Excuse us, John Graham

Mr. Graham, please understand that we are not as smart as you. You are the intelligent liberal professor type, and we are the redneck conservative Homer Simpson type. And of course, you are right. Militant Muslims are not racists, nor are they Nazis. But I believe that even a great man like you will agree with an idiot like me that Militant Muslims are like you... they believe that they are better and smarter than the rest. It is written in the great book of Islam, the Koran, "If you pray to the Trinity, then your abode will be fire." Here's another you might like. "If you are friend to the Christian or the Jew, then you are one yourself."

Explain something to me, Mr Liberal Brainiac. If this is a holy war, and the terrorists are acting out in the name of Allah, how is that they can kill women and children in mosques, which is forbidden by muslim law to be used as a vessel of any shape or form for warfare?

You call what the terrorists are doing "fighting"? Roadside bombs, attacks on mosques and marketplaces, forcing people to kneel in front of an internet camera and sawing their heads off with a dull knife?

You say that Muslims are not racists because they kill for what religion people are, not for who they are. Have the Sunnis not been praticing genecide against the Shiites? Have the Sunnis not been killing the Kurds?Genecide has become very popular under the rule of Saddam Hussein.

One more point I'd like to make, professor, if you will allow me......I don't "remember" the Crusades, since it happened one thousand years ago, but some of us Homer Simpsons have read about it.If I recollect correctly, King Richard was fighting ... where?.....oh yes, he was fighting in ancient Persia. And who was he killing?....Persians I think. Well, hell, professor, I ain't got no problem wit' dat.
