Nan-in, a Japanese master during the Meiji era, received a university professor who came to inquire about Zen.

Nan-in served tea. He poured his visitor's cup full, and then kept on pouring.

The professor watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself. "It is overfull. No more will go in!"

"Like this cup," Nan-in said, "you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?"

Fair enough.

My point is, that if the Muslims who are not these fanatical fundamentalist cockroaches, would realize that they are at risk just as the rest of the infidels are, things may change enough where the world might begin to stop blaming Islam with a broad brush.

I believe Dubai and other "modern" Muslim societies would end if the kooks had their way. Right now, the "pick your enemy of the day" is recognized and taught in Muslim lands as a greater threat than the kooks who are terrorising the world.
