DETROIT, April 7 (UPI) -- A survey of practicing Muslims in Detroit, home to numerous U.S. Muslims, found that 61 percent think of the United States as immoral.

Asked whether "America is an immoral society," 26 percent of mosque goers "strongly agree" and 35 "somewhat agree," the Washington Times reported Wednesday.

I'd hazard a guess that an even worse score would be bestowed by American evangelical Christians and religious Jews. It's not like the wickedness in America is any great secret.

It might be better if they leave.

Why are these people here? Neo-CONS just open our borders to terrorists and anyone and then send our troops to die in some hellhole dirtbox called Iraq?

What a bunch of morons!

[little jeremiah]

Yeah, but social conservatives wouldn't vote for Gore. These Muslims who think America is immoral also don't like Bush.

If they don't like the US so much, why in heck are they here? If it's so much more moral in the Muslim countries they came from, why did they leave?

What is it with you and neocons on every thread? Can't you sing more than one note?

Try to come up with an original thought once in a while.

[Greg Weston]

What's more important right now than the neo-CON foolishness that is costing brave Americans to lose their lives everyday?

[Robert_Paulson2]

broken record Greg.

[Travis McGee]

It must be wonderful to be so simple.

When evangelicals think of immorality in the United States, they think of the proliferation of porno on the internet and vulgar language on primetime TV.

When Muslims think of immorality in the United States, they think of people owning dogs as pets (which is outlawed in Iran) or women walking around in shorts or even driving cars (which is outlawed in Saudi Arabia).

Sure, I picked two extremes just to illustrate that there's a wide gulf between what Muslims consider immoral and what many normal people consider immoral.

And keeping your yap zipped shut while your fellow moslems go postal all over the world is what, moral?

Any of these peckerheads that wants to go home to a dirt sandwich should let us know ASAP.

Arabic calendar, well-known to these "moral" Muslims, which predicted the 911 Atrocities months in advance.

One day a scorpion arrived at the bank of a river he wanted to cross, but there was no bridge. He asked a frog that was sitting nearby if he would take him across the river on his back. The frog refused and said, "I will not, because you will sting me."

The scorpion replied, "It would be foolish for me to sting you because then we would both drown."

The frog saw the logic in the scorpion's words, and agreed to carry the the scorpion across. But when they were halfway across the river the scorpion stung the frog. The stunned frog asked, "Why did you sting me? Now we will both die!"

The scorpion replied, "Because I'm a scorpion... and that's what scorpions do."

It's simply the most important issue of the times. If you don't care much about it that's your problem.

Two nights before the 9-11 mass murders, the hijackers were getting drunk at a strip joint.

Nuff said.

I guess that doesn't include the ones running liquor stores and whore motels.

[Greg Weston]

I know. Instead of protecting our borders neo-CONS were concerned with playing cop all over world while the scum waltz right in. Sickening.

I think we are an immoral society.....

But then who are they to speak?

men from the middle east talk a good line, mostly because they don't consider anything that they do to be immoral...not maiming or killing women, not sending kids to blow up things and people, not dragging dead people thru the streets.....

[Travis McGee]

I agree, the war on Islamic terror, being the world war we are in, is the most important issue of the times. I certainly do care about it.

Unlike you however, I realize that the "Ostrich Defense" is a losing strategy in this world war.
