#3 Wow. Lol! From first to last: boggling.

Methinks it's all about bubbles - and no, not the Liberace kind - the common life experience / paradigm kind. It is my habit to pose this question to myself: "How did he / she arrive at the place where this makes sense?" in order to formulate some semblance of a rational response. Whew, wotta collection!

Putting one's self in the shoes of those who penned these nuggets, and who obviously did so without any sense of their impact or rationality outside of the bubble of the PakiWakiLand mindset, is frequently (to my chagrin) beyond my ken. Amazing stuff.

In this case, the Venn diagram has no intersections.

Reminds me of just how important the bubble we each inhabit really is in shaping our responses - and how we are constantly talking past each other, at cross-purposes, due to the lack of a common paradigm. Sigh.

Thx, Paul!

#4 sadly, most of the American public will never hear about these types of things so that they can get a better grasp on what the WOT is really all about.

We need to do a better job on the propaganda war at home.

#5 Judge proves his Islamic credentials
According to daily Insaf, a Christian named Williams who worked in a hospital took home an unclaimed baby - whose mother had died - with the intention of bringing him up. A group of Muslims went to court protesting that a Christian could not bring up a Muslim child. To his great credit and blessing, the judge handed down the verdict that Williams should give the baby back to the hospital although the child was without parents.

But haven't I heard stories in this country about some organization called "The Association of African-American Social Workers" trying to do anything possible to prevent white parents from adopting a black kid, even if there are no available black parents? It seems to me there was a case where this group went way over the line, and a white couple won a law suit. Los Angeles County Social Services had to pay them $200,000 settlement for the interference, and the Judge also granted them the adoption of the black child they had fostered for 5 years.

#6 It happens BigEd. Better a black/hispanic orphan wait till he/she 17 and be on their own than to be adopted by tools of the system. He/she will then have more in common with their cohorts. HeyZeus is that stupid or what.

#7 Although was not a Muslim, Lincoln may very well have been a Melungeon, decendents of Turks shipwrecked in America in the 1600's who interbred with Indians and slaves and became hillbillies. Present day Melungeons claim him as one of them. Some known Melungeons are Elvis and Ava Gardner. If Lincoln was a Melungeon then our greatest president could have been 2 or 3 generations removed from Islam.
