I know it was off base, that's why I said so at the end of the statement. > 'Westerners' have one take on what is moral and Islam has another. You are comparing a regional/cultural group to a religious group so there's a big disconnect. In California or Vancouver for example it's generally ok to smoke weed. Go to the bible belt and it's not. Two morally opposed views yet both areas are "Westerners." Mormons and Catholics have different views of what's morally right, yet they are both Christian. To paint them with the same brush does them both a disservice, the same as using the term Islam as a catch-all does. That's part of what I've been saying the whole time. North Americans, or more specifically Americans, have an opinion of what a Muslim is. Generally that opinion is that they are middle eastern fundamentalists with IED's in one hand and the decapitated head of their wife in the other. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:288873 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
