Ultraconservative Muslims dominate Egypt protest

No Sofiyya, this is where we were yesterday. You are pissed off about people harping on about "religions of peace" when Al Qaeda blows up a market or Hamas shoots off a few rockets. You think that gives you the right to behave in a bigoted way towards other religions to make a point, using the atrocity of the week to back it up. I'm afraid it does not. To me it makes you a bit of an extremist in your own right. As I said.

To the contrary, my behavior in contradiction of your admonishments has shown you to be paranoid and shrill. Compare and contrast is an acceptable way to discuss any subject. It's done in college everyday, and doing it here does not make one a bigot, especially when history backs them up.

Most Christian pastors I have encountered are uneducated (minimal college education).

Is this the same with "imams"?

Depends. Did you download your iMams from the iTunes App Store?

Paranoid and shrill? I don't believe I sound so - but since you can read minds and since you have said so, ergo you must be right

You aren't comparing and contrasting like for like though are you - you're cherry picking the similarities between one lone wolf extremist in one country and a collection of various paramilitary groups in many others in an extremely general way - with a view to behaving in the same manner as the bigots you object to.

And what precisely does history back up here? That religions have a history of violence? Say it isn't so. We've covered that territory, in so far as you've explored it (which is to do no more than make a general statement with no tacit connection to anything else you've said).

We're not doing this again today. I will continue to post my opinion and you will continue to suffer if you choose to read them.

Fantastic!

Fantastic!

Oh dear God, don't tell me he has a radio show! Stewarts predictable or should I say Stewart's writers are predictable.

[_Simpson_ 250]

As expected, I bet you didn't even listen to the content of the video, yet felt compelled to comment. Sad really.

Why did you edit your post and take out the insult?

I listened to about half of it and it was exactly what I expected from Stewart. I dont think you even know what my issue is with Stewart and yet here you are with something to say.

Thank you, Kathryn.

Now, come on, Simpson. You gotta admit that video is spot on. It's funny, too. I'm a conservative and I can admit that. Some of us have a sense of humor.

I gave Rob a +1 for it.
