You're on a first name basis with him, impressive. Last time I heard, he insisted everyone call him Mr. Fatone and no one was allowed to make direct eye contact with him or sit a chair that was higher than his.
Quote:Our opinion of what is just and fair is to give every individual the freedom of choice, representation, a fair trial, and a set of basic human rights and freedoms
The funny thing is Sharia (Islamic Law) pretty much spells these things out nice and clearly. The only thing that is a little hairy is representation, but most Islamic states - even Iran, Egypt, and Turkey - have an elected legislature. It's just that in Iran, there is a Shah who sits above this and can veto anything he doesn't like. Islam is a very peaceful religion, it focuses a great deal on human rights, jurisprudence, and how people should interact with others.
Islamic fundametalists like these guys really have hijacked the Muslim religion to make it into one of hate and vengance. Did you know that the Koran states that even if you are on a jihad (which really doesn't mean "holy war" - a better translation would be "internal personal struggle) you are not allowed to hurt women or children, and if you see a tree that has even one leaf, you are not allowed to cut it down?
That is what gets my panties in a bunch, that they rally people behind a religion that they have manipulated for their own purposes

Your pocket Bible will stop an assailant's bullet, but not before it passes through four innocent bystanders, a school-bus gas tank, and your genitals.
