Torture for muslim people!!!

Inshalah!

Terrorism is funny. These people manage to pull off the most intricately detailed plan in history, yet nothing else happens. No public transportation suicide bombings, no sporting event bombings, no shootings for that matter. Get the picture?

we all need to stop this violence and have peace

May we all learn from this

inshAllah

It's interesting that this is shown on the 24th.

What kind of human beings torture others? Mentally ill? Psychotic?  Maybe you live next door to a torturer! I would be concerned if I did have a person like that as a neighbor, wouldn't you?

Cliff May gave a fantastic and informative interview with Jon Stewart on the Daly Show. The show aired April 28th 2009. Stewart is very liberal and Anti-Torture, yet he was able to conduct an interview where he express' his differences of opinion in a most civil and rational manner while still managing to inject humor into the dialogue. I recomend the unedited, nearly 45 minute, interview to anyone with a desire for more information about this. Peace

once again i will ask how old are you? seriously. because any logical person can understand the point i was making. from your previous posts and the one you just made it appears that you don't even read my responses or you at least only read into what you want thus this will be my last response, you can only talk to people like you for so long b4 it just becomes a waste of time....

BattleAngel .. You are a rather strange bird. You agree with me yet you think my family should be subject to violence. While I was trying to make a point based on the practical reality of the subject, you counter with an immature and inflamitory remark. Whats your damage? My original post was neutral & based on actual science while your's was pointless rhetoric seeking a reactionary response. I suppose you have no point to make other than you want attention. Agree or disagree but MAKE A POINT.

"everybody" practices torture so we should do nothing about it. YOUR so-called "facts" is the basis for my opinion that your whole entire family should be tortured with waterboarding and the rest of should just sit back and accept it "because its the way of the world." That is your philosophy and I'm just demonstrating it for you... personally.
