    I like John Lennon lyrics - Imagine

    Dinesh D'Souza
    "Islam's reformation"

    http://townhall.com/columnists/Dines...ion/page/full/

    Thoughtful and provacative article. But it is missing something, the idea that questioning church and state is a right.

    Freedom is very powerful and it is the absolute enemy of any "true one way to think". Given the freedom to explore and experience life and taking advantage of that will throw some folks completely of the rails. Sharia provides for amoung other things a cutting, stoning, no shades of grey manual of societal conduct.

    Personal responsibility WRT to freedom is why we pay taxes towards educating young citizens to be. So, freedom's not free, and we willl expend blood and treasure to allow our citizens to find their way in the world.

    When it's all said it's not done - history is busy writing new chapters whether we like it or not .

    I'm betting long term on freedom.

    Strange? I personally prefer organized religion over unorganized! Just like I prefer to watch organized football, organized baseball, organized military strikes, organized fast food, organized government, organized tax returns, organized fishing tournaments, organized traffic signals, organized...............at nauseum. The fact is life in general is better when things are organized no matter what area of life we are referring to. Anything that is unorganized wastes time, effort, and is non-productive. IMHO

    Governmental bureaucracy is a perfect example of how efficient "organization" is---

    I have always thought this. The difference between a "cult" [unorganized] and a "religion" [organized] is simply...... Political Power. All religions are simply cults until the number of members represent a voting block in elections. Now they are a truely organized religion. The new frontier is third world countries. Plenty of "naive" people to add to your cause. First come, first served.

    We better watch out,

    Personally, I think there are too many churches, mosques, temples or old fishing boats turned into churches. There are over 100 mosques already in New York City. You can hardly walk down a street without passing a church of every denomination. For what?
    Lets see how religion really works,
    1. Catholic church has now denounced the burning of the koran. Wow, call me surprised. 60 years ago, nazis burned jews and the catholic church said [thats OK, they arent christians]
    2. If we dont let them build this, they will attack us. We run the risk of attack both here and our troops in afganistan. Thanks, obama. Let me let you in on a little secret you idiot. They didnt need any reason to attack us on 9/11. Its what they do.
    3. If you are a muslim martyr, when you die, a hundred virgins will meet you in heaven so you can finally get laid. That makes sense to me. Proof there is a god. I say 101 dalmations, 101 mosques. Lets build it.
    4. Most americans believe in god and go to a church every week.
    5. Pornography, Prostituion, and Sex are the Number one down loaded item on the internet. Its a hugh industry.
    Now for any thinking mind I just cant wrap myself around the idea that any of this makes sense. Maybe thats the real reason we keep building churches and mosques. Without them, we would never get laid!

    Can't even watch fox news anymore as they have gone totally batshit crazy.
    Too many dumb ass whites biting on this kind of crap.
    As a conservative, I resent the fact that this sort of bs is being regurgitated by these slack jawed morons; the republican party is being dumbed down by this crap.
    your something man. I just have not decided what.
