I wondered what you particularly liked about it I posted it not because I particularly liked it but because it sounded centrist and I don't find a lot of that so I figured I should take the chance when I had it. I disagreed with her on one point, though. <<Some are not even bothering to put their feet on the pedals, such as the 22 imams and scholars who met at London's largest mosque to condemn the bombings but who would not criticize all suicide attacks. Sayed Mohammed Musawi, the head of the World Islamic League in London, insisted "there should be a clear distinction between the suicide bombing of those who are trying to defend themselves from occupiers, which is something different from those who kill civilians, which is a big crime.">> From a religious perspective, I can see where she would want her religious establishment from condoning suicide. From a moral perspective, I can make a distinction between the targeted killing of enemy soldiers by whatever means and the random killing of civilians by whatever means. She seems to mush all suicide bombing together. Which assumptions gave you a problem? Besides the "coward" thing, that is. <g>
