It's when they succeed by using airplanes as missiles that concerns me. They may have a medieval mindset, but they aren't stupid. <br /><br />The American Muslims need to start talking to their medieval counterparts and convince them (somehow) that killing anyone only draws ire and vengeance. I don't know if this is happening or not. The American military complex also needs to stop killing medieval Muslims. I don't see this happening anytime soon.Doug Hoaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10030777644159310014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18968172.post-13071030430869238832010-09-15T13:28:02.162-07:002010-09-15T13:28:02.162-07:00Can you tell me how to get,

If we are going to object to the first, we should object to the second."<br /><br />The comparison with male circumcision is a very superficial one, and offensive in itself. I see it as a separate issue and didn't feel like getting into it right now, so I only quoted the first line of your post.<br /><br />Male circumcision is a regular hot-button issue on Democratic Underground, where the Jewish guys tend to get VERY upset when the opposition refers to them as "genitally mutilated."<br /><br />So I think I'm just gonna stand back and wait with that one...Rakshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11280365011937595321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18968172.post-75448895897801042432010-09-15T12:20:13.321-07:002010-09-15T12:20:13.321-07:00Old Lady: I understand what he's getting at, ...Old Lady: I understand what he's getting at, but that's an incredibly insensitive way of putting it and I'm sure he didn't mean it the way it came out.

I'm not sure what Raksha's objection to genital mutilation is (I could go on and on about my own objections), but my point is that this is part of someone's culture just as circumcision is part of Jewish culture. If we are going to object to the first, we should object to the second.Rabbi Ramihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07549679279782491931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18968172.post-44769051267063509402010-09-15T10:57:20.676-07:002010-09-15T10:57:20.676-07:00Raksha Rabbi is just sayin.

Doesn't mean we don't care, just means sh*t happens, life goes on, tomorrow is another day, don't get yer shorts in a bunch, charity begins at home, love thy neighbor as thyself, the wind don't blow up one dog's ass forever (thank you great-grandmother)...Old Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333172930957879928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18968172.post-86211003269556999412010-09-15T10:39:46.211-07:002010-09-15T10:39:46.211-07:00Re "If Muslim mothers want to mutilate their ...Re "If Muslim mothers want to mutilate their daughter’s genitalia, so what?"<br /><br />Are you sure you really want to say this?Rakshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11280365011937595321noreply@blogger.com
