The first cracked article to be actually interestingly informative for a long time

TLAM Strike · 12-20-10, 12:35 PM

In before the flame war...

Takeda Shingen · 12-20-10, 01:01 PM

In before Obama.

Morts · 12-20-10, 01:01 PM

In before lock.

ETR3(SS) · 12-20-10, 01:06 PM

In before Skybird.

antikristuseke · 12-20-10, 01:07 PM

Out before Dowly.

Sailor Steve · 12-20-10, 01:21 PM

In before...well, nothing, actually.

Interesting points. Thanks, The_Tyrant.

Yeah, good article, thanks tyrant.

Somewhat off topic, but until I read the article linked in the OP I'd never seen before. I have to say I think McCain responded admirably to those questions.

In...wait...dammit guys!

Gargamel · 12-20-10, 04:18 PM

In before..... err.... umm....

Ok, well that was an excellent read.

Such a sad state the world is in when the .1% extremists of any group (That Kansas church, the pstor from florida, terroists, etc) are the 'accepted' representative of that group.

When 99% of a group looks at the 1% and says "what the **** bob?", the world shouldn't be holding Bob as the typical.

So let's all turn off our TV's, ignore the talking heads, and actually go meet other cultures we don't know about and get to know them.

Oh, right, this is real life..... sigh

Seems to be quite a bit more than 1%...

Pew also provides each polled country’s percentages of support for al-Qaeda: 34 percent of Jordanians, 49 percent of Nigerian Muslims, 3 percent of Lebanese, 20 percent of Egyptians, 23 percent of Indonesians, 18 percent of Pakistanis, and 4 percent of Turks.

Nigeria, Egypt, Indonesia and Pakistan are four of the most populated Muslim countries.
