Ray:

You're the one who brought Bush into the argument. It's not my fault you can't debate any topic without eventually falling back on "Bush is Just Evil."

Contrary to your Rayfacts(TM), Islam is neither a race, an ethnicity nor a regional trait. It is a belief system.

You need to stop defending beliefs that you would otherwise find objectionable simply because the people holding them in this instance are, in your mind "oppressed minorities" threatened by the "evil" George W. Bush.

If you want to say that Bush has bungled the war on terror, fine. That's a reasonable position.

If you want to say that Christians should try to be more tolerant, lest they turn into people like the radical Muslims, I could respect that.

But for you, or anyone else, to be so caught in political correctness, and fuzzy-headed moral relativism that you stick your head in the stand and pretend that radical Islam isn't an ongoing threat, or is no worse than any other religion, well, that's just dangerous as hell. Not just for people like yourself (gay Jewish liberals), but the rest of the world too.
