Maybe you should say, "I'm surprised they could find three minutes of video at an anime convention that the Christians wouldn't find too offensive for air."

Really either statement is close minded and outright stupid to say. Most self proclaimed 'Christian' are as bad if not worse than most Muslims in the US. I myself and Christian, yet am sickened by the majority of people who use that name in this country.

It's not the Muslims in the US going around calling for Harry Potter to be banned. Hell, I even read about one idiot in Texas offended by language in Fahrenheit 451 and wanted it banned from his daughter's school! Plus Full Metal Alchemist was stupidly censored by Viz in fear of offending stupid Christians.

So, hey, take Jesus's own advise and don't be casting any stones and other religions. Check your own eye first for a log before complaining about a splinter in someone else's.

It's too bad that Al Jazeera is funded by terrorists. Interesting video, though.

The problem is that the minority of 1.2 billion is still a lot. 1%=1.2 million people, 10%= 120 million, 30%=360 million.

To bad Al Jazeera doesn't give up who has been giving them the dozens and dozens of beheading videos.

But I feel for sain Muslims though. Just as there millions of radicals, there are even more millions of decent law-abiding people. Many of whom are afraid to speak out against such acts for fear of retribution against there families. I know I would be, especially if I was living in a region where such radical thought is law.

Didn't you find something wrong?

And where do you get your terrorist statistics from?

What did I make a math error?

1,200,000,000*0.01 = 1,200,000
1,200,000,000*0.10 = 120,000,000
1,200,000,000*0.30 = 360,000,000

Considering Iraq's population in 25 million I highly doubt that.

And what does bridges, sex education, feaking global warming(?), have anything to do with what I said.

I would like to see a breakdown of deaths due to insurgents, and death due to direct contact with the allied forces though.

As far as religious nuts, I assume you mean congress. But I don't ever recall them getting marching orders from the Vatican or the Pope handing down laws that must be obeyed. Do you want me to name the countries that do have such systems?

Yes, because other than our little gun-fights, the Iraqis can tough it out with lack of running water and electricity and their exposure to depleted uranium.

Bush thinks he's as powerful as The Pope, so what's your point?

No I was talking about Ak bullets and kitchen knives.

Actually, any US president is more powerful than the Pope regardless of his or her last name.

So banning evolution and sex education, denying global warming, gutting funding for bridges and levees, refusing to provide an anti-ovarian cancer vaccine on the fear that it will "encourage" teen promiscuity, and letting anyone have a gun isn't radical?

So is the School of the Americas. What's your point?
