I rather resent the fact that some on this board would question my motives for starting this thread, the linked sources and content. I also find it repulsive that some can make disparaging comments about such a serious subject. You're not funny. You're not cute. You have not added anything of serious import to the thread which indicates to me that you live in your small little virtual world without a profound thought in your head. You show your ridicule by posting your silly thread topics about bagels and gifts. How shallow. How facile. How juvenile.
So Swampy, just what was your point in starting this thread? Was it to cause us all to gnash our teeth and wring our hands in pity? Was it to make us fear and hate all of those in the world who aren't like us? Or was it to search for a solution to the problem? If it was the first two I don't see much of a point. I would hope that a person would start a thread like this as a constructive exercise, with a constructive title, rather than yet another thread to stir up some more poo-throwing, with yet another a pot-stirring title.
If you had wanted people to start a constructive discussion about this subject it would have helped to start it out with a statement other than something like this -
Frightening! And it is spreading...Great Britain, Canada, Holland, Germany, Spain, France. Sharia law is making headway. We cannot afford to lose the war on terror because this is what the Religion of Peace holds in store if we do.
You know, something more open like -
"I find this terribly disturbing and would like to seek some solutions, something to really help these women. Do you all have any ideas?"
Instead you post something inflammatory and wonder why people dance around the flames.
