response to Ghulam Muhammed

I often wonder how Muslims feel they have the moral high ground to lecture other groups about the evils of imperialism. When non-Arab Muslims (like our Mumbai friend) devote their entire lives to praying towards an ARAB city, adopting strict ARABIC-only reading/recitation rules of their scriptural texts, pilgrimaging to ARAB cities, adopting ARAB names like "Muhammed", "Ali", and "Aisha", peppering their daily conversations with ARABIC phrases (assalmu alaykum, anyone?).....one wonders just who really imperialized WHOM?

Given the above, it's quite apparent that the real core of ISLAM =

I
Serve and
Love the
Arab
Mind

By the way, our Mumbai friend can go ahead and believe 9/11 was an inside neo-con conspiracy....I'll do likewise and believe that the Muslims engineered the entire Crusades from the inside, as a hegemonic pretext to take over the Byzantine empire. I dare Muslims to prove otherwise, given they have even less evidence with the Crusades than they have with 9/11. I mean, why care about truth when it appears all any of us want are worldviews cherry-picked to suit our biases and desires?
