ONE, and it was posted years ago but still the beat goes on with some of the same posters playing the same rhythm. Nothing new, nothing of any informative use.
There is nothing being said here that the Mudcat has not heard before in various formats. So you are correct in your observation Michael. In this reade's opinion anyway.
It would be far more balanced if a follower of the Islamic faith posted their views then we would actually have a balanced viewpoint on this topic.
There is discussion and then there is Ego tripping.
Google, Blue clicks, Web Reference Library information! Anyone who is interested in a subject can obtain this with the click of a keyboard but it does not, by any means, suggest a deep rooted knowledge of anything other than how to use a Computer.
How many of the regular Posters on this particular subject have been to the Middle East, Palestine, Israel, Iran and seriously attempted to understand things from that perspective and how many have sat at a Computer fighting a never ending imaginary verbal crusade based on the premise that in some obscure way they have attained an in depth knowledge of the subject matter.
Most of these same topic threads appear, to this reader anyway, to be mearly a display in arrogance and ego.
BS at is best/worst.
Less and less people however are even bothering to open the endless same topic threads.
Perhaps a section below the line just for this subject. It certainly could support one and in doing so would stop pushing other Threads off the list on a daily basis.
