I believe you're referring to Muslim "extremists".

There's a distinct difference.

Traditional Muslims are just as
angry about the whole thing as we are.
I need to issue a correction. I misquoted the poll. It's isn't 60% of the Muslim world... it's 60% of U.S. Muslims that believe that no Muslims were involved in 9/11.

Most of them are not part of that consipiracy theory I mentioned about the Jews doing it. That's a middle-eastern country thing.
U.S. Muslims, like congressman Keith Ellison, have joined the Rosie O'Donnel camp in thinking it was an inside job.

bandwagon with the rest of 'em. :roll:

There is a lot of pain in the world...but if one asks the question of who was to gain from 9/11 or the wars in the gulf. I'd say 9/11 was a brilliant plan to spike the oil prices so the King can build his glorious city of Dubia and who else has oil? Where did the pilots come from... hmmmm
root of all evil money is the underlying factor. 1.5 trillion dollars have been pumped into this area in the last 5 years... so everytime we go to the gas pump that's blood running all our cars.

The only way to get back - and the ONLY way...Is to simply
CUT BACK ON DEMAND. Stop runnin' that gas-sucking SUV...
Carpool....Get a smaller car.... Do all your errands in one trip...
Take the bus/subway/train. Whatever.

Bottom Line: REDUCE DEMAND. The rest will follow.

CONSUMERS will prevail if we all do what it takes to cut back
demand on oil. We did it in the 70's (The oil embargo - remember
THAT folks? Even-odd license plate days just for gasoline?).

We can do it now TOO. BIG OIL know it's true.

I hope they see this. Profit-taking tyrants. :P

Came across this WW2 poster online yesterday.

What a great message for today. There's nothing al-Qaida enjoys more than seeing us fight amongst ourselves.

But we would never do that, would we? United we stand and all that?

Jury's still out on that one Elf...

As you know, this is the ME ME ME generation, and it's "all about ME."

Yeah, somebody else'll do it. :roll:

United I STAND. I'm with anyone else who stands too.

Hey, do we need a permit these days to STAND? :shock: :roll:

We have fought amongst ourselves before...BLOODILY!
If we have a second civil war it will be because of illegal immigration. At least, in the first civil war it was divided between north and south. This time the pain in this part of the earth will be neighbor against neighbor, brother against brother.
Not looking forward to it. If we could simply obey our own rules, not break our own laws.....

As long as it's understood that our "War Between the States"
(as the Confederates called it) was waged over STATES' RIGHTS
(slavery was indeed a PART of it, although there were
Americans of African descent that fought FOR THE SOUTH as
well, and that fact is NEVER mentioned
), I can see
(like you said) a storm brewing over
ILLEGAL immigration too.

Either way it's not pretty. :cry:

All true stuff. But I don't want my point in posting that old image to be missed. When fighting an enemy as deadly as we're fighting now, it's very foolish of us to be so divided over whether we keep on fighting them or if we just give up and come home. You know they just sit back and laugh at our internal bickering.
