    Um, Muslim is not a race.

    As far as the airport incident goes, if I was waiting to board a flight and six muslim imams decided to recite prayers out loud, being the confrontational person I am, I would probably have confronted them to tell them they were infringing upon my civil liberties as an American, that many non-Muslims are offended by them reciting prayers in a public setting in this non-Muslim country.[/quote]How does their praying infringe upon your rights?

    Spiteful.

    Do you accept the blame for every wrong done by any Christian?

    Ah, helloooo - that was the point I was trying to make.


    Their praying out loud to a false god infringes upon my rights to not have to hear such prayers in a public place. Just as someone cursing in public or taking the Lord's Name in vain infringes upon my rights to not have to hear such words in a public place. Both are equally offensive to me. And I have confronted people who have used the f-word or taken the Lord's Name in Vain in my presence. So I would have no problem confronting some muslim imams making a spectacle of themselves in a public place.

    To you, reporting suspicious activity may be spiteful. I would imagine the families & friends of the people murdered in the WTC, the Pentagon, and the field in Pennsylvania wish in hindsight that people had been more cautious on 09/11.

    If thousands of Christians all over the globe were blowing themselves and others up and chopping off heads in 2006, I would say you have an analogy. However, since Christians are not blowing themselves and others up and chopping off heads in 2006, your question is just a red herring.

    BA has now had a change of heart. This is course would have nothing to do with Catweazle (sorry, Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury) threatening to withdraw the £6.6 million worth of shares that the Anglican Church has in BA unless they changed their policy, of course, would it? Other church leaders, notably Catholic and Anglican, have spoken out against BA and threatened a boycott. Our American readers may be interested to know that our version of the ACLU, Liberty, was supporting Ms Eweida's assertion of her Christian convictions. BA's Chairman has also been rebuked by his fellow-Catholic and school friend for "forgetting where he's come from". All in all, BA didn't stand much of a chance but it was Catweazle's intervention yesterday that seems to have tipped the balance against them

    The (only) Good Book told us they would take over the world and lead everyone in a last fight against God . . .

    I just pray that they do not get permission from God Himself until after I am dead.

    Tell it like it is!

    :jesus: is the ONLY WAY.
