Unbe****inglievable. I'm beginning to think the only major religion with measurable levels of sanity among its devout members on this planet is Buddhism. Good grief.
Well, Buddhism isn't really all that great. The Buddhism we have here, in the West, is a distilled, non-violent form. In Japan, they beat their students if they cannot answer the riddles that their sensei or whatever presents to them. They're beaten to get their "ego" out of them, and what better way to gain true humility, than to be subjected to physical violence?
I wonder if the nutjobs who are doing this actually knows the difference between Sunni, Shia, and Sufi Islam. The imam in charge of the project is a Sufi Muslim. One might try explaining that they're the most peaceful kind of Muslims, but they're just Muslims in the eyes of the fanatic. A Muslim is a terrorist, and the troops are soldiers of God who will go to heaven for liberating Iraq and Afghanistan. But the thing is, they don't want the mud-people of terrorist descent to have the same rights that they do, even in America. If they can't even have freedom in America, what's the point in freeing the **** out of them in Afghanistan and Iraq? You'd think the right-wing would seize this opportunity and give their full support for this mosque, as an example of what they say they're fighting for in the above countries. It's all so very confusing!
