With all due respect, tears still coming from eyes as a result of laughing so hard at your statements above! Comparing inner city ghettos of Chicago, and East St. Louis to regions on the Pakistani borders with Afghanistan, or to ghettos in an Islamic country such as Iran, is sort of like comparing Donald Duck with Gotzzila! Like I said, take a week of vacation and spend sometime in the Khost region (where the Muslims need so much of your love and affection), or take a week of vacation in Saudi Arabia or Iran and start spreading your love and affection . I am sure they appreciate your efforts!! Just think... just this morning another Muslim tried to blow himself up... had you been there and shown your love and affection to him, he might have listened, right? So please go there and show to them what LOVE and PEACE truly is! Go ahead... Make their day! Just one thing, PLEASE do not take your wife and sons and other family members on this vacation trip. Go alone and hopefully when (if) you come back bring them lots and lots of goodies! Regards,
