Tobacco is SACRED

I have been following recent news with great interest and I feel that in the spirit of equal opportunity, I as a descendant of the Ani-Yun-Wi-Ya.
(Total of all real people) should point out that I have found the lack of respect and Honor accorded the Sacred Herb of my Ancestors, highly offensive.

She probably doesn't wear a burkha either. Nice to hear a moderate Muslim voice. We need more, many more of them. Oooh boy is she in for a beating. She probably doesn’t wear a burkha either.

What does that have to do with the validity of her thesis? I'm simply saying that it sounds like more Islamic apologist BS. Jane,

However, it seems to me that this fire was easy to start, and keep going. The Islamic Public has embraced this "cartoon controversy" with quite a bit of gusto, I don't think it took a whole lot of encouragement. The writer of the above article wants to shift the blame for Islam's rage away from Islam and onto the governments of the region. Sorry, but I don't buy it.

In an area rife with ethnic and religious unrest, this is a bad omen.

The Moslems, all Moslems, know that the U.S., U.K. and the EU all lack the internal fortitude to confront the reality of Islam's teachings and what its followers believe. Islam teaches(not unlike Soviet Communism) its followers to take over the world and the Koran proscribes how the unbelievers or infidels are to be treated. (For info on this buy a translation of the holy book of Islam and read a chpt. called the "spoils of war". To make long story short what they have in store for Christians and Jews is subserviant slavery. For pagans, like Hindus or Buddist, death and destruction. Nice people eh?) So, now they brazenly attack Christians, Jews and others with little or no fear of any real reprisals. Look at Jane's last post. She, like many in the liberal west, makes excuses for them. It blows my mind that the Left is more afraid of offendings moslems than being killed by them. Dan,
