[QUOTE=Mule][If next time you read my posts before you reply, you'll look smarter. First, no Bush apologist here. I voted for him, twice, & would again against the same 2 moronic candidates. I have been extremely critical of Bush. But just as you are probably right once in a great while, so is Bush. He's not wrong on everything. [QUOTE]
Next time, if you read my posts you would understand I was responding to several posters, not just you.
[QUOTE=Mule][I could post 100 links like those below, but I think those should get the point across. Your statement is akin to saying the Rodney King riots were not racially motivated. You can say all you want that the muslims are rioting over economic issues, it won't make it true.

To try & spin this into a race issue with me will not work. It is a religious issue & regardless how many foolish attempts you make to say otherwise, the whole civilized world (including me), knows this is so. Sorry! [QUOTE]
You could post a 1000, but you would still be wrong. Have you read these? One of them isn’t about France at all. Two of them do not state that religion is the cause of the riots in France. And the last one is a rightwing diatribe. Wow, impressive research! Don’t quit your day job.
Please note: I was discussing the riots in France (not elsewhere). They are all from poor neighborhoods where jobs are very scarce, due to the racism that exists in France. Even you, with your diminished capacity to read and use logic, should remember the riots in many US cities. All based on socio-economic issues. It is the same in France. No one in France is seriously blaming religion for this unrest.
Ranting that religion is the cause is a sure sign you have very little knowledge about France. And probably about most places.
[QUOTE=Mule][Can you tell me how that 99.99999% number was arrived at? I know you pulled it out of your ass but I'd like to see how good a story you can contrive. [QUOTE]
