Yeah, we know. It was the land of milk and honey and Saddam was angel before we showed up. :lol:

We might. Never say never. But the govt is going to need public support (one of the tragic flaws of democracy :-)). That support doesn't exist. We've been there. We know these people. We know that even if we destroy ISIS, these people are still not capable of rising above their petty differences...

@AndrewJin - That looks quite a ways inland. You get strong hurricanes that far inland? That's a pretty big boat. It must have taken something pretty serious to capsize it.

See post #242 for the answer to your comment regarding the Pew survey. As for the rest of your post, you're kinda losing focus. If you're gonna play a part, you've got to take it all the way. Really get into the character. Most importantly, you can't slip up and let your personal bias seep...

Guess there's no shortage of morons in this world.

British actor Michael Enright, who starred in “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest,” has reportedly left the glitter of Hollywood to join the Kurdish People’s Protection Units in the fight against the Islamic State in Syria. In an interview with the Dubai-based channel Al Aan TV, Enright...

I think one of the biggest mistakes south Asians make is when someone says "Muslim" you think about yourself and extrapolate it to the rest of the Muslim community. Most of YOU may be college educated people who come here for higher education or on a professional visa and stay on. You forget...

Just wanted to point a couple of things out. If you're gonna try to pass yourself off as a church going African American Christian, you should call it the OLD Testament. And yes, it is common knowledge (at least to us atheists) that copying and pasting is not exclusive to the digital age...

No? So the fact that you went on and on about the data being from 2002 when I clearly said since 2002, was what? Your attempt at writing the next great American novel? Well, those "smart" people aren't constantly whining about the media. YOU are. They're minding their own business and getting...

It better unravel. I think I may have bet money on it in one of my posts :lol: Edit: latest statement from United regarding this incident. Look like they're going to back the flight attendant. Waiting for the passengers to start talking. United Hub - Shuttle America Flight 3504 - News

Wow! You really know how to piss a guy off! Ok, here goes: (1) You should read my post again. But this time, pay particular attention to the part that says "SINCE 2002". The range of 105 - 160 is the lowest and the highest from 2002 to 2013 (2014 and 2015 are not out yet). Your lack of reading...

As opposed to the polite Pakistanis who just shoot people in buses? I guess there's something to be said for that. At least, people don't die with their feelings hurt.

I think you might be better off looking up the FBI crime stats than asking some random guy on a forum. The FBI hate crime stats indicate that since 2002, the number of hate crimes against Muslims run between 105-160 per year. That translates to about 3.5 - 5.2 per 100,000 if you go with a...

I think he's a little confused (as am I) since World War II ended in 1945 with the allies winning. But I'm sure you have your own version of history. I don't even know what that means.

I think I covered that in an earlier post. Islamophobia is not on the rise. It has always existed. What has changed is that it is now socially acceptable as opposed to a few years back when you would have cleared the room if you went on Islamophobic rant. Today, those same people are looked at...

I didn't create the elaborate plot. I merely cleaned up the embellishments in Tahera Ahmad's story and this is what was left. Pretty much everything I stated in my post is part of her original post (including the part about the flight attendent opening the other passenger's beer can after Tahera...

@Jungibaaz - Do you believe Tahera Ahmad's version of the events? That a random stranger on a plane cussed her out? Here my version of the events. No, I wasn't on the plane but I'd bet money on it. Flight attendant gave her an open can and the other guy an unopened can. She asked for an...

Wait a couple of days. There will be an explanation from the airline and the other passengers. The rude airline employ, I can buy. But the random guy cussing at her from across the aisle? That's just a blatant lie.

If that was the criteria for allowing a state to encroach on other state's space, we should pretty much inherit the world along with the other developed countries for 70 years of doing that through the IMF and World Bank.

China isn't offering to help. So there is nothing to reject.
