And which part of the Muslim community are you?

Mary Anne — 9/9/2004 3:12:07 AM (archived)

Calling Muslims "terrorists" is not the way to help those who aren't to talk about the problem.

That is what I'm getting at, no matter how much you may want to change the subject.

How many articles I found out there is not the issue. I couldn't even read the ones in Arabic. The issue is, you don't get the privilege of leading their discussion.
