I'll take this opportunity to breathe a little life into this near-dead blog by noting a funny article I read in the Times today. Apparently the group CAIR (the Council for American-Islamic Relations) is protesting that they are being portrayed as the "bad guys" on the Fox Network's hit show "24." This isn't the first time American television has run afoul of CAIR --in the past they have threatened action against CBS's show NCIS and various other television shows for having portrayed Islam in a bad light.
This has to be the ultimate definition of irony. CAIR has a hissy fit, calls a press conference, and threatens legal action every time an American television show portrays a Muslim terrorist killing people. But they have never once publicly criticized Muslim Terrorists who kill innocent civilians.
It seems to me that if they're so concerned with their public image that maybe to ACTUALLY STOP KILLING PEOPLE would be a good place to start.

stop killing, that would be too easy
brownie -- muslims aren't a race they're a religion. I suppose that you could call me a religiousist -- but that might be kind of hard to say drunk.
fish -- it actually might not be so easy, according some interpretations of the koran to be a good muslim they must kill all the non-muslims.
Hooah!
