#1 The world should be outraged. But it's not. This is the religion of peace. No better eaxpmle can exists for the absolute seperation of church and state. Anyone who claims islam is trustworthy has feces for brains.

We are too trust these same people to not use nuclear weapons if they should obtain them? Right. Europe get you head out of your ass.

I am not sure who you are referring to here, the Iranian mullahs or AQ extremists. AQ loose cannons-yes, definitely they'd use nuclear weapons, in a heartbeat, but not likely directed at Europe. Why for? They gaining control through immigration and birth rates. Europe is their future state.

As for Iranian mullahs, no, IMO. The mullahs are quite happy to be powerful and in control of a potentially very rich nation to feather their own secret Swiss bank accounts. The mullahs just want the nukes as a defensive deterrrent to US regime change ideas. It strikes me that the mullahs are similar to the weasel running N.K. - evil and power hungry but not committed to having their own faces blown off in a retalitory nuke strike from the West. But Islamic nation states are a concern because extremist individuals like AQ members, who hang out in places like Iran and Pakistan, could manage to get their hands on the nukes stored in those nations.

#3 We must respect their culture. One man's stoning is another man's freedom fighter.

#5 Stoning in it's traditional sense was used to share the death of the victim with an entire village. It went something like this.

The victim was staked to the ground and a sturdy, but not to heavy board was placed on them. Each villager, in turn, would pick up a hand-sized stone and place it on the board, as the weight increased in small increments, the person was slowly crushed to death.

Makes one part of the total justice system. No abstensions allowed!
