It's all such a crock.

All about $$$$$ always. So follow the cash and we 'll find reason for this insanity.

All are drinking the cool aid. CNN, Fox and all the rest are serving and we are drinking. This 60 min bit perfect example. Did they reference beheadings and maybe even throw in a little clip?

The story was actually very good.It focused more on the Jihadi grass roots effort with disenfranchised youths and how social media is being used for recruitment.It also went into why/how these fundamentalist hijack mainstream Islam and their perverted horrific view of a secular Muslim only way of life.Sharia law and the halting of all freedoms that are not the twisted whacked out nonsense beliefs of these pieces of human excrement.It is my belief they are trying to fuel a major race war as they think the west is anti Muslim.

How can they NOT think the west is anti-Muslim? And when I say west, I mean the governments cuz I have a shitload of friends who don't give a fuck I'm Muslim. And rr, the question isn't directed at you, just making a point.

Which is TOTALLY condisending because in Islam when the angel came to Mohammad in the cave, he told him,"read, learn to read and educate yourself."

Saw that this morningTotally horrible.

BB,to your point about the west view of Muslims and the pre conceptions we harbour.I was watching last weeks Anthony Bourdain from Iran.I was really taken back.I had a vision in my head formed from the hostage crisis and the ayatollah and movies.But watching the hospitality and grace which citizens welcomed him into their homes for meals and friendship and the smiles not hate a westerner was met with really gave me encouragement about what is possible.I know it makes you think about blanket statements like "we should just bomb the fuckers" and the like.It puts a human and positive face on differences between Muslim and western cultures.worth a watch on CNN.

At the base of it they are people just like us who may have strong political or religious beliefs, but when we sit down to break bread and share water we realize how similar our hopes and dreams are.

Saw that as well RR. I actually hit up hedonist and reminded to watch. Bourdain is awesome bro, he doesn't give a shit about what people think about his views. He went to Lebanon/Palestine/Israel couple years back and all hell broke loose. Anyways ya man, I get the same when I travel around the world and I've been to the Middle East. People love to meet other people. They're humans just like us, can separate politics with just friendships. Like RGambs said in his post, they're just like us. And they are. Good shit guys, glad u guys watched it.

Trust me, us Muslims know and rightfully feel you guys have legitimate questions when it comes to Islam. I would to, especially with the way the media portrays us. It's hard for every side when it comes to this fucked up situation the world seems to be in. Why is there a war against Islam? I have my own feelings as do others. I just wish it was as easy as breaking bread with some tea possibly watching a champions league game together, better yet catching a pearl jam show together, maybe it is as easy as that. I'm glad I have friends who don't give a shit about religion and can judge someone by that persons actions as a human. When it comes to friends, I could do no wrong. Man, this new batch is mad strong, fucken riddling like a fucker right now. )

Love Bourdain and his attitude! I watched that episode in full this past weekend. Brought back some nice memories of the summer I spent in Tehran, mid-70s. In terms of the people and their warmth and welcoming nature, not much has changed since then.

And the food! Even my meat-and-potatoes husband has come around; my mom couldn't be happier.

And may I say, you're once of the best Muslims...errr, people...I know

In a related but unrelated statement Iranians were a exotically pretty population.Some really pretty ladies.Even my wife commented.I think the Afgani ladies also have that look.

What's interesting is that people seem to forget the fact that we're all a product of exertion of control in some way, shape or form. It's telling to me that the very first amendment made to the Constitution is one protecting all religions equally (amongst other proposed liberties). I see this as significant because if there wasn't a notion of religious dominance, this part of the amendment wouldn't have been deemed necessary (necessary - and a topic contentious enough to bring up even before the beloved right to bear arms).

The original European colonialists were doing "God's work" when they travelled to America, and to say that the Constitution didn't draw from biblical texts, beliefs, or values seems fairly naive to me. The only difference is they would have integrated not only virtues from their religions, but also from their lifestyles back in Europe, and most likely, concepts which they thought would benefit their settlement project. So which is more destructive - religious law, or religious-inspired law, modernized, and with self-serving interests baked into it?
