I  have  not  changed  my  position  at  all;  suppression  and colonial
domination amounts to cultural extermination.  By the way I do not claim
wisdom  but  rather  common  sense  which  comes  from  the centuries of
subjugation of  my  family  to  Muslim  overlords.   In  case  you  have
forgotten,  I  am  one  of those savages because my mother's family were
southern Libyan troglodytes.  On the other hand in honor of the  women's
conference  in  Nairobi,  I  should  point out that with regard to women
Islam should  not  be  considered  merely  savagely  unacceptable.   Any
religion  which  cannot  decide  whether  cutting  off a women's clit is
merely  mustahab  (commendable)  or  wajib  (obligatory)  is  definitely
criminal.   By  the way I do not conceal my background, but to be honest
in any discussion of the middle east you should tell us whether you  are
some  sort of Muslim or rather an Armenian just brown-nosing your former
Muslim masters.

After reading Mr. Martillo's postings on Islam and the various responses
I think there are a few points no one has raised.

First, isn't it obvious that whatever the goals and ideals of various
moslems Mr. Martillo is the only one in this discussion with the slightest
idea of what it means to be a minority in a conservative moslem nation?

Second, are the Moslems any worse than the Christians of a few centuries
ago?  There seems to be some reason to hope that these nations will learn
to treat minorities and women decently without abandoning Islam. 

Third, if they don't, is anyone suggesting that we (meaning the West) do
anything about it?  I thought not.

Yes one must be careful  to thoroughly suppress any group of people who do
not agree with you or with which you find an obnoxious difference so as to
further the good of all mankind.

It seems resonable that Muslims are determined to advocate their own
beliefs and practices regardless of world or private sector opinion
and so steps should be taken to get the rapscalion upstarts back into place
and keep them there no matter what.

In fact under a colonial situation we could arrange things so only
W-A-S-P's, or perhaps an even more restrictive definition of a group,
can hold public office, vote or conduct and/or own a business.
All other types could then be workers and the type we would 
choose to supress culd be given lower pay and poor working 
conditions and the like till they fell into line with the rest of the world.

Perhaps if they don't fall into line quickly enough we could gather them all
together into large camps where we could control them better, if there are 
some overcrowded camps well that's all right since these people are really
 deserving of oa taste of their own medicine anyhow. 
Perhaps if they suffer too much we could try eliminating the infirm, the old
the sick, the trouble makers, the women (they only breed more trouble makers)
and then we culd retrainthe children to help in keeping the rest of them
inline so to speak. 

GEE WHIZ  why didn't some one else think of this wonderful and
final solution to the problem and in so doing we could further the master 
race to new heights of freedom and accomplishment.

These are my opinions!
I worked for them and I intend to enjoy them.
Handle carefully or else someone might think they are yours also.

Just out of curiosity, Miss Zobjeck, are you defending the practise of
clitoridectomy in Islam?
