Peace be upon him. Usually used when we refer to a prophet that has passed away. Though most will only use it when referring to the prophet Muhammad, technically it should also be used when referring to Jesus, Moses, Abraham, etc.

Ugh, I'll bite. Lets go back to the quote:
Heres how I approached this post: I figured that Trout was pleasantly surprised with my posts in that given thread, which shed a completely different light on people of Islamic faith. I can't speak for him, but from what I interpreted from the post, he has probably thought that "Pretty much of all of Islam", or pretty much all of Muslims, were along the mould of people who are condescending, people who wear their hearts on their sleeves, and people who are unreasonable; aka, characteristics that the media typically portrays people to be. Hence, I take it as a sense of pride that I am doing a pretty good job of educating people on a faith that makes me so happy, and that has done so much for me in my life.
definitely true, and I think the Iranian Revolution of 1979 was one of the first major outward expressions of those changes
since then it seems it's been one step forward and two steps back
sorry Trout, you're way off-base here, you're the one that brought up religion in connection to Bean's post. As written, Bean's post said NOTHING about religion but just regurgitated messages that are heard repeatedly in the public schools, in the media, in posters on public trains and buses, on billboards etc etc etc
personally, I've always thought of the Taliban more as a political party, not a religion. Sort of like the old Irish Republican Army is not a representation of the Catholic religion in Ireland.
actually, as I think about it, that Taliban is in many ways equivalent to the IRA.

Typical lazy Euro wanting the US to do all the work for them and then get our advancements for free.
Obama and a democratically crontrolled house and senate increased military spending faster than any other US president.
These same democrats paid for it by cutting education funding and research money.
That is according to Obama's White House, not some think tank. Obama.
It must take a special tool to cram your head as far up your *** as you have it. Jaws of life running in reverse or something.
uhmmmmmm. . . . . if your wife does this "a lot", you must be criticizing her "a lot". . . . . .
on the other hand, if you were, instead, saying stuff like "Honey, you're wonderful", I bet she'd let you talk some more about her. . . . or maybe, as you say, "switch the attention" to you somehow. And not in a bad way.
I bet that works pretty much the same in all religions.
I spent saturday on the USS Midway, now serving as a naval museum in San Diego. They had some old salts giving personal presentations at various points. I got my pic taken in the brig, and listened to some profound militarist swill in the radar room, where they had everything set up to imitate the day we started Desert Storm, including the targets to be bombed in Baghdad, like it was some high point in US glory. Someone asked the brass-brained expert what we are going to do to get the nukes outta Iran. He clearly stated that we would be obliged to save the world once again.
Too stupid for words.
OT Warning!
Were there any other carriers in port across the bay there? If so, did you happen to notice what numbers they had on the side of them?
I didn't even look. Too much fascination with boilers and bunks. The point was made that the USS Midway was being kept seaworthy, and could be put into active military service on short notice. Almost enough excitement in the attitude shown to make me think this is a current issue.
