Fouad Ajami, a pretty famous Int' Affairs prof at Johns Hopkins, thinks the Qu'ran doesn't preach mass murder unless things are taken literally and out of context much like if someone were to read Leviticus and use some of those passages to assail Christianity.

Seriously, the Quran was written centuries ago during a time of constant holy war, of course it says things like that. It just hasn't been largely changed since then, so you're NOT supposed to take it literally. Thats why they're called "fundamentalists". Why else would they want to go back to life in the 6th century, oppressing everything modern. Extreme hard liners that take the literal content and twist it to fit their agendas.

Hey Goodspeed,

You seem to have lived a pretty interesting life, you should post some pics of the places you've been. It would be cooler to see pics of Jordan and Palestine.

Nows the best time I guess, I never post pics and I hardly ever tell people where I've lived (I just say Virginia or California)....i have a few pics with me I can show here though





Palestine/Jerusalem
