    We put the Shah in power, the students picked the Ayatollah.

    Ex Extremist Fights Jihadist Ideology

    Right up there with the al-Sauds and the Mullahs that run Iran.

    Ex Extremist Fights Jihadist Ideology

    I find it funny that you have to reach so far back in history to find examples. You know as well as I do that the American government does not currently put women to death for things like adultery that are just par for the course all over the Islamic world. America has done some really...

    Ex Extremist Fights Jihadist Ideology

    No true Scotsman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia They sure seem to believe that they are following Sharia and I can easily say that I would lay down my life to prevent anything even remotely like that from being adopted here. When the church (or mosque) gets involved in government people...

    Ex Extremist Fights Jihadist Ideology

    You are confused (as usual), honor killings are cultural and have nothing to do with Sharia.

    Ex Extremist Fights Jihadist Ideology

    We didn't find natural resources, the Russians found them decades ago and the Chinese will probably end up mining them. Ask yourself why American oil companies don't have any contracts on Iraqi oilfields. The taliban could have saved themselves a lot of trouble by handing over bin Laden...

    Ex Extremist Fights Jihadist Ideology

    You have got to be kidding. The Taliban TOOK the nation by force, helped by funding and equipment provided by your owners (the al-Sauds).

    Ex Extremist Fights Jihadist Ideology

    Give examples. The only 2 countries I know that practice what they call Sharia are Saudi Arabia and Iran, both of who execute homosexuals. Islam as it is practiced in both countries is not compatible with western style democracy.

    ¡Hola, Obama!

    Sounds like something you should take up with your state's attorney general but then again he would just ask for proof.

    WikiLeaks editor on Apache combat video: No excuse for US killing civilians

    I didn't see anything particularly damaging in what I had seen but a lot of stuff that fit the bill for "raw intelligence". One mentions bin Laden taking a trip to N.Korea with a 6 foot tall Pashtun and some Iranians to buy weapons. Anyone who has followed Afghanistan for longer than a few...

    ¡Hola, Obama!

    So you are angry that we finally have a president with class?

    ¡Hola, Obama!

    I'll let you in on a little secret, he probably wouldn't have vacationed to the Gulf Coast pre-oil. He and his wife both have law degrees, they were successful people before he became president.

    Oakland Okays Pot Factory

    Something a lot of people are forgetting is what legalization will do to the price of pot. Marijuana costs almost nothing to produce and when people can grow it in plowed acre plots (instead of in closets, national parks, forests...) the price will drop even lower. RAND did a study predicting...

    Oakland Okays Pot Factory

    It has far more uses than just for chemo patients. That is why so many national advocacy groups endorse it, especially with the advent of vaporizers.

    Oakland Okays Pot Factory

    Federal government can only go after interstate commerce, this is intrastate. Many other states are trying this with guns, passing laws saying if we make guns for use in our state only then they are exempt from all federal gun laws. If you want to complain about immigration do it in your own...

    Obama Wants to Jail Americans with New Law

    Can you cite the case of the woman being held for 11 months? I only know of 1 American citizen that was detained without charge for that long and his case is pretty well known.

    Obama Wants to Jail Americans with New Law

    Which makes the title absolutely hilarious.

    Concealed handgunners get express lane in Texas Capital.

    I have a Texas CHL and if you had the cash, the instructor made it clear that you would get a license. I took my class on a bad weather day in the winter and the instructor informed us that we would not be going to the range to test but instead we all shot perfect scores! Our CHL system is...

    Third US carrier, 4,000 Marines augment US armada opposite Iran

    Saudi citizens attacked us. To say that "Saudi Arabia" attacked America on 9/11 is like saying America attacked America during the OKC bombing.
