| #14 Reaching a win-win solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Since we Jews worship life, whereas Paleos (and ROPers in general) worship death, I do believe that a win-win solution is possible. |

| #13 Islam proves that being ruthlessly violent to your children during their tender years will assure that logical thought processes are replaced by blind obedience and assinine beliefs. |

| #12 Meanwhile, back at the article... "Reaching a win-win solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the only way to take the steam out of the culture of martyrdom, Hafez believes." But of course he has no prescription for how to reach a win-win when the Palestinians are hell-bent on exterminating the Israelis. He's about as useless as Jimmy Carter. |

| #10 While I'm not at all fond of the particular epithet in question, I'd wager that all of us would be revolted far more intensely by eavesdropping on the average Islamist's mind for a minute's thought about women in general. Yes, I am a staunch advocate for civility hereabouts. I'd also like to point out how infrequently Ptah ever descends to such vulgarity. That said, I'm outta here. |

| #9 "Vaginas" would have done Ptah, we're all relative adults here. Your choice of word is an epithet againt women and out of context here. Women have little to do with this virgins in heaven thing for the males - don't curse them. But receptacles, only receptacles for the martyr's jism. Yup. just like the one's on earth. |

| #8 And we do appreciate the touch of class and culture the fairer gender adds. So let's not gross them out unless there is some positive reason that makes it necessary to do so. |

| #7 But not particularly pleasant for the women here to read. |

| #6 Virgins works as well and isn't as unnecessarily offensive. But not nearly as descriptive. Let's be honest -- "virgin" implies a complete person, someone you can get to know as an individual, and only describes their inexperience in one aspect of life. The houris promised to shahids are described in terms of two things -- their eyes and their constantly regenerating hymens. I think Ptah's term was perfectly apt. |

| #5 yes. mohammad atta and his cohorts were desperate when they took over US airliners and killed Americans. what else could they do? Or the scores of suicide bombers in iraq. they have no other recourse! They're desperate! COME ON! Paleos aren't desparate. They're the product of a sick, uncivilized culture. They vote in a group who wants to destroy the only possible partner they have in creating their own country. They worshipped a leader who they knew was corrupt and stealing food from their children's mouths. They continue to support strategies that do not in the least serve their interests. what about all the other societies that were TRULY desperate throughout the ages? Why didn't they resort to such heinous tactics? Is it that difficult to conclude that paleos are the product of a despicable culture? Must this asswipe be simply another apologist? Haven't we all seen through that veil of lies by now? |

| #1 "Hasn't got a clue" is being pretty damn generous. From the article: "What could possibly compel a person to strap a bomb to himself, walk into a restaurant or onto a bus and detonate his charge, with the express intent of killing both patrons and himself?" A barbaric, primitive, totalitarian murder cult called Islam. |
