This proves that Islam is a backwards religon practiceing lifestyles of Arab life over hundreds of years ago. Just look how
they dress, just like Jesus did over 2000 years ago!!!! Does anyone need any more proof than that? Islam is proof that it is a backwards relic of the past. Islam is against modernism.

Creating Israel was the biggest mistake in world history.

I guess you just aren't quite intelligent enough to grasp the fact that there were no 'Islamic terrorists' until Israel stole their land.

Federal prosecutors Thursday took steps to seize four U.S. mosques and a Fifth Avenue skyscraper owned by a nonprofit Muslim organization long suspected of being secretly controlled by the Iranian government.

In what could prove to be one of the biggest counterterrorism seizures in U.S. history, prosecutors filed a civil complaint in federal court seeking the forfeiture of more than $500 million in assets of the Alavi Foundation and an alleged front company.

The assets include Islamic centers in New York City, Maryland, California and Houston, more than 100 acres (40 hectares) of land in Virginia, and a 36-story office tower in New York.

A fact which would come as a HUGE surprise to United States Marines who fought Islamic Terrorists in Tripoli in 1801.

Or to General Charles Gordon and the garrison of Khartoum in 1885. Slaughtered and hacked to pieces by the troops of Muhammad Ahmed Al Mahdi.

Or to the million or so Armenian Xtians who died at the hands of Turkish Muslims in 1917.

You should probably take a minute and look up the word 'terrorist'.

Unless, of course, you like looking foolish, in that case, carry on!

Just because you think it does not make it so. The Barbary States, modern-day Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya, are collectively known to the Arab world as the Maghrib (“Land of Sunset”), denoting Islam's territorial holdings west of Egypt. With the advance of Mohammed's armies into the Christian Levant in the seventh century, the Mediterranean was slowly transformed into the backwater frontier of the battles between crescent and cross. Battles raged on both land and sea, and religious piracy flourished.

The Maghrib served as a staging ground for Muslim piracy throughout the Mediterranean, and even parts of the Atlantic. America's struggle with the terror of Muslim piracy from the Barbary States began soon after the 13 colonies declared their independence from Britain in 1776, and continued for roughly four decades, finally ending in 1815. http://www.nationalreview.com/

I notice the word 'terrorism' is conspicuously absent from your source.

As I noted, it wasn't 'terrorism'.

Daily Horoscope for November 29

Scorpio

You need to take time out to spend with your partner today as he/she probably has something they need to share with you. If you don't take the time now, while empathetic Neptune is stimulated by the caring Moon, you'll find that tomorrow won't go very smoothly. Take this opportunity to work things out, even if it's the last thing you want to do today. A little sacrifice is called for.
