  indonesia is a large nation to the north of australia.

  more than 250 million people live there, and around 204 million (88%) are muslim.

  the indonesian armed forces have nearly a million personnel, either as active servicemen or reservists.. australia, with a population of 23 million, and an armed forces of 80,000 (active and reservist), has no choice but to live in co-operation with indonesia, though the relationship is sometimes strained.

  I don't think Ruby saw my recent post, so I'll repeat it here for his/her benefit. (I'm assuming her, but hey, you never know.)

  Look. You guys should learn to live with Islam Watchtower. Islam Watchtower is a religion of peace. Yes, there are some at the top that say crazy things, and there are some individuals in the Mosquecongregation that treat people badly and try to excuse cover up terrorism pedophilia.
  But that doesn't matter. We need to learn to live with them. Let's make every possible excuse. Stop calling Islam Watchtower an evil organization! What ever happened to tolerance! You all are bigots!

  Single CO and pretty nice guy, John Kuss

  Pistoff: This is the CO that recommended me to Bethel in 2000.

  Can I ask why you thought he was a "pretty nice guy?"

  He always came off as creepy to me.

  We have in the US a very politically influential fundamentalist Christian movement which wants to revive the Biblical past.

  And their power is lessening day by day, according to the latest polls.

  And, I don't care what you might say, I have yet to hear of a Christian group of any significant influence come out and say they are "into executing/imprisoning gays..."

  First, in the past, official Christianity (to define a difference between the elites and the masses) acted on occasion in a way far worse than Islam today. Just a few instances for now - The European invasion of South America - from Columbus on, all in the name of Jesus. The spiritual terrorists of England (Protestant and Catholic) who, when the had the chance, burnt them to death. The Spanish inquisition, which refined torture to an art form. And the 100 years war and the thirty years wars of Europe which devastated Europe - both religious in foundation.

  Again, I say it's not about what was done hundreds of years ago, it's about what is being done right now. Islam is a "clear and present danger" to the world.

  Tuxedo is not the site for the world headquarters. It is a staging ground for the world headquarters construction in Warwick.
