Man, I have got to stop posting in invisible electrons . . .:rolleyes:

Sorry, I didn't see your link. That's why I usually just copy and paste the article. That way more people read it.

You don't have a clue. It's all speculation on your part.

People notice who is civilized and who isn't. You'd be surprised at how mature and stable many Muslims are. I've met some of them.

Touche. Exactly right. This notion that we Americans have some sort of monopoly on sane, civilized behavior is nonsense.

Circa 1900, we were perpetrating atrocities on Filipinos, referring to them as monkeys cuz they had the sense to crouch (good for the back) when resting.

And Vietnam was an unvarnished travesty.

C'mon man, you're a leftie -- no one pays any attention to you. ;)

As opposed to fact on YOUR part because you KNOW? How?

And I have met some unstable ones too. I have met them inside and, more importantly OUT of this country. What's your point? That those you met are more representative of what they are than those I met? If so, why? My point is simple. I have seen them enraged about what they perceive as offenses or slights to their religion. Yet if OBL & Co do something, little is said, if any. So, if they know how to scream and yell at a cartoon, are you trying to tell me that their silence is because they don't know how to do the same at what OBL is doing or is it because they are in agreement? Please don't tell me what the govt of a muslim state says. I could care less. Bill C does not speak for all Dems and neither do the Bushs speak for all Reps. Show me the massive hue and cries of the common people.

On the same note, I haven't seen any demonstrations in the US against Bin Laden either. And our administration doesn't even seem to try to get him. Yet many Americans get enraged about abortion and gay rights. What does that prove?

Bin Laden doesn't speak for all muslims either. Any idiot knows that. In fact today he hardly even speaks.

So you are saying that muslims can show anger at slights or even perceived slights at their religion and are media savvy, IOW, they are not clueless as to how do make a ruckus. Also, they are against what OBL has done in the name of their religion but somehow we don't hear a word about it from the common people?

There are over a billion Muslims in the world. Most don't seem to show any anger in the public about anything, including the cartoons. They just go along their daily business like you and I. Surveys show that the vast majority of Muslims are opposed to the jihadist agenda. Look it up yourself. And some have even taken up arms against Al-Qaeda, especially in Iraq and the tribal region of Pakistan. Unfortunately Al-Qaeda is still pretty strong in Pakistan and many of the anti-Al-Qaeda tribal chiefs there have been assassinated.

If you go to some of those countries and make a direct insult on their religion, let me know and I'll get tweezers to pick up what is left of you.

I'm not saying there are none that are against the jihadist agenda. I'm saying that while there are some that are against the jihadist agenda, there are probably more that are for it. I don't consider you innocent if you aren't the one with the bomb vest or the AK-47. If you supply them with money, tacit support or even give them directions to a place, you are guilty.

Do you have anything to back up that allegation?

Do you have anything to back up yours? Mine is based on their lack of response when they see what OBL does in the name of islam and their response when their religion is insulted.

there are certainly unstable muslims...however, I found during my military career that 7.62 & 5.56 cures the unstability fairly quickly.....;)

US Court: Uighurs Classification Improper

Well, at the very least, we should be glad that the biggest reason they are still being held is that we don't want to send them back to the Chinese.
