Sounds familiar doesn't it?
In this country it was Christians insisting that Christians sit in the back of the bus.
In our case, one class of Christians treated another class of Christians as if they were NON-citizens and sub-human.
It was in fact, Southern White Christians who violently resisted the idea that Southern Black Christians should be allowed to vote. More than this: They raped Christians, murdered Christians, and burned churches in an effort to terrorize Black Christians.
Don't tell me you missed that buz.
Don't tell me you have forgotten that.
And don't tell me that you wouldn't put Mohammed in the back of the bus; or UNDER it.

We did just that to Iraq for nearly ten years. I doubt Sadam had anything to do with it, but: Can you see 9/11 as retaliation on behalf of the millions of helpless victims of our exploitative behavior toward third world populations? What more appropriate target than headquarters of the World Trade Organization?

doctrbill to buzsaw - "WWJD??????"
Brian to doctrbill -
quote:
Let me think..... Oh I got it, what does he normally do in such situations? I think he would fall back on the old trick of selecting a leader from the community, inform that leader to slaughter the enemy's innocent women and children and keep the innocent female children to themselves?
I suppose he would have done the same as his ancestors and his God (i.e. Father - Jehovah but thankfully, he never got the chance. "Nipped in the Bud," so to speak.
