I found another moderate Muslim

Well, technically, he’s an atheist:
At prayertime, all the men gathered in the center of the room, stood and prayed rythmically. I went along and stood with them, and then suddenly they all kneeled (part of the islamic prayer). I don’t know how to pray so I was the only one not to kneel, and I was pretty embarrased by then so i left the prayer circle. After the prayer ended i wandered around searching for Khalil, and found him sitting alone at the back of the room reading some religious books (there was a small bookshelf in the prayer room). Anyway, he informed me that the mosque had a public library for everyone, so we can go and check it out.
The library was incredible. Two stories high, filled with wonderful books of all subjects. Indeed when i asked the librarian if they had english books, she replied that they have everything from Harry Potter to Darwin. YES, DARWIN!!!!! A RELIGIOUS CENTER HAD BOOKS ABOUT EVOLUTION FROM DARWIN THAT COMPLETELY CONTRADICT THE CREATION THEORY OF THE KORAN AND THE BIBLE!
This is one of my internet stalkers, who hits me up for tech advice, a self-taught student of technology and English, living in Lebanon. He’s part of entire generation that’s alright with blue-jeans and lipstick, just like in most of the Middle East. It’s nothing to go to a bizarre and see knock-off American brands. And, yes, they are always knock-offs of American brands; no other country makes stuff anybody wants, save a few football (soccer) clubs.
Don’t be fooled, the majority of people who claim to be Muslims aren’t anything other than performing perfunctory service. The fringe crazies are just like any other fringe crazies, be it Fred Phelps crew, the Kossacks, or the nut-jobs that took 5 months to get outraged over some cartoons.
That’s one of the terrorist’s weapons, public opinion. The US and Coalition forces have to sift through police reports, intelligence, and trained liars to find the guilty parties, and it takes time. The propaganda says that there’s millions waiting to fight the Americans, and it’s just not true. It’s a well-coordinated effort, from their press, to our press, to paint this as the worst conflict in the history of man. Truth is, this is only the worst conflict in the 21st Century, and that’s only because it’s the only conflict of the 21st Century.
I’m not humanizing terrorists, nor am I apologizing for them. I loves me some dead terrorists. Just remember this kid the next time you wanna nuke the whole place.
SPECIAL NOTE TO DEBBIE SCHLUSSEL: Boy am I glad we got them terrorists. Can’t get through a day without hating America, no way! I <3 ISLAM!!!!!!!! Whoot!!!! Where’s them smiley face things? Does this work? :-> Just imagine it did.

Heh. If you weren’t using a stupid Macintosh, you’d have the smiley things. :razz:

And for the record, Beth did not write this.
(I have a slightly different opinion–look for my taqqiya posts, to start.)
(No, I’m not complaining, Mac.) :wink:

If you have any moderate Muslims, send them to my hacked blog. Been down for 30 hours.
Hosting Matters has traced the attack to Saudi Arabia.

has a shot of the original hack. The site was restored while I was away for the Sabbath and it’s been re-hacked.
Beth says:
I just posted about it…I’ll update to include the link to Linda’s.

I clicked on the link to your friends website and read his post.This young man obviously hasnt been indoctrinated in Islam.The library is a great draw for the mosque.(I remember the “childrens outreach” the local church had when I was growing up)This young man felt obligated to purchase a compass so he would know the direction of the prayer stone of Islam.(Kaaba)Why?
I think its naive’ to believe he isnt going to be influenced by his heritage.Its the same naivete’that prompts women to marry muslim men only to discover the woefull mistake later.When that teaching comes to fruition,I believe you will be dissapointed.The nut doesnt fall far from the tree.

Aaron,the translation on your webpage is “Was complete [aalaaxtraaq] by means of 020 [wmaazaalt] the control is continuous [yaa].” This isnt a message for you.Its for someone else.Hope you get things under contol soon.Good luck friend.

Dear Spazzmomma:
The region i live in is the most extremist region in all of Lebanon. I live with devout muslims daily, and out of curiosity I have read the Koran in arabic and in english, and i have also read the life story of the muslim prophet Mohammed. Do not think that I am an igonrant who does not know islam or what he’s writing about. I read the muslim book throughly before making my decision to be an atheist.
As for the compass, i bought it because simply because i wanted a reminder to this trip. It’s simply a “souvenir”.
Plus, I must say that most of the muslims i live alongside with do not have any bad thoughts of the american people, they respect them, but dislike the american government strongly for what it has done to them.
Plus, the argument of islamic terrorists:
If Billy Bob blew himself up outside my house, would the news report him as a “mad terrorist” or as a “christian terrorist”?
Please think about it. The terrorists here in the middle east are simply using religion as a cover and to attract more idiots like them. American governments adapted the title “Islamic terroriost” because they want something to differenciate us from you, and what is more differentiating than religion! so, bush and co. probably thought: “Hey, lets make our people rightly hate those islamic terrorists, and subconsciously dislike all the other peaceful, rightful muslims in the middle east! It’s like hitting two birds with one stone! what a wonderful idea!!”
I have no more to say.
