    If the choice is between wisdom and courage I will side with wisdom.
    Moral courage. Not that it matters.
    That is the specific form of courage I was talking about. Your position here demonstrates a lack of it.


    I am. And you fail. You are simple. There will always be a place for simple people.
    I am not Ethereal. Save your bull$#@! posturing for him. I am not going to comment on the rest of your post. It is not worth the time.

    Oh, it happens pretty regularly. You should get out more.

    It's the part about Muslims taking their religion seriously, that's the problem.
    Maybe if you took yours more seriously, you wouldn't be so bigoted.

    Thanks man. I really felt bad for the man and his wife having to flee the scene. A married couple so happy and proud to have their new house closing doing the final walk through and having some jackass ruin the whole thing and instilling fear in them makes me sick. In that case, if it was me, I dont know if I could have remained non-violent.

    Lol... I seriously doubt that, people aren't generally suspicious of or, worried about the Catholic family who just moved in next door.

    I don't currently practice any organized religion, haven't for a very long time, maybe, if you didn't take yours so seriously, you'd be better able to actually see the truth about certain people and not just repeat what your religion brainwashes you to believe.

    You implied I lack physical courage. If true a solution may always be found.

    Smart, rational people aren't generally worried about the Muslim, Hindu, Jewish or Protestant family that moves in next door, either.

    I don't currently practice any organized religion, haven't for a very long time, maybe, if you didn't take yours so seriously, you'd be better able to actually see the truth about certain people and not just repeat what your religion brainwashes you to believe.[/QUOTE]

    If you paid attention to discussions in the forum, you would know that I have stated many times that I am as nonreligious as it is possible to be. Unlike you however, I recognize that religion plays an important role in the lives of many people and if it helps them find peace and guidance through difficult times, I have no problem with it.

    You don't really know anything about Islam or its followers, do you? You know about a small minority of extremely violent people who would be just as violent if they Catholic or Protestant or Jewish. For them, religion is an excuse for violence, not the cause. Muslims on the whole, are pretty much like you, except not as fearful and hateful. They love their children as I am sure you do and wish for them a better life than the one they have. They are not that different from anyone else.

    When I lived and worked in the Middle East, my house was attacked one day with mortar fire by Muslim extremists. They did some damage, there was a lot of smoke and dust in the air, but everyone was accounted for... except my dog. She was a stray that I found on the streets. She was half starved and limping badly when I found her. I took her to the Vet at the British Embassy and he patched up and vaccinated her and I took her back to my compound. Dogs are proscribed animals in Islam. They are considered "unclean". My senior house guard was extremely uncomfortable around her, but he tolerated her and she tolerated him. He would never touch her though and if she got too close to him, he would back away in a hurry.

    Anyway, I was moving through the smoke and dust, trying to assess the damage and make sure we were secure enough to defend against a ground attack if one followed the shelling (it didn't), when I saw Saleh walking toward me carrying something. It was my dog. She had been killed in the attack, the only casualty. Saleh found her in the rubble and and picked her up and brought her to me. That act of humanity was just one of many I witnessed by followers of Islam. I also witnessed acts of great barbarity, even things that would have made the Crusaders or the IRA flinch. I learned firsthand that you can't lump all Muslims together any more than you can members of any other religion.

    I hope someday you learn that for yourself. You'll never do it though unless you take off your blinders.

    Which western country has been improved by the hordes of Muslims who have come to occupy their nations?

    Italy?
    Germany?
    Spain?
    France?
    Great Britain?
    Sweden?
    Any other?

    You need to take off your blinders.

    The verdict was correct and he better have his head on a swivel in prison because Muslims are well represented in some institutions.
