Piggy-backing

Submitted by David W. Lincoln (Canada), Feb 5, 2007 at 18:42

Even though the pig is held in ultra-low esteem, the habit of piggy-backing onto others is deemed to be acceptable practice (at least to these eyes) of those identified with the crescent moon. As long as "It is written in the Koran" or "Because Mohammed would not allow it" are used as the beginning points for why it is okay for the West to have mosques (but it is totally inappropriate to have churches in Muslim lands) - those identified with the crescent moon place more and more obstacles onto themselves. Which leads to more frustration with the infidel because there is more to feed the green-eyed monster. If anyone wants to set up a pattern where the participant comes up short - there is no improving on the Muslim model where Allah is only transcendent, and people are left to their own devices to progress when life is cyclical.
