My guess is that what he was saying is that you took a small sentence or short passage and that it was out of context. That is something the right is good at.

I would tell him to get his own Koran out and read for himself. He was free to argue the context or what ever it ment to him. He refused to look it up. Simply, hardheadedly would always say "it wasn't in there".

Look, most thought he was a Muslim. He wasn't. He was thinking of becoming one. Someone in his life was giving him an edited version of Islam. I was trying to fill in all the missing blanks. I tried real hard to get him to get a Koran if he didn't have one. Found a couple of web sites who would send him a free one. Gave him links to online versions. I wanted him to read for himself. He wouldn't. I would quote and he would say he asked..., whoever, I think it was a neighbor, could have been anyone..., and was told I was lying, it wasn't in there. I simply could not get him to read for himself.

By the way, other members of that forum who are Muslims would always say the same. "Your lying, it's not in there". Again, I would tell them to read for themselves. They would say thing like "my mommy says that's not true". I'm serious, they would refuse to have a conversation. They would talk, they just refused conversation. And always demanded that my quotes from THEIR Koran be deleted.

No Robert, Ziad was/is in Dire Need of much Psychiatric Help.

He was basically always Irrational to the Point of Reversing Himself without knowing he was Arguing Against His Own Points.

If Ziad said "It's Black" and I would Reply, "It's Black" .... he would Rant that "It Was White" .... LOL .... he was Priceless.

It was quite amusing though ....

I think you should find him and join him for a group session because you need psychiatric help too.

Do you feel the same way about greedy, blood thirsty democrats?

Absolutely. Did you think I would say somethng else?

I had no preconceived notions about what you would say.
More than anything, I was wondering whether you would concede that greedy, blood thirsty democrats even exist, since your post could be read to imply that those were traits exclusive to the republicans.

Of course there are Democrats like that. I just don't see nearly as many as in the republican party.

I'd be hard-pressed to identify which party I see more in. One thing for sure, I see way too many of them in each party.

Keem'em coming. It's hilarious seeing how democratic-colored glasses work.

BTW, name me one Democrat in office that isn't f'n richer now than when they were elected.
