9-11
Never forget. Never forgive. All I need to know about radical Islam I learned on 9-11.

I would've liked to have seen Osama strung up. Too bad that got derailed.
I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

Extra points if you can do a better job than McCain in discerning the difference between Sunni and Shia Islam, both historically and in the context of events since, oh, let's say the Iranian Revolution.Inder wrote:Great.

Re: 9-11
My problem is that 9-11 was yesterday so do I remember 9-11 on 9-11 which is actuallly 9-10 or do I remember 9-11 on 9-12 which was when it was 9-11

Re: 9-11
I don't think one can make an argument supporting radical Islam. I think many are unable to hear an opinion on radical Islam and separate it from Islam.

I'd still like to read what you learned about radical Islam.

Hilarious.
A friend's father died on the top floors of the WTC on 9/11. They didn't have a body to bury,
I'd love to hear your reductive simplifications fly past him.
Re: 9-11
Just to be clear -- my problem is with the fact that gross oversimplifications are a disservice. Radical Islam is a convenient menace, as communism was before it, that too often proves to be lazy shorthand for any real consideration and thinking.

Re: 9-11
Fuck all that. 3,000 people died for a collection of cunts could prove a point. The government let it happen through its own stupidity and then used it to crack down on all undesirables. It was a terrible day and has been made more terrible by those who use it for gain both in country and out.
