This kind of reminds me of blacks today demanding restitution for slavery that happened generations ago. This whole thread has a "poor pitiful me" ring to it.

Your attitude has a classic leftist, dismissive, anti-semitic lilt.
Intolerance torwards Muslims? There is based on the actions of a few whackos.
But what scares me is that you don't see very many "good" Muslims preaching tolerance for other faiths. A cabinet minister in Pakistan was killed by a man who didn't support his position of tolerance to minorites and other religions. Imans supported this assasination and the other cabinet members wouldn't even go to their coworker's funeral. The President attended it alone.
Somehow I think if a Obama cabinet minister had been assasinated for preaching tolerance to other faiths, he would have been mourned by the rest of the world.
A Pakistani Governor preaching the same tolerance was also killed for his beliefs. Once again the "good" Muslims hid when it came time to honor this hero.
Personally I am not very religious, but I do believe others should be able to practice their faiths. Islam used to be much more tolerant of other religions, but now even Sunni's and Shia's are at each other's throats. Hopefully a super-Iman will appear to end the intolerance.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.

How is it anti-semitic to state that I have heard more rants about Muslims than rants about Jews. You're delusional as usual.
285Bound is a helluva lot more fun than PineCam, I can already tell. Pretty close to no holds barred.
Racism, no matter who directed at, is a human condition that demonstrates idiocy in the fact that we all still have to live on the same planet. Mother nature needs to do some serious clean up and wipe about 99% of us off the map (I won't discriminate, I have no problem being included in that group). Only problem with that is who will be in charge when things are re-built? As a human race, we are wretched things. We will never get over our stupid @$$ differences.
