#1 Absolutely NO RESPECT for Islam. Any I had fell on 9-11-01. I've got more respect for Calender People, palm readers, Hale Boppers...

#2 I never really knew anything about Islam before 9/11 except some basics. Now I know more than I want.

#3 Except that Arabia has more isolationists and xenophobes per capita than we do. Lots more, in fact...

Yup, got to be pretty close to 100 percent

#4 A few minor matters: Jews don't build all that many churches (at least for ourselves); in fact, I believe Jews can't even BE in Soddy Arabia at all. Also, I don't think the lack of freedom on the part of Muslims to convert to other religions is limited to S.A. Isn't it a major offense worldwide? I'd love to see a poll of European (or American) Muslims on this topic, something like "Do you support the universal freedom to change one's religion?" Bet the results would be surprising. Also, the intolerance of other beiefs in S.A. is not restricted to other religions. Non-wasabi Muslim sects have a difficult time, too.
