Such are still reachable.
The trouble is identifying them accurately. You might think you got one, and next thing you know he's looking at your neck the way you look at a standing rib roast.
The day may come when we will not have time to sift them. That will be a long, hard, sad day even for those who today might wish for it.
Keep your powder dry, and your iron out of sight.

Jordan -- Christian until Muslim invasions Egypt -- Christian until Muslim invasions Iraq -- Mainly Christian until Muslim invasions Afghanistan -- mostly Buddhist and Hindu until Muslim invasions Turkey -- Christian until Muslin invasions Tunisia -- Christian until Muslim invasions...not to mention others, such as Sudan, ALgeria, Morocco, southern Spain (where it took 800 years to throw the Muslimes out), Albania, and on and on and on and on
Islam is the work of the Devil, and the sooner it is eradicated from the face of the earth (by its captives having freedom of conscience, not by warfare) the better for the human race.
Doncha know, Kenya has been enormously helped along by the less-primitive arabs.
I really screwed up that tagline. Trying again:
Since Obama says we are not at war with Islam, I wonder if he mentioned that Islam is at war with everyone who isn’t Islam? If it wasn’t for Islam, the world would be mostly at peace.
Maybe that punk obamma isn’t but I sure am
yes... it is right in Herodotus... Book 1, Chapter 3, lines 14 on... and this is after Her. refers to any number of incidents where the folks on THAT side of the Aegean (oi barbaroi) decided upon the idea of them versus the folks on THIS side of the Aegean... “and ever since then, they have regarded anything Greek to be their inveterate enemy. The Persians further consider theirs all of Asia and the barbaroi peoples living therein, and hold Europe and anything Greek to be categorically separate from them.”
This Herodotus wrote around 440 B.C.
Thus it would seem there is, as an integral component to the cultural blueprint inherring in many of the people on that side of the Aegean, and also through some of the newer codifications of old cultural principles, a Hatfield-and-McCoy kind of idea about the folks on this side of the Aegean (who encompass a lot more geography now than at Herodotus’ time), except the enmity is not mutual, like the Hatfields and McCoys. We of western civilization do not have, as part of our cultutal DNA, an identified foe going back since time immemorial, as a sort of dynamic lending a sort of cultural identity - one of the mainstays or main props to our overall cultural blueprint.
Herodotus conjectures, and I think it is a good conjecture, that this one sided enmity stemming from THAT side of the Aegean, may have begun with the Trojan War. In any event, this has been a geopolitical factor for a lot longer than the schools perhaps teach.
and this :
you are correct.
That needs to have it’s own thread....
E#xactly right,...now if they would just rewrite their Holy Book...GEERT WILDERS says the book is a PROBLEM and should be outlawed...
