Elroy, here are some of your "kind and helpful" Muslims... ---------------- memri.org "Iran is Capable of Conducting a Fission Reaction" - Iranian Supreme National Security Council Secretary-General Ali Larijani In what appears to be the first acknowledgement by any high-ranking Iranian official that Iran has attained nuclear fission production capability, Iranian Supreme National Security Council Secretary-General Ali Larijani, who is in charge of Iran's nuclear talks, said on Monday, February 6, 2006 that Iran had attained nuclear fission production capability. Speaking in Persian, Larijani answered "Yes" to a reporter's question, "Have Iran’s nuclear scientists attained nuclear fission [production] capability?"(1) However, in the English-language report on his statement in the Tehran Times, the paper added the word "controlled," which did not exist in his statement in Persian.(2) These reports may suggest that Iran has moved another step towards attaining indigenous nuclear fuel cycle capability. Yet it was not clear whether Tehran Times and Sharq were referring to a capability – which could imply that Iran possesses either highly enriched uranium or plutonium for military purposes, thus violating the NPT – or to a result of a chain reaction typical of activity in the operation of a controlled civilian or research nuclear reactor. It should be underlined that there is no operational civilian reactor in Iran today; therefore, this would most likely be achieved in a research reactor.

Myself, I'm amazed at the AWESOME power of cartoons over Muslims! Perhaps "South Park" will grace us with an episode where Mohammed sexually services Jesus. Jesus is already a character, and lives in a modest suburban house in South Park, so, all they need to come up with is Mohammed and some plot that brings in the boys - maybe they can have Saddam and Satan (former homosexual lovers in the series) appear in the episode!

I just lifted this from Yahoo, the link speaks for itself IMO: breitbart.com It appears tensions have been rising for a long time between Muslims and (for lack of a better definition) the West. If it wasn't the cartoons, which is silly on its face, it would have been something else. This kind of rage didn't just suddenly appear! Enjoy, Taro

Oh please. Sacrilegious cartoons are everywhere all the time. They are? If they are everywhere all the time find us 20.

Oh please. Sacrilegious cartoons are everywhere all the time. Uh huh. For example, where? msnbc.msn.com In fact, most Muslims are neither more nor less concerned about abuses of that freedom than Christians or Jews. Except for a small fringe of radicals who presume to speak for Islam, mainstream Muslims, especially in Europe, have reacted with impressive moderation to what they rightly see as an outrage. Second: let us be clear. There is no "Muslim exception" when it comes to the abuse of religious symbols. Even in very secular France, the Roman Catholic Church last year won a suit banning a depiction of the Last Supper by a fashion designer who replaced the Apostles with lightly clad women. British Prime Minister Tony Blair last year proposed a new law extending protections against blasphemy to all religions, not just Christianity. He did not succeed—but it's significant that he tried.
