Sulayman, as usual, apologizes for the horrors Muslims commit, as if each separate incident is an isolated, unconnected event.

Sulayman would have us believe Muslims killing innocent women and childredn in Sudan, Israel, Somalia, Southern Thailand, Southern Russia, Western China, Egpyt, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Bali discos, Tel Aviv night clubs, London buses, Spanish train stations, Pakistani funeral processions, Afghanistani wedding receptions, Iraqi pet bazaars, American skyscrapers and Fort Hood are all unconnected, isolated incidences having nothing to do with the common thread between each of them: Islam.

Yeah, Sulayman, I'm sure Nidal Hasan did it because he snapped when the military pressure became too much. I'm sure it had NOTHING to do with him being a devout Muslim, communicating with extremist Imans, keeping a diary filled with his hatred of America and shouting out "Allah Akbar" as he killed and wounded dozens. No way Nidal did it because of his Muslim studies about how Mohammed killed, raped and enslaved in his quest to spread Islam as far as he could.

In fact, Sulayman, I'll bet when Muslims beheaded Daniel Pearl while reading sections of the Koran justifying their brutality it also had nothing to do with Islam. And, while you and I are at it, I'll bet when the 19 mass murdering Muslims spoke of Jihad and the fight against America before they flew the planes into the World Trade Towers and the Pentagon that also had nothing to do with Islam. Is that right, Sulayman?

It's so hard to refute your argument Sulayman. Or, at least, it is hard to do so if one decides to shut one's eyes, cover one's ears and stick one's head in the ground as it seems you have done.
