No, I do not. What I have is a unique way of telling some retard that calls me a girl that I am in no way a girl. Got clue? Why are you even in the thread if you are not up on the topic you expound on? It is a known fact that the quran includes such writings as those I spoke of. Do you deny this fact?

And the fear mongering of Bush, his cronies in the Republican party, and anyone else who parrots the party line (as are about half of the participants in this thread) are playing right into their hands.... And he accuses others of giving aid and comfort to the enemy? Well, then again, Bush ain't great on moral consistency. Eric Lucas
