......one resorts to insults, when one has lost the debate......

.....if you feel that Islam is capable of evolution, and capable of sustaining a 20th century culture, then debate that on its merits......

.....if you feel that you have nothing to rebut the premise of this debate with, then feel free to insult any and all people, I mean if we were in the ME, you could just come over to my house and kill me, thereby proving my point.....

That's YOUR idea? Really?

......Kamel Ataturk's actually....he considered Islam to be a form of ignorance........

......but while ME leaders are careful in their words, many countries are now taking up his methods to limit the effects of Islam.......

......this can't have hit you like a shock ? I am only saying what those guys are doing, but they don't have Ataturk's courage to say outloud what they are doing.......

......the debate is, are they right ?......

No, the "debate" is your peculiar notion of social engineering. #16 | Posted by Zed

.....Islam is a form of social engineering, heartily promoted by the Taliban, Ahmadinnejad, Hamas, Hezbollah and other "social engineering" organizations.......

......that, I think, is why the new directions are being considered by progressive ME states.......

.....what country are you in ?...and from ?.....

So? So are you.

.....I'm not in charge of anything or anyone.....

....I am only engineering my life...........

....what country are you in ? ...or from ?......

....and what do you think of the social engineering in Iran right now ??.......

....the true believers set up an Islamic state...but ...the educated Muslims are rising up in revolution against it......

.......so which are the "social engineers"....the fundamentalists that tried to turn back the clock, or the revolutionaries who want their freedom from a feudal system ?.......
