I suppose that is progress, sort of like agreeing that hummus is healthy. Personally, I don't like eating any kind of soil.<br /><br />That survey you added is amusing, but hardly grist for the mill of Hamas. All these years they've tried to become a dominant political and military force, and these kids thing they're a spread?<br /><br />You know - you teach at a UC campus - that most of these kids couldn't name all 50 U.S. states, or tell you the number of the amendment that protects freedom of religion, speech, and assembly, or what century the Civil War was fought in... much less anything about Israel. They obviously never went to Sunday School.Siarlys Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083839117838391267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59324506101124457.post-51083047874407363652010-12-31T11:10:50.529-08:002010-12-31T11:10:50.529-08:00"Nativist tracts about.....nunneries in Quebe..."Nativist tracts about.....nunneries in Quebec"?<br /><br />"Lucid"?Gary Fousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014739065121483409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59324506101124457.post-86679090518865249942010-12-31T09:58:56.570-08:002010-12-31T09:58:56.570-08:00The article you link to is as clear as mud.

All the others cited are clearly people with an ax to grind and more hysteria than knowledge of what they are talking about -- sort of like the nativist tracts about the horrors perpetrated in nunneries in Quebec.<br /><br /><i>"It's exciting for me, but it's rarely exciting for people who do not relish medieval legal discourses ... to say the least it's a rather odd position to suddenly find Shariah jumping into public discourses in the West."</i> That makes a great deal of sense to me. It can also be turned on the few, but strident, Muslim voices trying to make shariah into some sort of effective legal code.Siarlys Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083839117838391267noreply@blogger.com
