This is my comment on only the title of the article or posting. I read only a little of it. It was too long, too tedious, and full of too much circumlocution!
Before I begin, let me tell you right here and now – and for free, too, to boot – that Tony Blair was not The UK (or Britain) and George Bush isn’t The USA!
How typical of the Arabs to associate Countries and Nations with Individuals!
BY GOD!
As for the present Pope; I reserve my sarcastic and scorching remarks and expletives!
BY GOD AGAIN!
It is true, and I agree, that the Reform of Islam is neither Bush’s nor the Pope’s business.
However, I do not think or believe that Bush and/or the Pope are trying to Reform Islam.
I think and believe that what they are trying to do is remind Islamic Countries in general, and Moslems in particular, of their duties toward their Religion – a Religion that has nothing to do with the whims and quirks of Obsessed Madmen who misinterpret and misuse Islam in an attempt to serve their own purposes and achieve their own aims and goals, regardless of the costs in lives, limbs, and properties.
Also, what about the Blasphemers and Blemishers, if not destroyers and mutilators, of Islam - the above-mentioned Obsessed Madmen (oh yes! You know them all well) – who order or send poor (as in poverty), misguided, misinformed, misled, manipulated, and exploited illiterate, ignorant, and innocent people to kill themselves and other helpless and innocent people, too, in the same process – mostly civilians – with Keys to Paradise tied around their necks or put in their pockets, and the promise of Virgin Houris awaiting them at the gates of Paradise, BUT WILL NOT DO IT THEMSELVES?
I WONDER WHY!
DON’T THEY WANT TO GO TO PARADISE? I mean, DON’T THEY WANT TO GO THERE AND GET THEIR SHARE OF VIRGINS BEFORE THEY’RE ALL TAKEN? OR ARE THE VIRGINS RESERVED FOR THE FOOLS, THE NAÏVE, AND THE OBTUSE MORONS ONLY?
Instead of using their thousands of millions of dollars in opening universities and schools Etc, and educating them; or establishing factories, businesses, hospitals, and construction companies Etc, and employing them; or founding organizations and enlightening them, THEY SEND THEM TO THEIR AND OTHERS’ DEATHS – WITH KEYS TO A FAKE PARADISE TIED AROUND THEIR NECKS AND THE PROMISE OF ABSTRACT VIRGINS – IMAGINARY VIRGINS!
I ASK YOU!
BY GOD; ONE MORE TIME!
AND HORSE-SHIT, TOO, TO BOOT!
