So, we'll have to agree to disagree.

It's like the "Godfather," Kumar. It's not personal, it's "Foreign Affairs." I think what gets to me the most about this is that the Indian Politicians have made a profession out of lecturing us on how to conduct ourselves. Let them wave their bloody fingers at themselves. I have no doubt that the Muslims over there are just as bad. The day after day stories of treatment of individuals in Sharia societies and even normal Muslim ones in Pakistan and Afghanstan are stomach turning.

You asked me the other day if I am a racist. It is hard not to be when you keep reading these stories. It is certainly not genetic. Sons and Daughters of these people come over here and become our best citizens. But the Societal setup over there must encourage this behavior or it would not be happening over and over. It is obviously Religious. But Religion over there runs and is totally intertwined in the Society.

We have been engaged in a long term battle between Freedom and Religion in this country, and in Western Civilization. We have more freedom from it here, and in Europe, than anywhere. The "Third World" has not even got off the ground on fighting this battle. You can trace the cause for 911 right to it.
