In the last 35 years i have been inside a Masjed no more than 10 times, one was not even in use as a Masjed any more (Cordoba Spain) 2 or 3 more as a picture taking tourist in Morocco. not once did i even attempt to fast a Ramadan, i have knelt down more times to vomit after a good drunk than to pray, the word Allah (how it is used) became the ugliest of words, considered facing or the pilgrimage to Mecca a sin. the last time i prayed was in a Catholic church Down-Town Cleveland (true Muslims can pray in Christian and Jewish Houses of God). although i'll always have a soft spot for non-Arabic Muslims as i do for American Indians (central and south) Armenians, Kurdish or any other oppressed group of people i detested Arabic, Arabs and the little they have to offer. i was and still is more American than the so called real Americans (birth), yet here comes all these George-Bin-Bush's to tell me that I'm in but a Muslim, Islam became an Identity, it's like being a Jew, except that Jew is good Muslim is bad (for now).
as the west has created this Christianized Islam (Osama's Islam) and now is bent on grouping all as one kind of Muslims ; are Muslims (Identified) to be the next millennium's Jews? look at what less than 10 Million pissed-of Identified-Jews have done to our world in the last 150 years, now smile and say 2 billions, i dare you smile.
