savages.
The religion ought to be trashed, because it is the source of intolerance, suffering, torture, revolution, oppression, dictatorships, kidnappings, and other unpleasantries around the world. Islam needs to go the way of Kali worship, Aztec paganism, and canabalism. The rest of the world's religions get along much better.
I don't know about that. I can get as mad as some of you but 15 minutes on a thread such as this destroys a lot of diplomacy our government has worked very hard to achieve. Not that we have achieved a whole lot.

Maybe if we try to set a better example they will learn faster. We have to go after the terrorists. That is a given. Anything else is begging for more; HOWEVER, we still need to be kind to those who have done us no harm.
I was trying to think of some good things about Arabs because the lady said they weren't blessed. They have been blessed with black gold. They have good looks and robust health for the most part. I was wondering if any studies have been done about their incidence of breast cancer, tooth decay, sexual diseases, other health problems.
The invented our numbering system. This board would be quite different without that.
They made great strides in medicine while Europe was wallowing in the Dark Ages.
They have beautiful calligraphy.
They have delicious food.
And they invented ebay. That was pretty progressive, don't you think? I'm told it was two Pakistani's who developed it but now I'm told a woman runs it, Arab I believe. If I get a chance I'll try to find out more about that.
I think the hope is that as they come more into the 21st century and achieve a nice lifestyle, they will leave behind some of their warrior ways.
Time will tell. Time is not on our side though.
As for kissing a rock, I don't get too upset about that. We do some strange things sometimes, too. Like bungee jumping.
