Subject: RE: BS: Ham Sandwich Debacle
meself: That about sums it up. The internet allows for lots of shit to be smeared on lots of people. We see the same thing with Obama and folks capitalizing on the distrust in the US for Muslims. We see the same thing on lots of issues. I think all religions with few exceptions (I say that to cover my ass because although I can't think of any exceptions, no doubt someone will call my attention to one three minutes after I post this) are getting their damned faces into issues that are anything but spiritual, and Muslims today are about as bright as Christians were during the Crusades. I cannot recall who said "Religion cannot be exported" or words to that effect, but that person was right. They are specific to areas in which they originated because for the people in those areas the religion served a purpose. Today, religions are fast becoming a tool to manipulate the masses, and I'm not so sure the m should be on that word.
