In the progress of human morality and ethics we have hit a bump. We are at a crossroad. If we can convince the Islamic community to accept the notion of morality that denies any individual or group the right to murder others than we, the world, will have won a great victory. If we fail the world will take many steps back. **************************************************************** Rob It may be that this life cycle aint big enough for the two of us. xponent Bombs Away Maru rob
