Dubya rewarded them with his moronic axis of evil speech. The lesson is don't trust America.

It seems like you hate the truth almost as much as you hate all Muslims.

6. you have 0 credibility when you claim i hate all muslims. I don't. So all your other

statements are suspect.

I suspect this is based on my criticism of radical islamists and some of the inflammatory beliefs in the faith (stoning women and homosexuals to death among other things). If this criticism means I hate muslims, what does your criticism of the US mean? You hate America.

And you seem to hate freedom, democracy. You seem to hate everything that is NOT Islamic.

The person who has had two bigoted posts hidden. Have you ever posted anything that's not an attack on all Muslims? I started a thread about tiger's corpses being found in a Buddhist Temple in Thailand. I notice you didn't comment on that.

14. You've still not said what's wrong with my original post on this thread.

You just post anti Muslim stories. You don't understand the differences in Islam or the nuances of politics or religion in the Islamic World. There was a very interesting thread on Wahhabism and Saudi Arabia, and I notice you steered well clear of that. Anything other than "All Muslims are bad," shoots right over your head.

for his purity when more ISIS and al Qaeda-affiliated suicide bombers turn their places of worship into abattoirs.

It's always nice to have the moral high ground, isn't it?

7. Well, that's pretty idiotic, considering ISIS is a bigger threat to them than we are.

I guess they prefer ISIS blowing up their people to accepting any help we might give.

Unfortunately, a leftover with power.

But he is a leftover from the days of Khomeni.

Propaganda, slogans, hatred and religious dictatorship.
