Your point is well taken and also the reason I hesitated for a while before posting.
Just so you know - I also laugh about all Pentecostals flippin out, Amish "liberties" and hillbilly reunion/weddings. That actually makes it worse and not better, I suppose, but the point is - no harm is intended.
"And if you go to your family reunion with the intent of meeting women.... you might be a redneck!"
Actually, there have been recent polls that as many as 10% of Islamic people approve of of the militant wing of the group..... 10% of a billion plus is a pretty big number.
It bothers me that there hasn't been very vocal condemning of Islamic militants by Islamic leaders in this country and around the world. After seeing the rejoicing and dancing in the streets in Jordan and other Arab areas after the 9/11 attack (I didn't see if they danced in Detroit's streets or not) I have to wonder how many Muslims are really anti-American and wish to see the American democracy destroyed.
In some areas there is an attempt to accomplish this by "bloodless jihad" by moving in, outnumbering others, and then bringing in sharia law by legislation.

Ah, wasn't offended Bro. I have a unique perspective.
I am all for being sensitive... for example: Instead of saying "Ultra Con" we should say "That Tulsa Crowd".

I think most people should know it was only posted in FUN as in HUMOR, helloo?
Along the lines of such things as:
Blonde jokes
Redneck jokes (you know youre one IF)
AGGIE jokes (for the Texans amongst us, and even some NOT)
..and so on.
WE gotta LAUGH sometimes..I sure could use a laugh ever so often and tonight signing in to see this was great! Very timely.
Besides there is no love lost towards the Taliban., yes we wish they would CHILL and seek the REAL ONE GOD, and we can pray for that, but the majority of them have been so secluded in their own dark little worlds *and they like it like that* they are convinced that the next one holds riches/rewards beyond their imaginations IF they can but kill some of us! Forgive me if that doesn't sound appealing.
Soooo keep the jokes comin S.Hoover!
