The US will never understand Islam....

and how LONG AGO were there abortion clinics bombed? what happened to the perpetrators? they were arrested and imprisoned. its a rare event in the usa and to use it as an example particularly when we see world wide terrorism every day in the name of islam is disingenuous to say the least. in a theocracy such as all of those countries in question, the religion dictates the law. their religion is the reason for the lack of freedom and the oppression of women. we know a family who actually was returning to a moderate islamic country (qatar) after living in the usa for 5 years. his wife did not want to return because no matter how "moderate" it still spelled oppression for her.

It could've been worse. She could've been going back to the home country of Bush's favorite handholder, Prince Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. I've always wondered how come Bush is so hot to bring democracy to Iraq, but looks the other way when it comes to Saudi Arabia. Gee, you think it could be business ties and it puts bread on the Bush table? And lest we forget, 15 out of the 19 hijackers came from Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabian money finances most of the madrassas. If you want to complain about what's wrong with Islam, you don't have to look any further than Saudi Arabia.

When the imams do decide to "speak out", the board a us air jet, behave suspiciously, arrousing fear in not only the english speaking passengers and crew but a muslim passenger who reported what he was hearing in arabic. and then they speak out that they were mistreated.

All they were doing was praying. One of the Five Pillars of our faith.

no, they were not. www.webcommentary.com/Asp/ShowArticle.Asp?id=barrettt&date=061207

that particular piece is a commentary but there were several newspapers that covered exactly what happened in addition to witness accounts so the accounts in the commentary are accurate. One witness named Pauline is terrified to even reveal what city she lives in. Additionally, they had already prayed prior to boarding. they had satisfied that particular requirement so why did the repeat the evening prayers on the aircraft?

when president bush pursues change through diplomacy you are unhappy. do you think that the united states should isolate themselves from every middle eastern country? did you consider that the best way to effect change is through maintaining relationships?

Oh, puhleeze! Bush has no problem with Saudi Arabia because he's been in bed with them and it puts bread on his table.

You're going to effect change in the Middle East through Saudi Arabia? Gee, maybe that change can start by letting women drive?

Good God, you can't make this stuff up.

Btw, when did you become an Islamic scholar?

your response is hardly worth comment. one does not need to be an islamic scholar to understand what the goals of radical islam are. to imply that president bush is lining his pockets with saudi oil is beyond ridiculous. too much michael moore? he can make this stuff up.
