Why does Shafique refer to everyone who doesn't agree with him as a 'loon'. It's a description he uses alot. I'm afraid there's no reasoning with a religious fanatic. The wheel's still spinning but the hamster's dead. I happen to think of Shafique to be a very reasonable man. But when it comes to h...
You should in fact make the distinction that I do not have an opposing religion and I happen to comment on a whole range of global issues, with one just happening to be here on this forum. Thats a critic. Perhaps with a hard bite...
Get a life mate. My post in repsonse to BM wasn't directed towards you, it was in general. Contary to your belief my life does not revolve around you. But since your desperate about my opinion about you, the here go. Yes your a critic and a very strong one at that about Islam, but really don't know...
You're rambling, young one. The Park 51 loons (of whom less than 1000 turned up on 9/11) - are protesting against the constitutional rights of other Americans. No one disputes this (not even 'mommy' and Spencer) - but are protesting that their feelings may be hurt. It must take a monumental dose of...
I hope you're right, but I'd be damned to ignore such high level research at my own peril...
I'm reading the entire report and if your really interested in these matters, I recommend you read it also for basic awareness. Not everything you read is propaganda.
It is clear to me, that you DD aren't exactly familiar with American politics. The TEA party has got nothing to do with 'a war against Jihad', other than 'bringing the troops home' with regards to foreign policy. Most of all, they are fiscal conservatives and supporting a great cause against big gov...
I will look into it a bit later on. Thnx. update: Just read the piece. 8 percent in scenario 1. 12 percent in scenario 2. 24 percent in scenario 3 in 2050. I stand corrected. This 2025 (15 years out) figure I quoted, was mentioned on TV recently. Apparently you can't trust anyone at face value these...
The teaparty consists of numerous people from different backgrounds who initially where rallied by voices like Ron Paul, but since have been associated with the Glen Becks and Sarah Palins who speech at those rallies. After all, the Republican party was always the most fiscal conservative and with t...
Your issue is the fear mongering. I agree, it sucks. If you want change, you need to support the right candidates and vote accordingly (if you can vote). Some people in the US want to impose democracy on others (neocons at the GOP, some democrats), alot of independants don't. You'll find those indep...
Interesting comparison of Sharia vs. the US Constitution. http://doveworld.org/blog/the-united-states-constitution-vs-sharia-law-no-contest-ban-sharia-in-america Clearly you cannot have one set of laws for one group, and another set of laws or another group. If Sharia was ever undertaken as "l...
I'm a fierce freedom fighter. Realistic and Libertarian. You moderates just make me want to look radical. :D :wink: You forgot to mention: .............and can be damn stubborn!!!! :wink: True, true but don't you forget to mention that I'm excellent in bed also! At least, thats what they tell me......
Is that ignorance you're showing, or are you hiding behind your new Burqa, Shafique? :D You still haven't agreed on violence being a totalitarian outcry. Please condemn the violence. We need the support of the muslim community desperately in the West. You wouldn't want our relationship to fracture, ...
Hold on Tommy J. I got another one coming. Call it depression or oppression, one way or the other: Madam Liberty just left the building completely. After all, the private sector does things so much more effective than any government bureacracy ever could... http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/15/world/mi...

When the revolutions in the MENA region spread to Bahrain recently, the UAE, but Saudi Arabia (Eastern part, with the oil, is largely Shia populated) in particular became sh!t scared that the people in their countries would revolt also. I've seen the first Saudi protests in the street already. I don...
Stats indeed don't lie, if gathered correctly. More importantly, its the way to interpret the stats that really makes the difference, because the visualization of datapoints in graphs can be altered to your convenience. An example would be Keynesian economists, who like to point out that the New Dea...
