So you checked, right? I mean, you spent hours searching media from all over the Islamic world, right? B/c surely you wouldn't make statments about one billion people like that, stating that "Muslims" as a group aren't respectful of Ramadan and that nobody condemned this bombing, if you didn't actually know what you were talking about? Right?

I think he's pointing out that some of these so-called religious extremists aren't very respectful of their own religion.

Or the Zionists.

Wait. Are we the Zionists? I'm losing track.

They'd be the first to bitch if we put a scratch on a Mosque -- particularly on their holy holiday. [/b][/quote]
Or, god forbid, do something to the Koran.

HILLAH, Iraq - A bomb exploded at the entrance of a Shiite Muslim mosque south of Baghdad as hundreds of worshippers gathered for prayers on the first day of Ramadan and for the funeral of a man killed in an earlier bombing. At least 25 people were killed and 87 wounded. The explosion hit the Husseiniyat Ibn al-Nama mosque, ripping through strings of lightbulbs and green and red flags hung around the entrance to celebrate the start of the holy month. The mosque's facade was ravaged, shops nearby were detroyed and several cars were damaged. Hundreds of men had gathered at the mosque, located in the center of Hillah, for prayers before returning home to eat the meal that ends the day's sunrise to sunset fast, when the blast went off at 6 p.m.
