Al Qaeda is a convenient scapegoat for people who want us to forget that A-Q is, in fact, a brand name for thousands of unconnected groups of fundies who plan their evil deeds alone. <br /><br />Why should, for example, the Muslim Brotherhood gangs so powerful in Egypt need A-Q for anything?SnoopyTheGoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00920565522498918323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-44226911562078897432011-01-03T20:58:03.137+00:002011-01-03T20:58:03.137+00:00I hope they can make a difference.

If moderate, "reasonable" Islam does not publicly and effectively start to claim the moral "high ground" for their interpretation of their religion, then it is not surprising (even if misguided) that Islam is seen by more and more people as a backward, savage belief and recipe for life.Francis Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00422476000328664994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-83328557231000274302011-01-01T20:33:44.632+00:002011-01-01T20:33:44.632+00:00And again and again sadlyAnd again and again sadlyjams o donnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17315325008175184363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-92142183442395039402011-01-01T20:20:54.515+00:002011-01-01T20:20:54.515+00:00Makes one bleedin' despair (again)...Makes one bleedin' despair (again)...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-45161139593891263032011-01-01T19:07:38.667+00:002011-01-01T19:07:38.667+00:00I wish it were not the case but I can't see 20...I wish it were not the case but I can't see 2011 being much better than 2010 in that respectjams o donnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17315325008175184363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-48278071023400323832011-01-01T19:04:33.562+00:002011-01-01T19:04:33.562+00:00So senseless.
