I fear that all this chit chat is for naught!

I think that we are all wasting our time. Islam will never capitulate nor moderate. I buy cigarettes from a little store owned by muslims down the street from where I live. I asked him how he felt about the current situation with islam. He told me that he has become non religious and that they are all bad. The next day I went to the store and the door was locked. I could see through the window that he had his carpet out and was paying his dues to mecca. I do not patronize his store any more.

The only diference between a moderate and a militant is the length of their beards...
