    I have a few Muslim acquaintances and most have expressed their distaste, in general, for the decadent West. Most also felt that 9/11 was something America had coming to them as payback. I have tried pointing out to them the contradiction of their choice to live and work in the West whilst holding these views. That’s another story!

    This is the concept of taqiyya--a deceitful outward demeanor.

      Statement of the day.
      Primitive and almost something a hockey mom would say just before bed time to reassure her son :'shht now, it's ok to despise...' 😄

      pun intended.

        Primitive, huh? Good one. Let's see how many other adjectives the enlightened crowd can come up with. Come on now, put your mushy heads together.

          Ron,

          Why so aggressive?

            Pete, I'm tired of the name calling. It's petty, juvenile and typical of the left when faced with dissenting opinions.

              I think we've found something to agree on Ron 😄

                Ron, I agree: no need for name calling. But then, I can think of a few occasions where you indulged in it yourself. Double standards are a no-no.

                Anyways. Gentlemen, could we all please keep our manners? Leftist twts and neocon bst*rds alike? Don't make me come over there and put my socialist foot up yer *ss!

                As for despising, I think it's okay too. Your mind is your own private playground. It's not okay to act upon it, though. You gotta treat people with respect, even if it's only for the sake of convention.

                  That is well written Stinkie.
                  I agree.
                  Let´s calm.

                    Yes, calm is good. I need a rest from standing my ground. Stinkie, thanks for umpiring this round.

                      Thanks for the words, Stinkie. And I have long thought that we treat other people with respect for our own benefit as much as theirs.

                        There's some truth in that, I think.

                        If y'all will excuse me, I gotta back to worrying about my savings. 😐 The crisis has hit the shores of sunny Belgium.

                          Well I'm glad I kept my comments at bay last night and cooler heads prevailed.

                          I will say, calmly, I don't think it is okay to dispise, especially whole groups of people (yes, I do it, no, I don't like it...even in my personal playground). And I don't think Jesus thought(thinks?) it's okay either...at least from what I've read anyway...?

                          (This recurring incongruity really trips my trigger!)
