    In addition to the War on Terror we're fighting a war on ignorance and extremism. As many of you know I spent a year and a half of my life on the ground in Saudi Arabia and stories such as this are all-to-common. This man actually might win this case in court!

    While looking back on my time there I can honestly say female education beyond the 6th grade was looked upon as work of the devil. The fear or Genie's or Sorcerer's is real in the backward world of the Radical Muslim. No wonder the technology the USA uses scares the living daylights out of them and makes them go the extreme lengths of suicide bombing and terror to fight the change which seems inevitable.

    As long as there is ignorance there will be war...

    Are you saying that we are in a war because of the way they treat women? If you are against mistreatment of women you should lobby to outlaw alcohol (ask any cop, booze is involved in close to all spousal abuse).
    First the war was caused by their nukes
    Then to get rid of Saddam
    Then to "spread democracy"
    now to help the poor Muslim women

    ...And they called Kerry a Flipflopper!!!

    Danr,
    That is an amazing amount of ridicoulous assumptions based on absolutely nothing. Each line has no common link to the one above it. Is this some new form of poetry I haven't heard about?

    Oh I forgot I was talking to Republicans.

    BD seems to be saying that we are in a war with Islam because they mistreat their women. Well we also mistreat women right here in the USA (and booze usually plays a role in it). That is why I suggested that outlawing booze would help end abuse of women more than a war on Islam.
    Now the next part is a comment on how the reason for going to war keeps changing (the current reason presented here is to end the abuse of women), yet they called Kerry a flipflopper.

    So you see no link between booze and abuse of women?

    Oh you had and have one. Your avatar suggests you've joined the worship of a man who would kill people for the simple "fault" of disagreeing with him. Which was why he always chose to live in undemocratic societies.

    You forgot to mention that Che also has killed children, not to mention tons of other people. I'm glad he was executed without trial.

    The one thing that hasn't changed, is we all think of Danr as The Village Idiot!!! He only reinforces this belief when he post like this last thread.:whistle:

    Students Fail Class, Beat Up Teacher
    Arab News

    JEDDAH, 17 June 2006 — And the problem of student violence against teachers continues. The Arabic daily Al-Watan reported yesterday that three high school students in Uhd Rafeeda beat up their teacher for giving them failing grades. In front of classmates and bystanders the lads shamelessly assaulted their teacher. The teacher was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment while the youths were hauled off to jail pending an investigation by local cops. The Kingdom’s high school teachers often fear reprisals from students when grades come out.

    If you want to see violence go to inner city Baltimore.

    No Danr, I don't want to see violence. Nor do I want to see ignorance, but in the middle east both go hand in hand. That's what this thread is about, not about women & alcohol & violence in Baltimore. Now don't you owe us an avatar change?

    I will get to it. But my point stands that we have the same probs as the Muslims.
