h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

1. It would be nice to know if there are any Muslims in here. Welcome to you if you are here.

2. One of the points about Muslims is that many of them believe that they are above nations. Other groups have had the same idea (the Irish, Jews, Catholics...), but there is a willingness in some parts of the world to be disturbed by this "higher allegiance" expressed by followers of Islam.

*pulling out her long hair*
AAAAAAHHHHHHAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!
SOME...okay...'some'...Muslims!!!!
It would really be a good idea to just understand that very bad things are done by very few people. Oh myhell...I'm soooo
tired. Will somebody please just hold me for a few minutes?

Pandora, if you're still awake consider yourself held. If not, we'll stroke your hair and tiptoe away.

Hello everyone. I think this is reasonably on topic. If it tastes like spam, don't worry, it's just flavored tempeh.

"The lesson which wars and depressions have taught is that if we want peace, prosperity and happiness at home we must help to establish them abroad." - Hugo L. Black (1886-1971)

I don't know who this Hugo Black fellow is, I just found that quote and thought of this thread.

Wishing peace to you all,

GTBacchus...I can't recall who that is...seems pretty tame.

ex-Rambling & Mund...thanks...I needed that.

I've been taken off call on the crisis line. Yay. I'm sure it will be a short break. I however plan to watch a movie & eat some garden fresh 'maters. You know? For people (mostly) I'm just getting around to know, you're a very caring lot. I've finally figured out that I need a good too. So 'they' may call me the crying therapist. Much better than the charging
a ing King's ransome for you to listen to

Too bad it took this type of thing to bring us together. I choose to think we more than likely would have run into one another at some point in time.

well, at least you knew where to come.

At this distance (northern England, a touch down from Manchester), what can I do but care and hope and offer you a cyberhand of friendship? You've already made me reconsider what I say about guns (not what I feel or believe, yet, but certainly what I say).

Earlier this evening I was at my writers' group. One of our members is over here from San Diego. She feels for what is going on back home. We Brits sympathise but sometimes fail to realise the fellow feeling that can exist between the California desert and the tricken Manhattan island.

What matters is that we keep talking.

What matters 2: My name is Ed. I don't want to hide behind a pseudonym any more.

What really matters: This site may well not be the kind of place where devout Muslims would feel comfortable. Where can we go to meet such people? I know where I can go on the surface of the earth - to say hello to my friend Yasin. But when I sit at my screen, where can I find people of other cultures, so we can explore each others' foibles and strongly held beliefs?

I tryped tricken. I meant stricken.
