Did you give any of their hookahs a try?
We're going to be down for a few days in Dec, probably give it a try.

I figured someone would respond like that...
There are no bad PEOPLES, only oppressive GOVERNMENTS and RELIGIONS
I have an Iranian friend, Salar, who tells people his name is Sal ;-)

> There are no bad PEOPLES, only oppressive GOVERNMENTS and RELIGIONS
"Whoever lays his hand on me to govern me," Proudhon proclaimed, "is a usurper and a tyrant; I declare him to be my enemy . . . . Government of man by man is slavery" and its laws are "cobwebs for the rich and chains of steel for the poor." The "highest perfection" for free society is no government, to which Proudhon was the first to give the name "An-archy." He excoriated government in a passion of contempt. "To be governed is to be watched, inspected, spied on, regulated, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, ruled, censored, by persons who have neither wisdom nor virtue. It is in every action and transaction to be registered, stamped, taxed, patented, licensed, assessed, measured, reprimanded, corrected, frustrated. Under pretext of the public good it is to be exploited, monopolized, embezzled, robbed and then, at the least protest or word of complaint, to be fined, harassed, vilified, beaten up, bludgeoned, disarmed, judged, condemned, imprisoned, shot, garroted, deported, sold, betrayed, swindled, deceived, outraged, dishonored. That's government, that's its justice, that's its morality! And imagine that among us there are democrats who believe government to be good, socialists who in the name of liberty, equality and fraternity support this ignominy, proletarians who offer themselves candidates for President of the Republic! What hypocrisy!"

Except that it's not that religion is oppressive but that it is people in leadership positions who mis-interpret and become false teachers. Or even dangerous teachers. So there are some bad people, but only very few.

Hmm. Majeed still calls himself Majeed and doesn't run into problems with that AFAIK. Unless someone really wants to I only see one reason why to alter the name a bit: If it's unpronouncable in the country you live in, like with my name (I am mostly called George).

Good grief. He'll be admitting that individual French people can be okay any time now.
I'm just back from a couple of pleasant days in Chablis, with a couple of cases of aide memoires. Premier Cru, from old vines.

I think he could legitimately call himself an African-American.

Yep. No more interfering in the educational process either. If you want to keep your kids at home to do the farm chores and to learn about intelligent design during a regular ten minute tuition session every evening (except Sunday), that's your business.

Bravo. Cut through both the leftist and rightist myths to the truth.

All teachers of religion are false teachers by definition.
Just moved from Chandler to Eugene, OR about a month ago. I do miss the abundance of good restaurants in the valley. Bahama Breeze (Ray & I-10) and Abuelo's (Chandler Blvd. & 101) were always favorites.

What indeed! How far are Alaska and Hawaii from the 48?
Arabia is very big. And the remark was a joke. Twit yourself. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only. Try www.jmwa.demon.co.uk and www.isce.org.uk There are benefits from being irrational - just ask the square root of 2. John Woodgate, J M Woodgate and Associates, Rayleigh, Essex UK
