I was reading Journey Into America at my local Borders and there was a passage about how Americans can't stand criticism when it comes from the outside. When I saw the man and woman in this video criticizing the atmosphere of Bourbon Street during Mardi Gras, I began to feel very offended and angry, especially at the "stuffed down your throat" description. But after a little bit I remember that I've had similar feelings toward the decadence in N.Orleans. Definitely gave me food for thought.

stupid muslums dont go, ,

War does not end war. Fighting does not bring peace. Building more weapons will not stop the violence and war that has been taught to all of mankind. It is a disease that has been passed down from generation to generation and we need to do more than treat the symptoms... we need to cure it before it is passed to our children.

islam is conquering the world careful next it could be you

yes Islam is a very perverse religion led by the false demonic possessed prophet Mohammad..

[bg3370]

quran is a book of terror. it tells its followers to kill nonmulims by slitting their throats, allows men to sex with kids by "marrying " 9 year old girls, allows looting of others property and allows enslavement of women. it a terroristic thug lifestyle they call religion. there is nothing holy or human about these acts. the insane muslims believe that they will get 72 virgins as rewards for murders . this is an insane set of beliefs void of any humanity.

Oh my God Coopic christians and arab jews are examples tht muslims need not to be made muslim or murdered . They were chrisitans at the time of Prophet Mohammed and even today.nobody killed them or made them muslim because you simply cannot make someone Muslim by force. If you do that that doesnt make a person Muslim. NOt al all. Islam is the growing religion of the world today . In the USA EUrope and every where. Tell me who forced those millions of people to convert to ISlam.?? NOBODY.

[yaaraful]

Prophet Mohammad says to treat people fairly you know what if the quran really says to kill the christians jews then let me tell you one thing you how many coopic Arab christians are living today in the arab world. The number is in millions. COopic means christiand that were christ at the time of Prophet Mohammed . IF ISlam says to kill non muslims then how are they alive even today how did they managed to escape and how did they survived. So here we go again tht falsifies ur made up claims

So GOd punished them by turning them to APes if u had read the whole story from the Quran then u would not have been so misinformed . So you must know that which verses explains the past events and real stories and which one applies to todays world and in which way and what does it mean if we apply it to todays world. It seems to me u just picked verses from the quran out of context and the way u liked it and said here the Quran says this and that without even thinking wht does it really means

[yaaraful]

Whenever they needed help they would ask the prophet Moses to ask GOd to help them but soon they would forget GOd mercy and disobey the Propehts. God sent many prophets to the people of BAni Israel (called at that time) but due to theri behaviouf and disobedience God got angry at them and turned them into Apes bcs if u really helped someone but they keep disobeying u even they know tht u r the right one then of COurse u will go hard on them compared to other people who u just tried to help
