Deleted and censored expletives, Rezavan, please don't torture me like that! Asking a question like that and forbidding comments! Your going to send me trolling religious websites until I get my thoughts outta me head! Ouch! :(
So let me answer pithy before I troll again. My "religion" is...
Reading this thread was a delightful surprise. One of my first experiences of this forum was a thread where nearly every post seemed to defend the blasphemy law and the assassin. Here, as I seem to recall someone saying, (I paraphrase freely) "if even reasonable people like us can get toucht...
Damn good thing you didn't go to school in Texas. You'd have both been beaten by Christer jocks. I haven't said one critical think about the Pakistani school system on this delightful thread, because I live under the Lone Star Flag, and people who live in White Houses shouldn't throw drones...
Appreciate the comment and irony, but...Frickin Calvinist crap! Prosperity gospel is sanctified greed. Did not know Islam mistook wealth for proof of virtue! Thought the bribes all came in the sky when you die, as St Woody Guthrie sang.
Prosperity aside, science delivers miracles. Some of...
I want to say I have been very impressed with the responses on this thread, and this comment is friendly. To answer your question, Muse, I'll ask another. "Cui bono?" "Who profits?" Answer, the Wahhabbis and the Saudi Ministry of Tourism.

Sure they had a war. It was against the Germans and their allies for control of Europe.
The thing is, anglophones are one people. The fact they are split among half a dozen "nations" just shows not even the British like the British. My grandfather was Scots. I never even heard the Irish...

by Nicholas Noe
For a regime which has, as ICG put it, really inflicted so many wounds on itself (not to mention Syrians) . . . this strikes me as a very effective strategy going forward...

6th decade. My Dad named me for Twain, his favorite author, Shakespeare, his favorite, playwright, TS Eliot, his favorite poet, and "Tam O'Shatner" His favorite poem. I still haven't quite forgiven him ;)

Sun Tzu? Machiavelli on steroids ;)
Belligerent Pacifists, I think that was the reaction to having just read the thread "The Caliphate is coming back ha ha" No offense intended.
No, wait, I remember. I saw a general administrative warning this morning that said mentioing the sacred...
