This isn't meant as a racist rant, or a pro war rant, or a "I'm better than the world rant"

But I'm getting sick of being called an infidel...anyone else?

I mean hey, I understand why they are pissed - believe me. SO flame away!

4. i dont think he means it religiously
I think its more like how we called germans "fritz" etc during ww2


*to mods* this is NOT racist i do not mean to say germans should be called fritz. I just described how in war times the enemy likes to make up "names" of their enemy.

5. As I understand it
"infidel" means someone who does not believe in God. In Islam, Jews and Christians are not, because they, too, are people of The Book (the idea is that that Torah, Bible, and Qur'an are all one). In my oreder of Sufism (the mystical branch of Islam), no one is an infidel.

Hello to Canada, one of the saner places on earth!

6. Hey, where's my Strawberry Shortcake
bar? You said this would be a thread with "good humor," so I naturally assumed that there would be some ice cream involved. I came for ice cream, and darn it, I want it! Now! :crazy:
