I live here Ray. The Enquirer reported accurately. Sorry to have to burst your anarchist bubble (just kidding, ...no I'm not).

Hmm, ...curious, ...quite a few of the protestors do not live here. Are you guys still using paid professional protestors?

1) Yeah, I'll bet all three demonstrators thought they got short-shrift on the coverage. 2) The easiest lie to tell is the self-serving one: <<By the way, my friend is a registered Republican who voted for George Bush in 2000>>...

Raymond got something for you to read and ponder. The greeting "salaam aleikum" may make you feel good but you need to understand your militant "friends". ----------------------- Dr. Shaikh is one of several hundred people facing execution in Pakistan from this modern Islamic Inquisition. Many are religious minorities who sometimes are sentenced to death simply for using the standard greeting of the Islamic world, "as-salaam aleikum." That means "peace be with you," but militants say the phrase is reserved for Muslims. The West is full of irresponsible vituperations about Islam being no more than a religion of violence and hatred. The vitriol amounts to an unrecognizable caricature to anyone who has lived in the Islamic world, enjoyed its hospitality and admired the dignity it confers on its humblest believers. Yet the bottom line is that nobody so distorts, denigrates and defames Islam as radical Muslims themselves, particularly the mullahs who try to have people executed for saying "peace be with you." hvk.org
