As I understand the rules of this thread, it is supposed to be debate about issues, not individuals. You have attacked me on a very personal level, for which I forgive you.

So what if a couple items on a long list of Muslim atrocities turn out to be incorrect? What about the others? There are many more items that are correct. Both of us know there are and neither of us have the time to go through them. You just picked the one on top because you knew you could nail me on it, which is fair enough and my mistake.

I DO [emphasis, not shouting, as that too seems to be a no no in these parts] know many of the items are correct, and I have not forgotten them. Muslims need to come out of the eleventh century.

If Muslim doctrine condemns murder and suicide, they sure do a hell of a job of ignoring their doctrine.

Is that what you call being responsible and aware?

Cut the personal attacks, if you please. I stand up for what I believe, because obviously nobody else is going to.

Croc gets shark for dinner
Oops. Wrong thread:

DARWIN, Australia, May 23 (UPI) -- An Australian fisherman watched in amazement -- and snapped pictures -- as a saltwater crocodile ate shark for dinner.

Paul van Bruggen told the Northern Territory News that he and his companions heard splashing and saw a shark's tail emerge from the Daly River, followed by a crocodile's head. He said that the crocodile appeared to realize that the shark would be helpless on land.

"How smart is the crocodile? It if was you or me it would be dragging you in to drown you but it takes the shark up on dry land,'' he said.

Van Bruggen had gone to the Daly River last Friday for the Barra Classic fishing competition. He said that the crocodile ignored him and his companions even though they were only about 50 feet away.

The saltwater crocodile, affectionately known in Australia as the "saltie," is the world's largest living reptile with males known to reach lengths of 20 feet. Its range includes northern Australia, New Guinea, Southeast Asia and parts of India.
