#1 "But then I found Islam and felt that this offered me a different path."

Be careful what you ask for...

#2 that's nice they feel comfortable wearing the scarf. It's when they get beaten for not wearing it that they need to reflect on their religion

Killing innocent civilians
Honor Killings

#4 How long before South Africa goes under? I don't exactly think this is what Mandela and the ANC had in mind.

#5 I work with a bunch of South African expat's, according to them SA has already gone under. It's getting uglier by the day. They say Botha and DeKlerk did the civilized world a favor because they knew the change would come and the new ruling majority couldn't be left with nukes, - that's the real reason they gave them up.
Now that the moongod death cult plague is taking root there, we should probably be even more thankful those nukes are gone.

#6 Well, at least it's a Politically Correct meltdown.

#8 I wonder how long it takes before Iran starts pushing SA to send old experts that were involved in their old Nuke program?

#9 I wonder just how much racial bias will play into this. Mullahf*****s preaching that Christianity is the "white man's" tool of oppresion

#11 I don't know if any of you have read articles by Dr. Walter Williams or heard him speak - he sometimes subs for Rush. He paints a scary future scenario about S. Africa. Fyi, Dr. Williams is an articulate black economist who is a professor at a US college, whose name escapes me at this moment. Dr. Williams would agree with all your comments. The S. African president, Mr. Thabo Mbeki, is a big commie pal of Robert Mugabe. He's also the same moron who claimed for several years that AIDS did not exist in his country and that AIDS had no connection to promiscuity and that AIDS drugs were worse than the disease itself. Sheesh. S. African ANC leaders hate whites and the West, so I have no doubt that Muslim "brown" power is appealing to them. Also the political leaders in S. Africa need a scapegoat to blame their miserable handling of the economy there. S. Africa has a 30% unemployment rate, its GDP has nose dived since 1989, and its homicide rate is one of the highest in the world and it has the highest rape rate in the world. Nasty.

#12 Williams (as he refers to himself) is awesome: smart, concerned without the victimhood and self-pity, preaches self-disciplne and success, and an American first

#13 Man, these people must be f-ing miserable. You have to be for Islam to look attractive. Shudder.
