Here's my simple question: If this guy (in the article) is alone then why are ordinary Muslims supporting him? (by going to these meetings, giving money, etc.) http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&cid=524&u=/ap/20020911/ap_wo_en_po/sept_11_fundamentalists_1&printer=1 "Sheik Omar...

lol...actually a lot of intelligent people believe that the moon landing was faked. I know it sounds wacky but there are some things that they just can't explain. I wonder why Buzz didn't just humour the guy and spend 1 minute swearing that he did walk on the moon...

daniel, actually it is my belief that the Japanese culture had an infinitessimally small amount to do with their success. What launched them onto economic success was Deming and his scientific approach to quality, land reform, tax reform, and labour laws as well as a lack of military...

I do not blame all Muslims for what happened. What I said was that I do not accept their pleas that Islam is a peaceful faith. For if it was and they truly belived it they would oppose those that would pervert it. They do not. Rather they support and encourage them. Also the Taliban were...

I have heard very similar comments from other Arabs/Muslims. Yet words and actions do not jive. If Islam is a faith of peace and love then other Muslim countries should arise and put a stop to such actions (especially as it is done in the name of Islam). Yet not only do they not take any...

This is what is going on in the name of Islam in Iran. Not far from the holocaust. http://www.unhchr.ch/Huridocda/Huridoca.nsf/TestFrame/916f713559b7db858025670400534fe4?Opendocument Islamic Republic of Iran 42. The former Special Representative on the situation of human rights in the...

http://www.nationalpost.com/home/story.html?id={5B7A78BB-5D7C-45E3-A254-785F738DF8EA} I have held my tongue until now but I can no longer. My family and thousands of other adherents of the Baha'i Faith have been persecuted (read: murdered in cold blood, refused jobs, admission to university...

I was watching an excellent documentary on PBS FrontLine re the aftermath of the September 11 tragedy and the US' response. CIA para military units were in Afghanistan and they fed intelligence to the elite special forces that later went in to hook up with local warlords to fight the Taliban...

I agree with def on this one. Just be glad I'm not your dad/uncle or you'd be getting an ass whooping for trolling messageboards trying to get others to do your work.

If people wish to continue with this thread, they may. But again, I ask that we speak to each other with respect and if we can not come to any agreement, atleast lets agree to disagree in a civil fashion. Thanks.

Wow! The PPT, Japanese style. It reminds me of a similar fund set up in Hong Kong (it actually made some money for the gov't). But it really is incredible how much the Japanese culture demands face saving (at whatever cost).

dotslash, could you please provide a link re that specific law/regulation? TIA

A great example of rectifying a bad tax situation is Russia. There, Putin established a flat tax regime (I believe it is 17 or 19%). As a result, people are paying their taxes, whereas before they would navigate the labrinthian tax code and avoid paying a ruble. And more importantly it has jump...

Unfortunately this thread disintegrated into insults and has therefore been edited and closed. It will be opened shortly once people cool off and can resume a civil dialogue.
