You have a lot more patience than I do, fisking him at such length, Kat.<BR/><BR/>I also took a look at some of his other works on that site; he's a general all-purpose anti-American loon, sort an Islamic John Kerry, Live from London.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152221.post-1113930595815456092005-04-19T12:09:00.000-05:002005-04-19T12:09:00.000-05:00Kender..I did enjoy the show. it was quite funny....Kender..I did enjoy the show. it was quite funny. Very irreverent. The free for all was great.<BR/><BR/>We need to get you advertised, dude.<BR/><BR/>donal...that is the truth and just like Christianity I imagine the split in Islam will become even more multiplicitous and pronounced even though no one in Islam would want to admit it (no "true" Muslim anyway). <BR/><BR/>It is a point in fact that no religion survives contact with the rest of the world intact and it is also true that there are always people who fight against it.<BR/><BR/>Mr. Zakaria's version of Islam will most likely be like vatican catholicism vs. American catholicism. the only difference is that catholics haven't blown anything up (lately) in the name of their religion.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05208095650375780838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152221.post-1113910581480945462005-04-19T06:36:00.000-05:002005-04-19T06:36:00.000-05:00Excellent post Kat.

It's intresting to note that in several places the author acknowledges that Islam is changing- for the worst in his opinion but for the better in mine. So when the democracy in Iraq (I'm assuming it acknowledges womens equality) gets going and becomes a powerhouse in the region (as it will a free society being superior) it will force change on islam because if the religion is shown to be obviously wrong every day it must change or die. So creating democracy in Iraq may lead to an Islam the rest of us can live with.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152221.post-1113905856280777142005-04-19T05:17:00.000-05:002005-04-19T05:17:00.000-05:00Yes...I think tonights show will be on islam and i...Yes...I think tonights show will be on islam and it's teachings and why they subjugate women.<BR/><BR/>And again you will be the lead off story.<BR/><BR/>I may have to put you on payroll when I get one.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the calls and support.
