Eric,
Even if those atrocities are true, they're a pittance compared to
the number of drug-war atrocities committed every day. The
chances of you being a victim of one of the types of crimes you
list is probably somewhere in the neighborhood of winning the
powerball lottery, which I think is around 100 million to one.
The chances of you being a victim of the drug war I think is
around 50 to one. Conspicuous is your failure to answer my
previous questions about how many people you know have been
drug-war victims vs terrorism victims. The facts, and I'm sure
your own experiences, suggest that your predilection for
continually emphasizing the far lesser danger would appear to be
an unreasonable fear; at least in comparison to the drug war. In
this comparative context, I am NOT preaching to the choir because
you obviously disagree. What is curious about your posts is your
bold denial of the facts and the obvious conclusion, which
suggests a not-so-subtle (ie, forgiving drug warriors / blaming
victims) bent toward prohibition-ism.

Mark, granted the threat from Islamo-Fascism at the moment is
much
more severe in Western Europe, there are still many instances
where
it is raising its ugly head here in the US:
1. the City Council of Hamtramac, Michigan last year voted to
allow
a Muslim Mosque in the City Center to blare the Muslim Prayer
"Allah
Akubar" 5 times a day despite the passioned please opposing the
proposal from the majority Catholic Polish citizens of the town.
2. Just 3 weeks ago a Muslim Youth shouting "Allah Akubar" ran
over
8 college kids on the Village Green at the Univ. of North
Carolina
with his SUV.
3. 2 years ago a Black Muslim named John Muhamed in Maryland shot
and killed 8 people with his rifle over the span of a two month
period.
4. Borders Books, a major US Bookstore Chain just cowered to
Islamic
pressure and decided to ban the sale of the May/June issue of
Free
Inquiry, cause it contained Danish cartoons of the "Prophet
Muhammed."
5. Last year a Muslim Univ. of Oklahoma student blew himself up
on a
park bench outside of a crowded football stadium. Though the
authorities denied it, most believe his intentions were to set
the
bomb off inside the stadium killing thousands.
6. Louis Farakhan preaches his hateful rhetoric against Jews to
thousands of followers on a daily basis.
7. Big City police departments throughout the US are starting to
report a marked increase in cases of female genetalia mutulation,
rape in some cases slavery of young Muslim women by Muslim men
importing the women from the Middle East.
