[BITList] Fwd: Meet Col. West--very interesting

 Hugh et al
In a way, could one not think that Religion, not spititual belief, equals power cloaked in ignorance and that "spin" was invented a long, long time ago. Think about it.  Ron. ps I wonder as to what "Jihad" will now overtake me!

  Mike,

  Had I the time or the inclination, I could (I suppose) open one of the Bibles among the religious books on my shelves and count within its pages the number of celebrations of massacres carried out by the chaps it writes about in the OT. These had nothing to do with having a different religion, just that they were a hindrance to the acquisition of land and property.  The world was that kind of place in those days, and it was that kind of place when Islam was getting its act together. And it's still that kind of place, eg, Iraq, Afghanistan, et al. And maybe Egypt, if Sarah Palin ever gets a picture book about the pyramids.

  Hugh.
