These characters have never stopped for Ramadan when fighting among themselves so why should we stop?

I am a little dumbfounded. I don't recall that I have agreed with you very much in the past, but I find nothing in your long post to disagree with and much to support, wholeheartedly.

Knip, good post. I agree with most of it on an emotional level. As for the virgin question you posed on the main thread: the pc police has advised me not to answer. :)

Talked to a relative whose son studied at the Hamburg, Germany college also attended by Atta. The son remembers the controversy about Islamic students' demand they be assigned a 'prayer' room. Most students were against it, but the college administration caved in and gave them the room [where they probably did part of their plotting]. Germany is now taking a harder stance. For years they had bent over backwards for foreigners, granting them all kinds of freedoms usually denied natives.

And that upsets me more than anything: here and in Germany these visitors abused our hospitality and freedoms to plot our doom. No more! Don't allow them to use the cloak of religion.

Good post.

Did you see the NYT article a few days back regarding Saudi Arabia. Apparently, mandatory courses for all students include highly inflammatory fundamentalist teachings.

I really believe that Saudi Arabia is going to be more and more of a problem for us....
