"WOMEN CAN DO GREAT JOBS TOO"

[annarboriter]

We can hope that after her term is over, Condi Rice sees the inside of a prison cell as her next career move.

[AnaTipton]

Do not pity the women of the world . For women a stronger than men and in the end they overcome them,one at a time.

[farnaz11]

Stop blowing up our buses, trains and planes... stop calling us Infidels and insisting that we must 'convert or die'. Religion is a system of spiritual blackmail put in place by men to control the population. It has no answers to any question other than what control-freaks want to answer to, and even then... it's bullsh*t... and yes, I have read The Qu'ran and The Bible. The principle behind religion is mostly peaceful (for individuals) but once religion spreads, it becomes corrupted!

Yes ... we're all infidels unless we're licking the boots of a god-ayatolla somewhere.

Islam came about 500 years after Christianity and what the west went through in the middle ages is happening to Moslems around the world now. What inquisition did in Spain is happening in the name of Islam in Iran. Education is the only way to change this world and do not think that what a dictatorship forces on the people in third world is NOTnecessarily the will of the people. There are many facts involved. unfortunately fundamentalism in all religions causes intolerance towards others.

[alstaring]

Iran will get over Islam, because its full of shit. Islam is like other religion backward and narrow minded, no element for progress.

It certainly isn't my own individual fault that Western interfers some much with Eastern, I didn't agree and I joined in protests against the Iraq war! Don't you ever consider the millions of people in Britain, in the U.S, in the EU that protested against the Iraq war? Are they still 'infidels'?? If, in your opinion, they are- then you should just go and leave in a hole in the ground for as much as your viewpoint is valued by anybody!!

[afghanhunter221]

so... you should start thinking bout dat and less bout which country progress and which country is 3rd world.
