Hysteria over Muslims spreads all over America!

I know this is a tangent, but gadritan makes me wonder how well the US would do if we just blew up the south.

[Gadritan]

In my personal opinion, and this may be biased as I've lived here for the past 20yrs or so, we would be WAY THE FUCK BETTER OFF! >.>

Even having a relatively heavy southern accent myself, I still can't understand half the people here. The problem is, those I do understand...I wish I couldn't.

Its stories like that that make me happy I don't have to deal with this sort of thing in Biology classes (even in the South).

I do remember a lot of people looking very uncomfortable when some guy started reading the Koran out loud in my Religious Studies class though.

[Zoolander]

I was curious so I checked it out, and currently my school's Religious Studies department has no classes on Islam for this fall or for next spring. They have Hinduism, Mormonism, like 5 Christianity classes, Catholicism, Buddhism, 3 Judaism classes...not one class on Islam. I'm sure it pops up in World Religions, but come the fuck on...its the second biggest faith in the world, has like 100 times more members than Judaism and Mormonism and there arent any classes on it?

Someone probably already beat me to it, but this seems appropriate.

I think Christianity is the scariest religion. At least Satanists make some cool music.

[Eratosthenes]

Hey, now. Don't be forgetting about Bach.

Hey, now. Don't be forgetting about Bach.

You're right, Bach was pretty boss. And Megadeth!

Good grief, lol.

Since when is communism a communicable disease? I didn't know that merely being exposed to ideas made you an ardent adherent of them.

[Zee]

Those sound like the words of a commie

l.o.l.

[Max™]

Well... I think religion is best described as a mindvirus, but communism... nah.

[Cadsuane]

Who mentioned McCarthyism before? Must be nice being proven right.

[BerenTebogo]

We must launch a senate hearing to look into this.

[Gadritan]

We must launch a senate hearing to look into this.

Are you fucking crazy? This isn't baseball. They don't have time for this sort of nonsense.

Newsweek is reporting that the Taliban is using controversy over the “Ground Zero mosque” to raise money and recruit new fighters, both inside and outside Afghanistan.
It’s proved such an effective tool that “it now heads the list of talking points in Taliban meetings with fighters, villagers, and potential recruits,” the weekly says.
“By preventing this mosque from being built, America is doing us a big favor,” a Taliban operative named Zabihullah told the weekly. “It’s providing us with more recruits, donations, and popular support.”
Zabihullah -- who, like many Afghans, uses only a single name -- said the emotional rhetoric against the project has prompted “the heaviest e-mail response ever on jihadi Web sites, far bigger even than France’s ban on burqas earlier this year,” Newsweek reported.
“We received many e-mails asking for advice on how Muslims should react to the hijab ban, and how they can punish France,” Zabihullah was quoted as saying.
But the mosque issue is generating even more hatred toward the United States, he claimed: “We are getting even more messages of support and solidarity on the mosque issue and questions about how to fight back against this outrage.”
Former FBI counterterrorism specialist Ali Soufan sounded the same theme here two weeks ago.
“When demagogues appear to be equating Islam with terrorism, it's making young Muslims unsure about their place in the country,” he wrote in a Wall Street Journal essay. “It bolsters the message that radicalizers are selling: that the war is against Islam, and Muslims are not welcome in America.”
But some other prominent Arabs in the West think the mosque plans are deliberately designed to incite harsh rhetoric against Muslims, to the benefit of al-Qaeda and other Islamist radicals.
"We Muslims know the Ground Zero mosque is meant to be a deliberate provocation," Raheel Raza and Tarek Fatah wote recently in the Ottawa Citizen.
Raza is author of “Their Jihad ... Not my Jihad,” and Fatah is author of “The Jew Is Not My Enemy.” Both are Canadian residents and sit on the board of the Muslim Canadian Congress.
