Please. Not only is that simply untrue, a religion that leads people to riot and threaten violence whenever someone "insults Muhammad" in ways such as printing political cartoons is far from being better. People can worship their God or gods in whatever way they so choose, but to get offended by stupid shit effects our freedom of press.

If someone is moderate, enlightened, and progressive Muslim, cool. But "taking over the world" is not even remotely close to being a good thing.

Believing in one prophet is not less of a joke than believing in another.

Well here in America we have the freedom to insult who ever we want. Unfortunately Christians wouldn't stand up for the prophets like Muslims do. If they did, this country would be more respectful to/about religion in the first place.


What I'm wondering is... how true are those numbers?... How do the FBI know that I'm Muslim? How did they count me in? What if there's people out there that don't boast about their religion/belief system?... Then they're not counted for.

But I thank Bush for this good news, if it wasn't for his stupidity, Muslims would probably be within the same numbers prior to 9/11.
