i can see that we are at an impasse, cecil. but i have enjoyed the ride.
i guess, from where i stand, i know that the racism that i have faced in my life has not happened because half of my family is muslim. it's happened because my skin is brown. because my dad speaks with an accent. because i'm, as more than one charming person has put it, a "sand nigger."
i know what i've lived, and i know that while religion is an issue, a big giant overwhelming issue even, it's not the only issue.
in any case, i really have to get some work done before i get fired. it's been a good discussion...
a hug to you and the phar lepht crew...
