    Cool.

    And a really cool identity that must be.

    You first.
    You "laugh at the stupid things and stuff?" Reading the above sentence made me laugh.

    Another funny, and might I say, eloquently put statement (I'm still laughing!!!).

    You're correct. Muslims can convert to Christianity, assuming they do not mind losing their head in the process.

    Really? Whenever I read your posts I laugh so hard I puke.

    Leave Nirvana out of this man. You are way off base insulting the great Cobain! Where do you get off attacking the greatest grundge band in the history of, well... grundge? Shame on you, you stinky guyz.

    So stating a fact about Islam is not considered lying and insulting? If I mentioned the part about a dog touching you, or your cloths, would that be a lie too?

    I am all for any religion that condemns the beheading of a human being if for no other reason, than because they are different.

    I don't think it is about what religion is "best" or "true", or "first", or "wrong". It's just that most religions that fall under the cloud of Christianity seem to have a problem with cutting off heads. I could be wrong, but I'm thinking that just might have a little to do with it.

    What was your point again? I'm not sure I was listening.



    Was there more to this?

    Perhaps God is trying to tell you something.

    God speaks in mysterious ways :)

    By "beat them" he probably meant at like a foot race or something. Mr M is so misunderstood.

    Blog, I'd rather my head were in the sand than in another part of the anatomy, where, somehow both your head AND heart seem to have conjoined to, uh, help block out the sun (as if it needed help)

    :)

    One thing you dont seem to understand is that God loved Ishmael too.

    Before I condemn an entire people for the acts of a very few I'd be forced to remember the lessons of history.

    And the ugly folks that also luxuriated in the simple-headed emotions you demonstrate by your words.

    IN Christ

    You gotta love this guy.

    CENTENNIAL, Colorado (AP) -- A man convicted of sexually assaulting an Indonesian housekeeper and keeping her virtually as a slave was sentenced Thursday to 27 years to life in prison.

    Homaidan Al-Turki, 37, denied the charges and blamed anti-Muslim prejudice for the case against him.

    Al-Turki, a citizen of Saudi Arabia who lived in the Denver suburb of Aurora, was convicted June 30 of unlawful sexual contact by use of force, theft and extortion, all felonies, and misdemeanor counts of false imprisonment and conspiracy to commit false imprisonment.

    Prosecutors and FBI agents said Al-Turki and his wife, Sarah Khonaizan, brought the now 24-year-old woman to Colorado to care for their five children and to cook and clean for the family. An affidavit said she spent four years with the family, sleeping on a mattress on the basement floor and getting paid less than $2 a day.

    Al-Turki said he treated the woman the same way any observant Muslim family would treat a daughter.

    "Your honor, I am not here to apologize, for I cannot apologize for things I did not do and for crimes I did not commit," he told the judge. "The state has criminalized these basic Muslim behaviors. Attacking traditional Muslim behaviors was the focal point of the prosecution."

    The saddest thing is that he is probably right. For these guys treat muslim women like so much dirt.

    Emotionally they are like two thousand years behind the times, if not more.

    So sad... to have to follow such a damnable lie to the grave.

    IN Christ

    What is funny is how they say the west is dirty, but when you go to major European cities, the dirtiest elements are the Muslims.

    The Quran took 23 years to complete. Had the verses of the Quran (which contains 6,666 verses)written by the Prophet, he would have needed a number of drafts and the work would have needed editing, updating, etc. But this did not happen, yet the information is consistent throughout the Quran. The verses were taken down as dictated by the Prophet only once and no redrafting, editing or updating took place after that.


    so how could the author manage that?

    BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) -- At least 22 bombs exploded almost simultaneously Thursday inside commercial banks in southern Thailand, killing two people and injuring 28 in a region bloodied by a Muslim insurgency, police said.

    The homemade bombs, which were triggered by mobile phone signals, were placed in garbage bins, at newspaper stands and near seats where customers wait for service in the banks in Yala province, said Maj. Gen. Paithoon Choochaiya who heads the provincial force.

    Authorities said that two suspects had been seized.

    A review of close-circuit video showed that some of the explosives were planted by women, police said.

    The army chief in the south, Lt. Gen. Ongkorn Thongprasom, said some of the apparently small devices were hidden in women's handbags or secreted into thick books carried by teenagers dressed in student uniforms.

    "We received some intelligence reports, but we did not anticipate it would happen inside banks, especially on the last day of the month. We don't believe they are that cruel," Ongkorn said. Banks are normally crowded at month's end with customers withdrawing funds from their deposited salary checks.

    The bombs were set off in 22 of Yala's 30 bank branches, both in the provincial capital and outlying districts.

    The Islamic Bank of Thailand was among those attacked, according to reporters at the scene. The bank, set up in five southern provinces by the government, was created according to Muslim law, which prohibits interest.

    "It's scary. We can't estimate the damage yet," said Pridiyathorn Devakula, head of the Bank of Thailand, the country's central bank, in Bangkok.

    Doh.... I've officially been Owned.

    Freakin' Fridays!!! Hey, I just got over the flu if that helps ;)

    Should have said...

    I guess London is not a "major European city" then? The 5 times I've been there it is almost impossible to not notice a Muslim presence. Never felt threatened by it, and never thought anything of it. They seemed about as common place as the high Mexican popluation in Wisconsin.

    Reminds me of a Robin Williams bit I saw some time ago:

    "French don't have a baseball team.
    If they did, they would only have left field and no one would be safe."
