- Ummm.... This is so far of the topic of backrubs that I hate to post, but I
- can't let this comment pass. Western society has no monopoly on
- intolerance, xenophobia, and hate. In africa, even today, there are
- horrible massacres in the next villiage over, because they are outsiders,
- not of the tribe, and therefore do not count. You think it's bad over here,
- try being gay in Russia. Or ANYWHERE that islam holds a firm grip on the
- culture. By the way, you know how Mohammed unified the arabs under Allah?
- He had a holy crusade that made the christian Crusades look like a garden
- party.
-
- None of this makes intolerance right, or just, but do not condemn my culture
- for being the only intolerant one. PEOPLE are intolerant, the world over.
