    Islamophobia......

    Frowned upon? Definition of sectarianism: excessive attachment to a particular sect or party, especially in religion From that definition, it sounds like the dividing line between Shia and Sunni is due to sectarianism. What does protesting against the abhorrent actions of extremists have...

    Islamophobia......

    Totally agree. @Farid, your input here, dare I say, is almost required. And this is EXACTLY what I am eluding to. Moderate Muslims may be condemning extremism but nobody is hearing them and until people hear them, Islamophobia will continue to exist in a very big way. They need to...

    The 2016 Presidential Candidates Thread

    I don't see Maher as being xenophobic. To me, it seems that he is more, specifically... Islamophobic rather than xenophobic. But in regards to Islamophobia, and I know this is off topic in this thread so I'll start another but I gotta say what I gotta say. It doesn't take too much of a...

    The 2016 Presidential Candidates Thread

    Trump fits the concept of "Cult of Personality" perfectly as does many other unsavory types and one does not have too look to far, either in the present or in the past to realize that THAT is a very scary thing. That kind of psychological power over others opens up a pandora's box that leaves...

    RIP'S.....

    Had to post this up. It was thoughts about Princes passing, by of all people, Dan Rather, but this one sentence really stood out....... "I have always marveled at those who can speak with the voice of music. It is a language so foreign to me that its fluency seems unworldly." Amen to that...

    RIP'S.....

    That guitar solo is classic. Not many people know what a great guitarist he was. One of the best...... In an interview with Eric Clapton, the interviewer asked Clapton, "What does it feel like to be the worlds greatest guitar player?" to which he responded, "I don't know. You'd have to...

    Favorite cover versions of the classics...

    I vividly remember the very first time I heard this. I was in my parents driveway in my car, the day right after serving 4 years in the Air Force, and this came on the radio. Prior to this, I was just into "normal" rock and roll. And then...............THIS and it literally turned my...
