Why did many Catholic and Protestant leaders in Nazi Germany condone, or at least not protest, the Holocaust? Why did "Christian" members of the KKK lynch blacks in the U.S.? (My wife's grandfather on her mother's side was a "good" Presbyterian and a Klansman. Why did "Christian" Americans and Brits create and support the slave trade? The names of religions are often nothing more than trappings that obscure basic evil. A "Muslim" or "Christian" terrorist has this relationship to religion: he or she uses it as a weapon. Are they all infidels? Religions don't kill - people kill. Religions aren't at fault - people are. It's almost like soccer games with thugs on each side beating each other up when they win or lose. Same game, different uniform... Tracy Barber |

I needed that!" ] Actually, when they say that, they are trying to know how many M&M's are "in Fidel" at any one moment. They're association with Cuba is tenuous at best, but it has been a long standing joke and contest in the Muslim world. So far, nobody has guessed it correctly, due to the high security and around Fidel and those that have a semi-permanent residence in Guantanamo who have first "dibs" on the prize. The prize - a forged reprint stamp of Che Guevara in his youth. Tracy Barber |
