Say it again, Slayhy

So I'm like a pagan? Really? That's so respectful, Slayhy, would you like it if I said that about you? So it's OK for you to insult me for my faith, but if anyone insults a Muslim, he get's murdered. And why is that? Because you think you're superior. And why is that? Because that's what you learned from the Koran, the Hadiths and your highly educated imam. Sorry, but you're completely wrong: we're equals. And the whole world is willing to deal with Muslims as equals, but Muslims refuse to deal with others as equals. And therein lies the problem. And therein lies why Muslims always see those ever-present "enemies of Islam" around every corner.

Don't blame God for the poverty and illiteracy that are the hallmarks of Muslim cultures. Don't blame God for the fact that little Spain translates more books into Spanish every year that have been translated into Arabic in 1000 years (Hitler's Mein Kamph being the main exception). And don't blame the USA. Blame yourselves and your 7^th century thinking, and please don't bring it to the West.

Slayhy, can you help me with a project of mine? I'm trying to find a Catholic priest or Protestant minister who has his own militia, you know, like an imam. Gosh, they're hard to find, I haven't found a single one yet. Look around for me, OK? Just look for those tall steeples all over the middle east and check it out, thanks.
