Live and let live I always say. It does, however, require reciprocity on the part of our fellow human beings. Save the wedgies for pledge week.:-?

Or continues...although I think this is the first attack on the presidential palace, or at the very least the first since the handover.

They'll return, and keep going at it until they win, like I said earlier, they're better at the long game than we are.

Must get around to reading Peter Hopkirks book at some point...

Porky derailments aside, They have practised the long game for the last 1000 odd years so no reason for them to stop that I can see. They have much to gain and little to lose so will keep going till they get what they want.

Are Bosnians considered Jihadists or is their Muslim population not down with sharia law ?
You seem to not know what the words you use mean.

Sorry Captain. It's nothing new. Black Jack Pershing was the first to use that type of ammo in the Phillipines in the early twentieth century. Those Muslims behaved themselves for decades afterwards.
Errrrrrr....no.
The only time they stopped attacking the American occpation in those decades is when the Americans were temporarily replaced by the Japanese.

As far as I know, the only Christians with a dietary taboo are the Catholics and that's just on Fridays and during lent.
No, there are lots of flavours of Christianity with dietary taboos. The most common on those big taboos are those that claim to be torah compliant Christians, mainly Copts and Adventists.

Agreed...this is certainly something they have perfected over the centuries.

I think he does. Not being down with means not agreeing with, not being homy with the other Fatva dawgs

A right, the errorfull connection of fundamentalism with sharia law.
The line is a bit blurry there

I am always of the opinion that there are two subjects that should never be broached in polite conversation... politics and religion. I broke my own rule.:timeout:
No matter what, an individual's opinion is their own and usually doesn't mean squat to anyone else.:hmmm: My best bet here would be to just STFU and not belabor the point by responding incessantly to a skewed dissection of what I said because I'm not troll bait.

Have a great day.:D
