    Tired of playing with your GI Joes and Transformers? Well, get ready for the newest line of action figures to include a talking Jesus, a bearded Moses and a muscle-bound figure of Goliath. They will be sold in US Wal-Marts, sorry for those overseas who will miss out.

    I wonder if they will also offer Islamic action figures? Probably not ;)

    Since I don't believe in Islam or Chrisianity I doesn't matter much to me, but I thought it would be nice for the Christian kids to have some Muslim action figures so they could fight each other, or vice versa.

    I'm sure Bush would love to have some Muslim action figures to play with along with the Christian ones.

    That's odd. One of the great exceptions I take with Bush (actually, lately, there are quite a few) is his insistence that islam is a religion of peace.

    Really? I didn't know you had "quite a few" exceptions you take with Bush. It would be interesting to hear what those are. I don't recall you saying anything negative about Bush since I have been on these forums, but I could have easily have missed the posts.

    I've mentioned quite a few over the years. Of course, the only real mention of Bush these days is when AGS goes on his delusional tirades.

    Let's see, what do I take exception with Bush over?

    The obvious one above. Though in a way, I understand why he says it.

    Securing our borders. This has been a HUGE sore spot with me.

    Not fighting back in the least bit with all the attacks from liberals. He simply refuses to counter anything. Although recently, he has...to a degree.

    Giving money to hamas for the palestinians. This is absurd! Their mission is to kill Jews, yet in his infinite wisdom, he gives them aid.

    Don't even get me started with giving the Saudi arms deal. I heard about this and simply could not believe it.

    I'd have to go back to find other issues. Having said that though, I also believe that blind hatred of a man (I don't hate him, but I'm seriously starting to wonder about him) doesn't justify lying. I think that's the problem some have here. The hatred overrides their sensory and they believe lying is justified by the hatred.

    Apologies for the slow response, was on the phone with zman.

    No worries, thanks for the response. I agree with a many of your points on his short commings.

    Got any links for this? I am always interesting in hearing any information about the US and Saudi Arabia. It is a confusing relationship with many layers.

    Wal-Mart is a ridiculous company. I was a manager there many years ago, they brought in controversial products from time to time. There introducing these toys in only about 400 stores, so hopefully the response is fast and negative.

    As far as Muslim toys go: why not? If you're going to poison your children with one crazy religion, you may as well poison them with the other.

    Islam is as much a religion of peace as Christianity is. Unfortunately, that means that they are both religions of hatred.
