Since you had trouble reading the first few times:
Madam,
1) This thread is not about Islam.
2) He was referring to Islamic fundamentalism.
3) Are you saying otherwise? You still haven't answered that.
4) People have said many a thing about my religion and I have countered. I also grew up in an Islamic fundamentalist state that is considered in this day to be the largest state sponsor of terrorism.
5) Again, should you want to sip coffee while remembering the virtues of Islamic fundamentalism, I am sure your native country will provide you with it during a stoning after they take your rights as a women away.
6) This thread is not about Islam.
7) This thread is not about Islam.

An interesting observation was made by my buddy who works in law enforcement out in California. Well, my buddy pays attention to the United States Secret Service details that tag along.

Quote:
Both Bush and Kerry details, have close protection agents that are primarily white males in the mid-30's to early 40's. President Bush has at least one black male agent on his team, Senator Kerry has one Filipino male agent, no blacks. So both Presidential candidates head to the Urban League on back to back days and Kerry does the NAACP gig. Bush has his same detail, Kerry on the other hand has substituted his white agents for three or four black Secret Service agents to help him work the rope line shaking hands. The next day, Senator Kerry is on the road again and surprise surprise, he has his white agents back on again.

Now this is in no way saying that he does not have black agents on his detail or that black USSS agents don't know how to do their job, but come on, you go to two events where the majority of the members are black and your agents are black, but when your back out on the road in rural 'white' America you switch back to your white guys. I don't think it is in the USSS charter to switch agents according to their race so that a candidate can look better in front of a certain audience.
Hmm...yes...interesting...
