They just want to "pose" in the local market square and show off the latest grenade launcher they stole!! Can you imagine if Americans didn't go to work five days a week, but just mosied on down to the local market and "peole watched" all day like those Arabs/Islamics do??!!

As best I can tell from watching the local college Muslims, they must drive Ford Escorts and Honda Civics or risk being unclean.

And the women have to shop at Walmart. The devil lives in the KMart.

They stole all those ideas from the Indian and Chinese civilazations...none of their "ideas" were theirs....

One way to solve this problem is to forget about ALL religions. The Soviets managed to hold people of different faiths together by asking them not practice their religions! That would also solve the Middle East crisis! Saudi Arabia would be open for everybody, and selling of pork in Mecca would go through the roof? India and Pakistan may become a world power? Just like John Lennon’s song, Imagine....!!!The reality is the religious leaders would never allow that to happen. They are the parasites of society, they work a couple hours a week, and do nothing else?

They had nothing! to do with Algebra. Go look up any ancient vedic text on Algebra...it eons older than any Muslim text.

Islam's cultural record is really pretty bare when you strip out the products of conquered peoples.

You can actually date the point where Islam started its decline: it was when they stopped getting an influx of conquered people who knew how to run a civilization. Islam is culture that revolves around fighting and conquering. As long as there was an influx of loot and prisoners, they were OK. Then they went into stagnation for hundreds of years.

In modern times, the Islamic countries which had oil deposits experienced a brief period of prosperity living off the loot generated by infidel oil companies, but it looks like that will end soon, as their unproductive population expands to the point where they consume all the oil wealth

In the past, the Arab Muslims make great strides in mathematics, medicine, architecture, and astronomy. Something went wrong later.

There was an excellent article posted here a few months ago detailing how the advances in math etc were accomplished by people in areas that we would taoday call Arab but before they had been conquered by the Islamists. I urge you to check it out.

The Rush Limbaugh theory is working in Iran. We have exported liberalism, and they have bought it. The under 30s are into drugs, rock 'n roll, abortions, Pepsi, pizza. Not only that, but they are the majority of the population, thanks to the breeding program initiated by the Islamists.

Engel Ballistic Research sells ammunition lubricated with pork fat.

"Satan said he would make himself like the most high God, hmmm could he be the author of this religion? "

Of course, He's the author of ALL religion. What does God need with a religion? Religion is required in lieu of having faith, IMO. Religion is a barrier between you and your maker, in my experience.

Recommended reading suggestion:

"Islam Unveiled"
by Robert Spencer

I heard the author interviewed on The Michael Medved Show; the book sounds to be
well-documented and "pulls no punches" in describing the well-know and secretive
parts of "The Religion of Peace, Inc.".
