It's about a race between the recruitment of angry young men as suicide bombers, versus the liberation of frightened young women as full-fledged citizens in their societies.

How about this comment from the poll...

Islam is not a threat to world peace, Islam is a solution to world problems: http://www.islamdenouncesterrorism.com
-Ahmad

Did you catch the name of the poster? Duh!

Glad we're on the side of these beautiful young women. : )

They ain't nothing but a bunch of radicals, with no common scents.

Yes each one has their own unique fragrance.

Done. I only wish I had an option to answer the "why?" question. They probably don't have room to list all the terrorist attacks in the name of islam by muslims since 1972 though.

"The hardest thing for Westerners to understand is not that a war with militant Islam is underway but that the nature of the enemy's ultimate goal. That goal is to apply the Islamic law (the Shari‘a) globally. In U.S. terms, it intends to replace the Constitution with the Qur'an." --Daniel Pipes

WAKE UP AMERICA	"Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faiths, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth." -Omar Ahmad, Co-founder of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, aka CAIR President and CEO of Silicon Expert Technologies A Palestinian who grew up in a refugee camp in Jordan.

Yeah last night at about 8pm CST I was on there and kept refreshing it every few seconds. It would jump by about 25 or so only for the NO answer. Someone was cramming it and pretty quickly.

I also noticed that the comments posted were still the Freeper posts so whoever it was only voted.. didn't add comments. I just checked today's poll.. What kind of Oatmeal cookie do you like? They decided to lighten it up! Stupid!

Yeah, that "news" site is a front for any and all liberal things. I've actually had some cordial email exchanges with their senior mgmt., but they usually don't appreciate it when I call them on their b.s. I'm certain someone on their staff was stuffing the 'no' votes, since they are running a 4-part series on loviedovie islam this week.
