Stoning Of The Devil (PHOTOS): Muslims Cast Stones On 3rd Day Of Hajj

“How profound.
Every human being at one time or another awakens to the fact of a "Creator". That is not the issue, however. The issue is that in the search for truth, humanity tends to embrace any one of the various organized religions, known to have contributed to untold strife.”

“Pause to marvel the harmonious coexistence at the hajj: nearly 2 million people - Sunnis, Shiites, Arabs, Persians, Africans, Pacific Islanders, Kings, Paupers, etc - from more than 150 different countries (some of which do not like each other at all), converge for seven days at a location in the desert to, among other things, throw stones, and not at each other either!”

“You all can keep the Hajj.....I'll just go to Burning Man! Let's see.......let me look at my options.
1) Go to hajj where I'm not welcome because I'm not a Muslim
2) Go to Burning Man where nobody cares what religion I am, we're all naked and it's peace and love....peace and love.....no stones......
Sign me up for Option #2 please!”

“and then pause to consider that after they run out of stones and return home, they are ready to attack each other again in the name of their pure belief. Thus is the Islamic religion, like all fractured religions.”

That, in a nutshell, is a measure of our priorities.”

“" It is worth noting that after passage of the more liberal House version of reform the support was nine points higher at 47% with just 49% opposed. So as a result of making the bill more moderate Democrats have managed to lose a significant amount of support."”

“Like the man said, as the majority of Americans watch the public option erode, support for the bill drops. We don't want a variation on the same theme, we want substantive change!”

Obama's Afghan Dilemma: The Only Real Exit Strategy Is Political Suicide

“Quoting from the article: " ... if Obama began to withdraw our troops from Afghanistan without being able to declare some form of victory, he would be derided in the press and by Republicans as a coward and a quitter"
Think about that!
1) The PRESS should to be on the side of facts, not politics. Fact: Al Qaeda in Afthanistan is decimated; Fact: This war is costing limb and treasure, and for what good purpose?
2) REPUBLICANS (likely only a portion of the 22% of the population) will deride anything the president does. Their opposition is no place to hang our hats on.”
