"We tend to forget, in the West, that the United States has more Muslim blood on its hands than al-Qaeda has on its hands of innocent non Muslims," Feisal Abdul Rauf

What? Are you denial? That's a fact.

And let me add, that does not include the blood on our hands caused by the authoritarian regimes we have supported over the years. Just last week, I read of an incident where two Saudis were fighting over an issue.......a gun went off and one Saudi got shot and in the process became paralyzed. The other guy was sentenced and served time in jail. He now has finished his sentence but the guy whose paralyzed isn't happy so he sued the guy, demanding that the guy's back be broken so he too would be paralyzed. So a gov't judge is in the process of finding a hospital that will do the deed.

This is the same Saudi Arabia that your Mr. Bush did kiss kiss with its princes.

When repressed Saudis see how America actively supports these repressive regimes, what do you think their view of America is? Is it any surprise al Qaida can easily recruit Muslims to suicide against American interests? It shouldn't be.

And don't bother to respond, Bill. I know how you all refuse to acknowledge this stuff; that anything the US does is perfect and then you all are shocked when planes get hijacked and flown into American office towers.

Hostess won't wear Disney's head scarf alternative

1 minute ago

(AP:ANAHEIM, Calif.) A woman who accused the Disney Co. of discrimination for refusing to let her wear a Muslim head scarf at work says she won't wear a specially designed hat instead.

Imane Boudlal, who's a restaurant hostess at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, says Disney's suggested hat-and-bonnet is embarrassing and makes a joke of her religion.

She has gone home without pay seven times rather than remove her hijab or accept jobs away from customers.

Disney spokeswoman Suzi Brown says the company believes the head covering accommodates both Boudlal's beliefs and Disney costuming guidelines.

Last week, she filed a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commiss

Bill, > "We tend to forget, in the West, that the United States has more Muslim blood on its hands than al-Qaeda has on its hands of innocent non Muslims," Feisal Abdul Rauf said at a 2005 lecture sponsored by the University of South Australia.

He's just repeating the official stance of the Democratic National Party.

Is anyone surprised that Ted is defending that comment?
