I notice someone has decided to not discuss the subject of the thread.

I guess their sense of fun was equally matched (or perhaps exceeded) by all of the people I heard or read in the West who gleefully said about Afghanistan and Iraq (and also Iran), "turn the country into a parking lot", and "nuke them back into the stone age". The thing about those people who were supposedly celebrating on 9/11 is that the people who we are told were celebrating had been living under military occupation for several generations. On the other hand, there is some evidence that that never really happened.

Sometimes the truth is incendiary. But that's no reason to try to hide it or pretend it doesn't exist.

The thing about being meek is that it doesn't suppose it self to be more human than other people. So I would turn that one around and say it to those who think that Muslims are inherently less human than other people, or inherently more evil.
