"up shit creek......" uhm-----I am not familiar with that one
Well how about " a one legged man going to an ass kicking party". That's what toxic reminds me of.
I find it interesting when people assume things about other people on an anonymous internet message board.
The first time I ever heard that one about a "one legged man" was said by a guy from he South years ago. Up "shit's creek" is an old expression.

Can I assume something? From his Avatar, he reminds me of the American soldier who brought back a War Bride when he was stationed in Iraq. I don't know if any of you remember that particular story.
Sally----if you are referring to roudy and his avatar-----I do not think
you can make that assumption------but I may be wrong
No, not Roudy. The guy Toxic.
Promoting Islamophobia
The Main Purveyors of Islamophobia
Written by
Hillary Smith
The Roots
The roots of Islamophobia in America can be traced to a small, well-funded and well-connected network of āmisinformation expertsā who use Islamophobia as a
tool to promote the Israeli agenda here within the United States.
According to a research study conducted by the Center for American Progress entitled
Fear, Inc., there are five key purveyors who manipulate Islamophobia to further the USās support of Israel:
Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security Policy,
David Yerushalmi of the Society of Americans for National Existence,
Daniel Pipes of the Middle East Forum, Robert Spencer of both Jihad Watch and Stop Islamization of America and
Steven Emerson of the Investigative Project on Terrorism. American billionaire
Sheldon Gary Adelson, terrorism āexpertā Evan Kohlmann, journalist Jennifer
Rubin, and Emergency Committee for Israelās founding member,
Rachel Abrams additionally contribute to this network.
Promoting Islamophobia Council for the National Interest
How about a link to one of the esteemed medical journals that has details of the first case of islamophobia. This is a made up term by the neo Marxist left wing politically correct because they wore out Nazi, Fascist and Racist. What is really meant is they are describing those who have studied the religion of islam and know more than they should about the tenents and commands written in Islam's holy books. There have been no recorded cases of anyone showing abject fear to the point of death in the presence of any item connected with islam.
I had a very HIGH opinion of islam-----until I learned all about it----mostly from muslims who told me about its "BEAUTY". The first version of the Koran which I read was the PICTHALL version. It had a forward written by the translator----I was not quite
20 and it was LONG LONG ago. No computers back then. The forward was fascinating in its claims------apparently this person , Muhummad invented everything
from the wheel to sliced bread. I had been an avid reader since I was a small child----
and really liked OLD stuff-------so I knew things about ----OLD TIMES. The forward to the Koran translation confused me It stated that MUHUMMAD invented the idea
of freeing slaves----and "charity" and ----"democracy" and even "women's rights".
such as "ownership of land"--------???? Based on what Picthall claimed for
muhummad------muhummad would have had to have lived 7000 years ago. I was
shocked when I checked the encyclopedia Britannica and discovered that this person
"muhummad" lived less than 1400 years ago-----then I read the book-----<YUCK> what a bastard!!!!!
My experience is that many Muslims are decent, tolerant, honorable people IN SPITE OF ISLAM, not because of. In other words, although their countries got invaded and looted by Arabs / Muslims, and this new faith and culture was forced upon them, many of them still held on to their original culture and traditions. Persia for example, is the worlds first democracy that established human rights and equality as law by Cyrus The Great over 2500 years ago. You can see this as a historical artificial in the Cuneiform in the Louvre Museum in Paris. Which is why Iranians in general (those who aren't very religious) have kept this tradition of coexistence, and do not exhibit the intolerance that Islam forced upon them.
I see this when I go into a small Iranian market in my neighborhood. The Muslim and Jewish Iranian shoppers happily get along with each other. In fact, outside there are several newspaper racks. They papers are all in Farsi, except one which is in Hebrew, and the Muslims shoppers certainly have not told the owner to stop displaying the one in Hebrew. I was in there the other day and happened to be speaking to a Muslim woman in front of me while we waited for the cashier. For some reason she asked if I was an Armenian. I told her no, that I was a New Yorker (once a New Yorker, always a New Yorker). Anyhow, I was unaware that Armenians have blue eyes, but you never know. One is always being made aware of how proud the Iranians are of their Persian heritage. If you happen to ask them where they come from, they invariably say Persia, not Iran. In fact, in the 70's I happened to be in the Base Exchange of the Los Angeles Air Force Base where I noticed some foreign military airmen also shopping. They were from the Iranian Air Force, but when I first asked where they were from, they said Persia.
I think that was back then SALLY------IRAN has become ****IRAN*****
back in the 70s-----a newcomer doc to the hospital in which I had a weekend
job stopped---(I was receptionist) and announced his name and said
with an air of PRIDE AND DEFIANCE-----"I AM AN IRANIAN----NOT AN ARAB"---
I had no idea at that point as to what 'NOT AN ARAB' meant------but it happens
to be VERY VERY IMPORTANT--------.....never accuse an Iranian (or even
a persian) of being AN ARAB-----also---never accuse a turk of being an arab.
that was early 70s-----I believe that "persian" came into vogue---
during the HOSTAGE CRISIS------sounded better than bringing up
))))))) IRAN <gasp> ((((((((((
speaking of newspapers-----the only places near my home for
hubby to get his daily supply of Israeli newspapers is the
arab shop down the street--------he does the Yiddish papers too.
I was a little taken aback when I walked into that store for the first
time and he kinda automatically pointed to the piles of Hebrew papers.
