Does anti-Muslim bigotry correlate with Tea Party association?

Clearly not. There was anti-Muslim bigotry long before 9/11. There was anti-Islamic bigotry after Tim McVeigh blew up the Oklahoma Federal building (years before 9/11).

They are also saying it would be nice if Israel would stop murdering Muslim's and Christian's.

Bigots have attacked Jews the same way they are now attacking Muslims. If you are a bigot, you will alway be able to find something to justify your hatred.

Foofie, do you support the Tea Party?

The question is an honest one. Mohammad was indeed married to a girl who was 9 years old. Wouldn't you call that a pedophile? It wasn't a question of the whole religion being based on pedophilia, but their founder being one. . . .

Today 'yes'. But that was about the normal age of getting married for girls in those times - look up the age of girls who became queen/princess in Middle Age Europe! So, in the 12th century, Pope Alexander III wrote a decree, limiting the age when people could get married to 12 for females and 14 for males. (Which didn't hinder some rulers, to marry still nine years old girls, and even younger ones, at all.)

Just my personal opinion, but you might use European history as a benchmark for whether some custom was ethical/moral or not (two wrongs do not make a right). Simply put, it is called being Eurocentric.

In my opinion again, the big denial for many Europeans is that America is not a knock-off of Europe and its culture. It might have started with its basic thinking; however, it really went off on its own direction. Much due to the fact that Catholicism never ruled America, as it once did Europe, in my opinion.

I don't thin that Mohammad lived in America. And in that time period, which is mentioned here, the Pope just ruled ... well, monarchs ruled by the idea of divine right. But that seems to be a totally different topic, Investiture controversy, concordat of Worms etc

Walter, you quoted me, and made your post coming from me. Do you often do ventriloquism?

Muslims have been brutally murdering us every chance they've gotten, often with as much cruelty as they can possibly muster.

This is clearly a lie.
