#2 Maybe the Time's experts could figure out how to get their subscription numbers back up*. Quagmire.

*Other than hiring ACORN to fill out all those snow flake subscriptions forms that fall by the dozen out of any magazine. We're talking 'paying subscriptions' unlike dead/non-tax paying/non-existent voters here.

#3 Dostum has at least one quality: he couldn't care less about Islam.

#4 I actually saw Dostum up close and personal. He had about 5 or 6 really scary Uzbek BGs w/him and they looked like stone-cold killers.

#7 couldn't care less about islam

Good definition of an advanced being

And he loves women, food and alcohol. Good definition of a (male) human being unlike the jihadist robots.

#8 For my part I couldn't care less what Muslims or anyone else believes or practices, so long as it does not harm anyone else and is not imposed on anyone by physical or other force.

#9 I care. It is the mind who decides the action of the body and it is ideas who determine behaviours of people. I care about what Muslims believe or practice and we will have no peace until they reject Islam.
