No you ninny, the movie makes a lot of the same arguments you are making. But then again I like you better this way... dont watch it.

Why do I have a strong urge to examine my posts

Because you aren't as ignorant as I wish you were. LMAO Actually you should watch this movie you might be surprised if all you know about it is the hype and heresay, its actually quite moderate and like I said makes the same arguments but goes further in offering an insiders view, almost all of the experts are middle eastern people, muslims for the most part. And it offers a solution for extremism of which the basic tenet for change is education.

Well I can always look it up although I can almost guarantee that I will have to get the in laws to send it out as getting anything not mainstream here is almost impossible, its one of the negatives of living in a small country where the retail sector only understand service to be a term used in tennis.

The movie "Obsession?" You've got me curious BD. TMM please.

I watched that movie, it was awesome. I got it on DVD for christmas. A very interesting look into the mind of islamic militants.

For any who gets the disk, id recommend watching the 60 minute version, the 27 minute one isnt nearly as good.

I have the DVD Uncle Saddam....Very interesting look into how bad this man and his fellow men where....

This Obsession one sounds interesting....

I just go to the Koran when I have doubts about how many extremists there in that particular religion. It's a pretty good source for what is expected of a true Muslim. Or you can attend any service at any Mosque and get the general idea of what they think of the rest of the world.

You are dealing with a small group of extremists within a very large population your argument is about as irrational as saying the IRA were predominantly catholic, they espoused violence and killed indiscriminately therefore the answer is to wipe out catholicism.

It really isn't that small at all, and it isn't planted in one or two areas. If you ever travel to the Middle East, you'll find that those preaching peace, love and harmony aren't in the noticable majority. Even the quiet ones, that live happily on their farms and never bother anyone will kill their daughters if they violate the rules.
