Pat Robertson, Jabotinsky, Sharon,...... is that your shortlist of Islamo-fascists????? >>>> I have just asked a question why LOL? Why Islamo-fascists are LOL? Arguing about Sharon- (horrible miscalculation in Lebanon-that haunts the man up to this day) is a different issue... Why Islamo-fascists (ayatollah's and many regimes) are LOL? (

"I have seen several entirely sincere people who thought they were (permanent) Seekers after Truth. They sought diligently, persistently, carefully, cautiously, profoundly, with perfect honesty and nicely adjusted judgment--until they believed that without doubt or question they had found the Truth. That was the end of the search. The man spent the rest of his life hunting up shingles wherewith to protect his Truth from the weather. If he was seeking after political Truth he found it in one or another of the hundred political gospels which govern men in the earth; if he was seeking after the Only True Religion he found it in one or another of the three thousand that are on the market. In any case, when he found the Truth he sought no further; but from that day forth, with his soldering-iron in one hand and his bludgeon in the other he tinkered its leaks and reasoned with objectors." (from What is Man?) -- Mark Twain
