Why is it that the Islamic people seem content to be enslaved to a religion. That's right enslaved, they have no freedoms especially the women. If they blow themselves up and take out an 'infidel'; well they are going to have x number of virgins in heaven. The United States was formed to get away from religious persecutions and you people (Muslims) are trying to get us to accept your ridiculous tenets, I don't think so.
Iraq, as well as other Mid-East countries have a perfect opportunity to become a democratic (people run the government, not dictators or Imams) country and they are squabbling over whose "Allah" is better jeesh give me a break.
If a Civil war erupts, might as well just stick your heads in the sand ......
