Of course, Slapper. Anything you say. You fascinate me and have made this board a bit more interesting for me.

Look, I understand that elbowing myself into the conversation isn't really fair to anyone but... this nonsense about Syrians and Palestinians and all Muslims in general is really tiresome at this point. I'm really spent and out of ammunition trying to defend good Muslims (which I know is 95% of the population). I've matured and have a clearer sense of what is genuine, important and most of all, honest.
The Muslim community, right now, is eerily quiet and seems to be eerily fascinated by radical Islam's goal of a world caliphate, not knowing or not wanting to know that they are infinitely closer to having their countries turn into a large bowl of glass.
We need that 95% to come out and say "fuck you radical Islamists, fuck you Salafists/Wahhabists and fuck Mohammed if all it means is death".
Until then, please spare me your morality issues.
On 9/11 I was right next to the WTC. When the second plane hit all the windows in my building were blown off. I had to crawl my 210-pound arse out of a 15th floor building only to find the front exit blocked by one of the plane engines, still smoking.
Please understand that for me, it's personal. After many, MANY, years of trying to understand and informing myself on the possible reasons for Islamic violence and blaming our government for it, Father Time has shown us ALL what the real reason is: The Koran and Islam. The reason people in Syria and most other Muslim countries have a shitty existence is Islam and the Koran, not the US. Islam and the Koran have been terrorizing people and minds for thousands of years now, at the very least many years before the US became an independent country, so it can't be the USA.
