Barbarians at the gate

[mac]

Came across an interesting article about our Muslim brothers. Consider this:
"In international test scores of high school students in reading, math and science, not one Muslim nation places in the top 30. Take away oil and gas, and from Algeria to Iran these nations would have little to offer the world. Iran would have to fall back on exports of carpets, caviar and pistachio nuts.

Not one Muslim nation is a member of the G-8 economic powers or the BRIC-four emerging powers -- Brazil, Russia, India, China.

In the 20th century, the world saw the rise of the Asian "tigers" -- South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong. Where are the Muslim tigers?

A few years back, the gross domestic product of the entire Arab world was only equal to Spain's. Take away oil and gas, and its exports were equal to Finland's." by Pat Buchannan
By the year 2050 they will be the majority people in Europe. Draw your own conclusions.

I thought this would be about the barbarians we see every day at the wash.
I am in the process of cleaning a apt. from a tenant from jordan, and have heard many muslim stories, and not too impressed. He had some chinese mecca that made funny music that he prayed either too or with. Smoked a hookah, and ate alot of greasy food with very smelly spices. They are very controlling on their wives, and not very nice. Alot like rednecks.

Although there may be some merit in covering your wife with a black sheet, I don't think it will go over well here. But you never know. I still can't figure out why women liked Achey breaky heart so much either.

Sir, at the end of your first post, you say draw your own conclusions. I have watched this forum for quite a while now, occasionally commented, occasionally asked for help. This is by far the best forum of its kind I have used. That being said, I have generally ignored your non-car wash comments, as they are of an obvious slant. I consider myself a conservative, thru and thru. But the conclusion I draw is that you are red neck biggot that is a huge part of the problem, and very little a part of the solution. While aware and watchful of the muslim fanatics, i embrace my muslim brothers that persue the same goals as myself and refuse to paint them all with the same brush. if i am not mistaken, u also posted about aids awareness, claiming basically every one deserved it that had it. i call bs. While the very thought of anal intercourse disgusts me and flies in the face of my moral beliefs, god has also instructed me not to judge others.
Again, you conveniently paint with a very broad brush. at the end of the day, my savior jesus christ hung out with the very people you despise, the lepers, the whores, the thieves etc...not the aristocricy you obviously worship. in this christmas season, have some grace, buddy, and love your enemies, do good to those who harm you. i love ya brother.

Well Chad, I guess I don't have to worry about sending you a Christmas card this year. Which is fine as I realized long ago that I wont please everyone. You however do have a couple of good things going for you. You recognize that this site is one of the best for operators in this industry, and you also profess an admiration for Jesus and what He taught. I have no inherent hatred for gays, Jews, Christians, rednecks, democrats, or people that sell other brands of equipment than what I sell. I DO however have a strong bias/hatred of ignorance, and all that comes from it. The gay community should be marching in the streets defending their beliefs in strong relationships and responsability. Instead they let these jerks with pot bellies march in gay pride parades. The average muslim should be handing over the radicals that have perverted their faith. When was the last time you heard a muslim complain about a fatwah being issed about beheading a cartoonist? You don't because they just seem to accept it, and that really pi##es me off sometimes. Feel free to criticize my opionions, and my character. I can take it. But please point out ANY discrepency in the facts that I post. ANY. None of us will ever agree on opinion. It's why some prefer vanilla, blondes, or corvetts. But I am happy to discover errors in facts I post. It makes me a better, well informed person. Now go in God's grace. And feel free to embrace your muslim brothers. It's just that for some reason, all the ones I meet in Florida run dirty, stinking C-stores and crappy car washes.

good one mep! i try hard, and always fall short. mac, thanks for the response, in all honesty, id probably drink a beer with ya and argue until 3 am some night, just been reading your posts for years, and had to get it all off my chest, fyi, my mom tells me im a redneck...so you may be in good company, you make a couple valid points in your last post, i know a couple practicing muslims that have no desire to blow me up, i had to speak up for them...also, i live in kansas, where a fundamentalist nutburger shot and killed Dr. Tiller (late term abortion doc) in his church one day, we have fanatics everywhere...god bless, merry christmas.
