I didn't say a word to you about Shia or Sunnis in my message. That was why I asked what sect you'd be likely to join, in fact. Because I know there are more than the two warring sects we hear about the most. Sufi muslims are the so-called "mystic" Muslims who believe fervently in the divine love of Allah and in helping and loving others. Which sounds an awful lot like more of your delusional claptrap, now that I think about your choosing to identify yourself with that category. Not that you're becoming Muslim, of course.

By the way, you clearly have no idea who I am if you're lumping me in the category "neocon." I'm the most left-leaning liberal member here, as everyone but you seems to know. Proving, once again, that you've never read a word anyone else has said. Only your own voluminous noise and insanity.

If we all chip in and buy you a ticket to Paris, will you promise to stay over there and never come back? And never come online again, either?
Yo, I never said I was becoming Muslim. I don't know much about the Muslim religion. I had a course on it though. I know a little bit. It's very similar to what it would be like if ancient Judaism was still in practice in Jerusalem. It's really a remarkable sight. These people were the original inhabitants of that land...and now these people can have the last great monotheistic religion. It's cool that the Jews came there, but I just hate how both sides have hatred for one another. In the Bible and Koran, they are brothers.

You people fail to realize something, and especially Bong. Religion has its purpose, yet in the end it corrupts. Theology is my major in college so I know. Look at the history of "Christian" Europe. The people who were in charge certainly did not believe in Christianity or the Church, but merely acted as they did. It was the common people who really believed..well most of them. Hell probably a lot of Popes and priests thought Catholicism was full of shit too. Why do you think there is so much corruption and child molestation in the Catholic Church?

Radical Islam is no different either. It has its share of bloody history. However, please realize that there are VERY few people who would actually adhere to this.

Dude, you give the impression that all Muslim people actually practice their religion. Sorry, but you're wrong. If that was the case, then there would be no murder amongst themselves because the Koran.

It's like this. Remember taking a high school or college course that you didn't really hate, but you just did a little work and passed with an A. You were just there really. That it was the Koran and Bible are like. We read all these stories and laws and shit....but then there are the very few verses that say "love your neighbor" and to "be compassionate to all" or "Allah loves the ones who shows compassion". Then the rest of the text is filled with somewhat decent stuff and bullshit stories. But just remember the key verses. It is like Yin/Yang....holy books are full of shit, but then there is ultimate truth in them waiting to be interpreted the right way. Why do you think thats way "kill the infidel", or "kill any man who has sex with another man. it is an abomination". Gotta take the right from wrong.

I hope this helps ya guys out.

But my point is that most Muslims are not fundamentalists and will not blow themselves up. They want to be happy and live in peace as we mostly do.

9.11 was an inside job and part of the plan is making Muslims into the Devil incarnate with many false or exaggerated stories about it. Did you know that any news from Iraq is processed before put out to Amerika???
