The problem with Islam is that it promotes bigotry and revels in religious supremacy. It's the only major religion which preaches that non-Muslims are inferior.

According to Iraqi Shiite leader, Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Husaini Sistani...

107. As regards the people of the Book (i.e. the Jews and the Christians) who do not accept the Prophethood of Prophet Muhammad bin Abdullah (Peace be upon him and his progeny), they are commonly considered najis, but it is not improbable that they are Pak. However, it is better to avoid them.

108. The entire body of a Kafir, including his hair and nails, and all liquid substances of his body, are najis.

109. If the parents, paternal grandmother and paternal grandfather of a minor child are all kafir, that child is najis, except when he is intelligent enough, and professes Islam.

She is just as guilty as bush for voting for and pressuring her collegues to vote for this illegal war.
My thinking is" principal over party" if they voted for this war -vote them out.
To me the biggest yard stick of politician's character is how they voted on this war.
And yes I am a democrat check my posts.
Vote every single war monger out, regardless of their party!

My husband and I found out that our attorney is best friends with the opposing council. When we asked her if she knew the other attorney, she told she had only "heard" of the other attorney and did not know her personally. Now that our case is over and settled, we have discovered that the two lawyers are best friends. It has been months and still haven't received any paperwork from the judge. We believe that we were misled by our attorney. What can we do? Did we get proper representation for our money?

I am not an American, but from some of the reactions here on Answers, some Americans regard the Democratic Party as Wimps, Defeatists, Monsters, etc., in short, everything the Republicans supposedly are not.
Well, I have news for you. Many Dems support Bush on Illegal Immigration, the War in Iraq, etc. And many Republicans, oppose Bush on these same issues. To me the main difference seems to be that the Democrats will look at possible consequences before acting, (and that is NOT bad) whereas Bush and his cronies believe in 'Shoot first, then ask questions'. (Which shows a certain lack of vision)
I speak for the rest of the world when I beg you: Please get rid of Bush and his band of´'Christian Fascists'.
It's time to sit down and talk to all parties concerned, and if that doesn't work, the West must act decisively.
What if Iran really doesn't want nuclear weapons, as they state over and over?
Why can't the US realise that blindly supporting Israel is a major cause of discontent

"The United States was attacked on September 11 and many years earlier, well before we toppled the Saddam Hussein regime,"

This is what Bush said in a news story I read, should be on the Yahoo front page. What I don't understand is if Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, why does this statement that Bush has said, seem to imply that they did?

Iraq has never had democracy right? So why the hell does Bush think it will work in the first place? Iraq is this generations "Vietnam", soldiers keep dying and nothing good comes from it.......

Why do they try to defend or get a person off the hook when they know that he indeed commit a horrible crime? I would drop the case and call the person a waste of a human life, but some lawyers after knowing the truth still seek to set them free, I know what it is, Money right?

As the lands break down, it has been predicted that eventually one day there will be one universal government. No Kings, Queens, Presidents or Dictators. Just one Universal Government. Would that be cool?..........I think so.....

I am taking some bailiffs to court after they illegally seized my goods. They took my computer, which I informed them that I used for it work and college, also I was not the intended person items they were to take. I told them this and yet they took it. They were unethical and I have taped recording to prove it.

I have my exams at the end of september, and I need my computer to practice for my exams and finish my project on time.

This is a real inconvenience and I'm truly having nightmares about it. Exams is so stressful, it's worse when you cannot prepare as you should. Because I juggle between work and college, I do not have time to go to a library.

I'm trying to get back my items but the hearing date is on the 17th of November, long after my exams. I requested an earlier court date from the judge, i haven't had a response and my exams are two weeks away!

I don't know how much to request for stress, I don't want to be OTT, but I need to be compensated!!

my take on it is that the arab world hates the jews so much because of what happened back in biblical times and thier inheritance was stolen by trickery.. then after centuries of hating the jews and not being able to do anything about it (because the jews cultivated friends around the world) their only option was to resort to terroristic tactics thus suicide bombers..do you agree or what is your take on this

Were Germans who did not support Hitler's genocidal policies un-patriotic?

WE THE PEOPLE are angered by a President who's representing his own agenda, not OURS, and mis-using OUR military to fight a battle with NO DEFINITIVE reason or mission. WE CHERISH OUR SOLDIERS and their LIVES. However, we DESPISE a MANIPULATIVE and DISHONEST President.

Iraq does not threaten OUR freedom, did NOT perpetrate 9-11, does NOT have WMD's, and posed NO threat to the U.S.

FIRST it was WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION.
- That was a lie.

THEN it was TERRORISTS WHO THREATEN OUR FREEDOM.
- Only our OWN government can threaten our freedom, and George Bush did so by passing the MIS-named Patriot Act, which diminished our rights and freedoms.

NOW it's about IRAQI FREEDOM.
- As we instigate an all-out civil war.

WE do not want our soldiers to die for someones LIES.

GOD BLESS AMERICA
