I think you misunderstood my intentions. I'm not anti-Islamic. In fact, I've spent quite some time in that part of the world (both in strict Islamic and more relaxed countries), so I feel I have a deeper understanding of Islam than most Westerners.
I'll let you in on a little secret: Islam preaches that if you touch pig fat just before dying, you will go to hell. I'm sure that will trouble the very extremist Muslim hijackers, not that all hijackers Muslim.
Just my point of view which I'm entitled to. </font>
I know the comment sounds offensive, but we need to lighten up, I am sure Cafe didn't mean harm, just making fun at a serious situation. Whether the pig fat thing is true or not, I was amused. I needed a chuckel. It's no diferrent than blond jokes or what have you. Lets all be friends. Lets be nice to each other and quit being so defensive. Have a sense of humor.
