The discussion centers on the perception of George W. Bush's intelligence and the factors influencing his election as president. Participants argue that intelligence is not a prerequisite for election, as campaign management can compensate for personal shortcomings. There is a critique of the American political system, suggesting that it allows for the election of leaders who may not represent the populace's best interests. The conversation also touches on the complexities of public opinion, with some asserting that many Americans view Bush unfavorably due to his policies and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Ultimately, the dialogue reflects a broader concern about the implications of leadership choices in a democratic society.

Ever since the Trade Center Massacre, I have been trying to avoid this very conclusion, that Muslims place no value on human life. And now a Muslim is telling me that it is correct!
Wow. I have the same dilemna. Even after reading it I still won't accept it. I have too much faith in the human species. Maybe they are just confused or brainwashed?
i am prety sure he is referring to their own lives, in the sense that good Muslim is not afraid of death.
How can a person who doesn't even value his OWN life place any value on the life of others?

Ok, so only non-humans can be muslims? Sorry, but the PRIMARY instinct of all humans is selfishness.

This topic is almost as dumb as George W. Bush.

He is not nearly as dumb as that post Rage

One Muslim does not speak for all Muslims. I'm sure many of my fellow Americans are glad one American (say me for instance) does not speak for all Americans.

I think I speak for all Americans when I say this. :wink:

Before jumping to any conclusions, I went to one of my own dead topics and tried to change the Title. I thought I had succeded, the title changed in the window I was viewing, but when I went back the next day, the topic still had the old title. (Just so nobody thinks Zargawee is diliberately keeping this offensive title after saying he had changed it).

Fess up now, people...I can't be the only one who went and tried this, right? But for those who haven't tried to do it yourself, I just thought the results should be stated here in public view.

anti-Zargawee not anti-Iraq

You know... Zargawee is a genuine @sshole.

I'm not even including this thread. Hell, I know I don't support the war... let alone any war. I'm talking about his complete disrespect for women.

He has made it clear on several occasions that he views women as being inferior to men. He has made comments alluding to the fact that he considers women who have premarital sex to be whores.

This is not an uncommon view for Muslim men to have. Many of them violently control their women, and give them no freedom to make their own choices. In America, we call that a violation of civil rights.

Let's ask him a few questions, directly:

1) Zargawee, if you were in love with a woman, and you asked her to marry you, but later you found out she was not a virgin, would you dump her?

2) Zargawee, if you were in love with a woman, and you asked her to marry you, but later you found out she had been raped, would you dump her?

3) Zargawee, if you were in love with a woman, and you asked her to marry you, but later you had premarital sex with her, would you dump her?

4) If you broke off a relationship because of questions 1, 2 or 3, would you resort to violence?

5) Do you feel that if you broke off a relationship because of questions 1, 2 or 3, your responsive actions would be justified by your god?

Don't take this the wrong way. I'm not saying we should bomb Muslims because they are insecure with themselves and their small members. I don't think we should bomb them at all. I just wanted to point out the fact that whether or not he meant to offend us by posting that we Americans are collective morons, Zargawee is still an @sshole.
