Comment on Perry orders mental health cuts by Sonia

This artcile strongly resembles Sunday's op-ed in the Houston Chronicle. Maybe the writer should consider citing her sources in the future.

I agree with your point, but there are a few factual errors. The name of the publication is "Der Spiegel" (the Der is fundamental in German), and your assertion of: "from the start of the war in 2004" is clearly wrong.

Comment on As companies gripe, music industry destroys itself by Diamond

While the mainstream media bemoan the death of the music industry, they also ignore the one rapidly growing area of music, country. Besides, saying that the radio stations spoon-feed programming to listeners is like complaining that TV stations spoon-feed sports to viewers. In reality, they play what people want to hear and see, and what sells the most advertising. I'm sorry the tastes of the regular people out there in the world don't adhere to your cool indie version of what they should listen to. If people like Lady Gag, Ke-{dollar sign}-ha or Nickelback, more power to them. Why are you so bitter? Pop in your own CD and leave the rest of us alone. Please.

Okay Ke$ha and Nickelback do suck, but Lady Gaga isn't bad. Should have said Justin Beiber. Does anyone really like that kid's music or is it all about the hair?

Comment on Muslims deserve religious rights by Arafat

Fred,

I agree.

Another expression (which Jesus coined) is, "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's, and unto God that which is God's."

I bring this up because this is one of the basis for the separation of church and state, as we in the west all practice.

In totalitarian Islam it is the opposite. Mohammed preached and practiced the opposite. He ruled both the state and the religion with an iron fist. Therein lies one of the problems. Study any of the 57 OIC countires and you will find very little separation of church and state, but will find instead some form of Sharia law. In fact in countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran and Somalia Sharia law is THE law.

Think about that for a minute….Saudi Arabia, Iran & Somalia…three of the worst practicioners of women hating, gay hating, Jew hating, Christian hating countries in the world. Is this what we want for the West?

Andrew: It appears to me that you do not understand the American culture. We Americans are tired of people coming here and then telling us we MUST accept your ways, etc. I am sure you have heard the expression, "when in Rome, do as the Romans." That is the same for us. When you are here, you act and do like an American. It is in very bad taste for you to consider a Mosque in the site you have chosen. To me it seems you want to poop on us and then slap us because it draws flies. May I suggest you consider the Mohave Desert if you must go on with this idea. After what America went through there is no justification for a Mosque. Saudi Arabia who pretends to be a friend will not allow you to wear a cross or make any expression of Christianity. I would suggest you find another country…one that will let you build on every corner.

(Part III)

Look into the demographic shifts in Lebanon, Jordan, Pakistan, Indonesia, Sudan, Egypt, Algiers, Turkey over the last 1,400 years (since the Islamic Cult began) and you will find that IF Islam is a religion than it sure practices its faith with a cruelty towards others that makes fascism look gentle. Islam is not a religion as WE understand religion. It is unlike Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity and Judaism and Aethism too. Islam IS a totalitarian cult dressed in sheep's clothing.

(Part II)
On the surface that is what my argument appears to be, but let me explain further. I do not consider Islam a religion so much as a totalitarian cult whose aim is to dominate the world and force those who do not submit to its authority to a second class status. This may sound like the ratings of a paranoid maniac, but I challenge you to show me any Muslim countries where the minority religions have the same rights as those afforded Islam. More so, find me one Islamic country where the demographics do not show a clear trend toward minority (non-Islamic) people slowly disappearing.

Let me remind you that when Mohammed was born –in 570 AD — the Arabian Peninsula was populated by Christians, Zoroastrians, Jews, Assyrians. Today there is not one single non-Muslim citizen in Saudi Arabia. Let's take another example, or two. Somalis used to populated by Black Africans, Animists and Christians and not a single Muslim. Today it is 100% Muslim. Afghanistan used to be a Hindu and largely Buddhist land mass. Now it is 100% Muslim and even the Banyan Buddhist sculptures have been "eliminated".
