It is interesting that the "anti-theocrats" at the EU that repudiate anything that deals with "God" accepted Greece as part of the EU a priori. (Greece is a country that lives by theocracy in a "secular" world). Ah-- wouldn't want a Mediterranean country like Greece with its "rational" and "philosophic" history to be outside the realm of European history, since "rationalism" and "logic" just "had" to develop in Europe. Why hasn't the same case been made for say, Muslim Spain, or, more recently, Turkey?

Hazam, I take you very seriously and would never place you in the pages of irrational or racist in any book. To return the favor, however, with your own dab of racism saddens me and does nothing to buttress your intelligence in any coherent way.

Ibn,
Listen man, I am not a racist regardless of people on this foum think of me. I have many Muslim friends in school and at work (although they are not as diehard as some of the members on this forum). When I see people saying how they support the operations of 9/11, and how "someone should offer an alternative to beheadings", it really sickens me. A lot of innocent people died that day, and I don't think it's asking too much to pay them a little respect and not supporting what Bin Laden did to us. Believe me, I do sympathize with the families of the 10,000 who have died because our unilateral invasion of Iraq. But I honestly feel that, in time, the future generations of Iraqis will be freer people that are granted the basic human rights that should be afforded to each human being.
Let's just hope that those 10,000+ died for a better tomorrow.

Assalamualaikum,
dear Hazams,
i understand your feeling about 9/11 and how much you hate Ben Laden. so i wish you could understand how much other peoples hate Bush.
you hate Ben Laden because you said he attacked your country. Then why blaming Iraqis who hated Bush? Why blaming Afghans? And please don't judge the freedom of Iraqis based on the media reports.
please take this in consideration....
Wallahu'alam...

When I face bigotry in the subjects that I read I briskly ignore them. There is no need to return the hand by becoming just as senseless as the "theofons" of a forum dialogue. Let the idiotic re-invent the wheel ever more for all we care. As long as one still has his (her) sense (whatever that might mean) that's really all that counts, not what people think or believe.

Assalamulaykum....
i've a lecturer from Iraq. He went bak after the US invasion and said that the situation in Iraq is far worst than the time of Saddam. Now that's what i call a first hand story.. right from an Iraqi's mouth. Not from Bush's supporter who think that they sympathize Iraqis...
