Many Muslims live in America and share their beliefs in a number of ways (the internet included) yet do NOT get executed for doing so.

Get my point???
They're fucking animals who have no respect for any other religion or for innocent people who did not ask for this.

Well said........

Thanks - these moments of clarity come to me amongst the anger and confusion that I feel over my unusual hatred for the religioius fanatics (of any religion - Catholics/Protestants included - they all think they are right but can't they see it is a lose / lose situation) who feel the need to force their beliefs on others - I believe in Wicca and practise it - but I do not force it on anyone and rarely share my beliefs with others - unless I know they are into it.

Especially if i know they are of another belief.
So all feel priveliged that I have shared with you - my beliefs

he he he.

Each to their own I suspose but they are a little over the top in their beliefs. Nar that's an understatement , get rid of the pricks the U.S needs to flex a little muscle and show them whos the boss. And put a stop to this nonsence for once and all.

So is this:

A different perspective forwarded to me from an email buddy today:

Widespread but only partial news coverage was given
    
   recently to a remarkable editorial broadcast from
    
   Toronto by Gordon Sinclair, a Canadian television
    
   commentator. What follows is the full text of his
    
   trenchant remarks as printed in the Congressional
    
   Record:
    
    
    
   "This Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the
    
   Americans as the most generous and possibly the least
    
   appreciated people on all the earth.
 
    
    
   Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and
    
   Italy were lifted out of the debris of war by the
    
   Americans who poured in billions of dollars and
    
   forgave other billions in debts. None of these
    
   countries is today paying even the interest on its
    
   remaining debts to the United States.
    
    
    
   When France was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it
    
   was the Americans who propped it up, and their reward
    
   was to be insulted and swindled on the streets of
    
   Paris. I was there. I saw it.
    
    
    
 When earthquakes hit distant cities, it is the United
    
   States that hurries in to help. This spring, 59
    
   American communities were flattened by tornadoes.
    
   Nobody helped.
    
    
    
   The Marshall Plan and the Truman Policy pumped
    
   billions of dollars into discouraged countries. Now
    
   newspapers in those countries are writing about the
    
   decadent, warmongering Americans.
    
    
    
   I'd like to see just one of those countries that is
    
   gloating over the erosion of the United States dollar
    
   build its own airplane. Does any other country in the
    
   world have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the
 
   Lockheed Tri-Star, or the Douglas DC10? If so, why
    
   don't they fly them? Why do all the International
    
   lines except Russia fly American Planes?
    
    
    
   Why does no other land on earth even consider putting
    
   a man or woman on the moon? You talk about Japanese
    
   technocracy, and you get radios. You talk about German
    
   technocracy, and you get automobiles. You talk about
    
   American technocracy, and you find men on the moon -
    
   not once, but several times and safely home again.
    
    
    
   You talk about scandals, and the Americans put theirs
    
   right in the store window for everybody to look at.
    
   Even their draft-dodgers are not pursued and hounded.
    
   They are here on our streets, and most of them, unless
    
   they are breaking Canadian laws, are getting American
    
   dollars from ma and pa at home to spend here.
    
    
    
   When the railways of France, Germany and India were
    
   breaking down through age, it was the Americans who
    
   rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania Railroad and the
    
   New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them an
    
   old caboose. Both are still broke.
 
    
    
   I can name you 5000 times when the Americans raced to
    
   the help of other people in trouble. Can you name me
 
   even one time when someone else raced to the Americans
    
 in trouble? I don't think there was outside help even
    
   during the San Francisco earthquake.
    
    
    
   Our neighbors have faced it alone, and I'm one
    
   Canadian who is damned tired of hearing them get
    
   kicked around. They will come out of this thing with
    
   their flag high. And when they do, they are entitled
    
   to thumb their nose at the lands that are gloating
    
   over their present troubles. I hope Canada is not one
    
   of those."

I read that too goreripper, and I have to say I pretty much agree with him.
