This is another paragraph from the ISCA understanding Muslim Law.

Despite studying the religious books of his day Muħammad ibn Abd al-Wahhāb became extremely dogmatic in his understanding of the faith. Imām Abū Zahrā of Al-Azhar University asserts that Muħammad ibn Abd al-Wahhāb was excessively more extreme in his conceptions than any former scholar. Following his demise “his followers went to even further extremes surpassing all bounds of jurisprudence, declaring countless acceptable matters ‘forbidden.’ The Wahhabi movement, never content to promulgate its beliefs by tongue or pen, wielded a sword to fight whoever differed from its ideology.”

The Responsible Republicans .....interesting....more gifts that keep on giving from President Bush?

What we’re really seeing from the Republican campaign, over all, is less a party gone mad than a party caught between generations. The disasters of the George W. Bush era depleted the party’s bench of officeholders and tarnished the (last) name of its most successful big-state governor. The elections of 2009-10 delivered a promising crop of future stars, but the current presidential campaign arrived too soon for them to be entirely seasoned.

If the current race pitted Jeb Bush against, say, Mike Huckabee and Mitch Daniels, nobody would be talking about how the party has gone off the rails. But those three men all found reasons not to run. If it were being held two years hence, and featured Chris Christie, Bobby Jindal, Paul Ryan and Marco Rubio, the excitement on the Republican side would rival what the Democrats enjoyed in 2008. But those four, and others like them, decided they weren’t ready yet.

So the primary electorate was left to choose from a roster of retreads, mediocrities and cable-news candidates. And given their options, Republican voters have acquitted themselves about as sensibly, responsibly and even patriotically as anyone could reasonably expect.

It's common sense not to covet your neighbors wife or husband. The same may happen to you. Plus the same may happen to you. Most people can't take what they dish out. etc.

Besides there's nothing wrong with going by the rules of the golden book. Even the Koran is a noble book. Were people to follow what's in it and the spiritual aspect of it.

I know you're not a a Bush fan Jacko...but I don't see how this is his fault too. Quite honestly, I think the whole crop of them Republicans/Democrats/congressmen/senators are the same right now. I'd like to see all of them handed pink slips and a new crop with term limits brought in. Then, I'd like to see campaign contribution laws enacted so we don't have them in the pockets of big business. After that, we'd see a law enacted that strips them of the ability to insert nonrelated actions into bills.

Ok, I'll climb back out of the utopian world I'm visiting now.

Hey, I didn't say it was his fault.....the Republican there did.....

Term limits ARE tempting...but they have problems as well...but I DEFINITELY like campaign contribution controls...apparently Constitutional issues must be overcome first....I am also not a big fan of pork...it is fattening.
