Will there be a next century for Western Civilization if it continues on course?
I don't know who "Rula" is, but I guess it's safe to say that if he/she isn't a honky they have no way of understanding our culture and is therefor unfit to comment on our feels and stuffs.

Quote:While discussing how to handle Islamic jihadist terrorism, political commentator Rula Jebreal claimed “white people” cannot understand Islamic culture.
As a guest on “CNN Tonight” with Don Lemon on Wednesday, Jebreal argued for funding Islamic integration into society when she went after Buck Sexton, a former CIA analyst.
“I don’t know, Buck, if you speak Arabic,” Jebreal said to Sexton. “And clearly, you talk about terrorists, but you need to understand the culture. You need to understand the language. You need to understand what is appealing — what is the message that ISIS actually is selling in these prison cells. And what they are selling online.”
Sexton responded, “Respectfully, I served in Iraq and Afghanistan targeting people that were doing beheadings, that were building suicide vests. I mean, so I was doing that at a very specific level.”
After a period of crosstalk, Jebreal said, “With all due respect, white people like yourself who doesn’t understand the language, doesn’t understand the culture and doesn’t even know the religion —”
Sexton cut in, “I don’t know what that has to do with trying to prevent people from blowing up buses and trying to annihilate —”

She told me that you can't use an English translation of the Koran as a negative because it was not supposed to be translated into other languages. I told her that was a cheap cop-out. I supposed I should have said that then you cannot use any translation as a positive for Islam since the Koran shouldn't be translated.
I am glad I dumped her. Frumpy, chubby and thought Sharia Law was fine to live under.
Good on you young man!

I try to block out most of my memories with her. Wasted too many months.
