So that's great that you'd put yours up against mine. I wouldn't touch yours with a ten foot pole. I prefer conversing with individuals who are a little more self aware.

I wouldn't pretend to tell you about the military and your tough guyness, because that is your thing from what I understand. But guess what...other people have lived in the Middle East and are very familiar with Islam. I don't care what your self proclaimed opinion is on the subject. I have my own.

I'm not sure you know what irony means since I didn't learn about the Middle East from the internet. But carry on with the crusade. Go man go. Talk to anyone who will listen to how smart you are. If they will just listen....
