The political landscape increasing intensity. Information a click or google away. A torture twisting cauldron of beliefs,emotions...... The decadent wine from the abuse can be addictive.

Wow it is amazing to see the transformation of Cat Stephens to
Yusef Islam. He has publicly stated that he would cut the head off
of Saloman Rushdi if he was ordered to for mocking the prophet.
I suppose that Yusef would compare it to capital punishment here
in the states when we feel that a cold blooded murderer who has no
remorse should get the death sentence. You can compare it to any
number of things I suppose that may make you feel that our culture
and Yusef's culture are morally equivalent.
Again I don't want to express that Yusef is a terrorist that wants to
cold blood kill Christians.
You know I have no doubt after listening to him that he is probably a
wonderful man, and doesn't think in terms of violence.
However when John Stewart and Stephen Colbert want to restore
sanity, and make a statement that the right wing Christians views are
too extreme, then you have to wonder when they want a representative
of this brand of Islam to express restoring sanity.
These boys like to be the fun sane hip ones, but look deeper before
you just get on the bandwagon of being cool with Stewart and Colbert.
They mock things that maybe they just don't understand.
Just as maybe we don't totally understand Yusef's world.
