Yes.

What no one is saying is that the Shiites are among the greatest nutballs of a creed in which nutball behavior is apparently the norm. They are allied to their brother Shiites in Iran and wish the whole world to be under Sharia Law.

They promote the Islamic cults of suicide. They glory in suffering. Their major annual celebration is of a crushing defeat. If these people take over, the people of Iraq might soon be longing for the "Good Old Days" under the secular Saddam.

I heard the bright young Muslim, Zaccaria on PBS the other day. I wanted to reach into my car radio and strangle the snot-nosed clymer. Islam needs a major reform right now. A good start would be to keep Muslims on the Islamic side of the world for another millenium or so. They are oh-so-not-ready for life in Christendom.

Islam is not what Muslims say. It is not what they believe. It is what they are DOING to non-Muslims all over the world that is the problem.
