Islamic world best left alone

http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/africa/11/26/sudan.bear/index.html why we should never, ever mess with this part of the world

By "this part of the world" do you mean Africa or the Middle East?

Or just anywhere one religion/religious leaders have a lot of influence/control?

Islamic theocracies or Islamic-styled dictatorships stretching from Africa to Asia. Anywhere where the church has power to dictate individual actions in a manner reminiscent of the Middle Ages.

Yeah, it would definitely suck to live somewhere where the church had the power to interfere in schools, outlaw/regulate medical procedures, and dictate lifestyle choices based on their beliefs................oh, wait! :roll:

Point well taken.

In the West bank et. al. the Muslims are fighting the Jews.

In Lebanon the Muslims are fighting the Christians.

In Northeast Africa the Muslims are fighting the Africans.

In Pakistan/India/Kashmir the Muslims are fighting the Hindus.

In Iraq the Muslims are fighting each other.

Is there a common thread here?

In Iraq, the Compassionate Conservative Christians lynched the dictator, and have no one left to fight. It takes two to tango, and the politics of the redneck south and the cowboy west have unlimited amounts of evil people to "get in on" with. Leaving people alone and living in peace just isn't profitable for some.

...omg, that was my first thought, too!

Abu Dhabi to Bolster Citigroup With $7.5 Billion Capital Infusion

Citigroup Inc., seeking to restore investor confidence amid massive losses due in credit markets and a lack of permanent leadership, is receiving a $7.5 billion capital infusion from the investment arm of the Abu Dhabi government.

The investment by the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority will help rebuild Citigroup's capital levels, which have been eroded by a credit crunch that began in the summer. Citigroup Chief Executive Officer and Chairman Charles Prince resigned earlier this month after the bank, which had already written off billions of dollars, said it was facing as much as $11 billion more in losses.


(The subprime mortgage meltdown is 'contained'....nothing to see here folks, just keep moving along.)

They were the only ones to show up to Bernanke's tea party. No one else invited had any gas money.

First line of the story:

"Sudan has arrested a British teacher for insulting faith and religion, the British Foreign Office said Monday."

If that were the case here, you'd all be arrested.

If the trillion in Iraq is survivable, do you see doomsday from the billions being written off here? The Arabs here are just covering their rears because they've got major prior investment.

Let me be first in line to insult the religious rajahs of the airwaves in America. They do evil right!

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil.

make airline seats of pigskin and only serve pork on airline flights plus make everyone eat a hotdog at the incoming customs stations at airports

Lovely idea! :roll:

Think the Jewish passengers might object though!

And the vegetarians.

And anyone who has a brain FTLOG!

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil.

Be careful of those who pay no taxes, live in the lap of luxury, profess to care for the poor, troll for money 24/7 on cable TV. Only in America can some criminals pose as religious figures.
