While taking my civil Affairs course in Fort Bragg in the summer of 2007, I met an American army officer that have converted to Islam and his was Sufi Islam. He told me that sufis are kind of like the hippies of Islam. They are hated by the sunnis in many respects. They dance they pray to Saints and a lot of what they do both Hezbollah and Isis hate. Recently, they decapitated in 91 year old Sufi cleric claiming he was a witch. The sufis should not suffer like this. I suspect that it was Isis because reports have said that Isis had threatened them in the past.

Media has been coring it. The just do not cover that small mumbernof killings in nation like Egypt. The same reason applies to the Christian witch hunter killing pagans and animists people in sub_Saharan nd central Africa you unwillingness to read what they are reporting is your problem not theirs.

Excuse me Nelson? Unwillingness, I just happen to be listening to NPR yesterday which brings up stuff at random. I'm not against animist or pagan. For one thing, my wife is native and I've gone to sweats and evenly were forced into Christianity and we're forced to be Catholics or Protestants in Canada, they still were able to retain their old ways even at the residential school system killed many and messed up tens of thousands of kids were forced to not speak their language, have their haircut and before she removed from their homes for a few years. The second and third order of effects of that has been high alcoholism, High divorce rate and promiscuity by native men and women, High suicide rates and extreme drug use and introduction of American Or Hispanic gang man style rap, drugs, drive-by shootings all because of a broken generation of natives have had to suffer. Luckily, some of them have retain their ways and I have gone to at least 10 different sweats or I have seen Supernatural things happen that you wouldn't believe. So don't tell me that I'm being selective on the media. If anything, the media is selective of what they want to publish. We have favoritism not just in the liberal media but in politics as well going back decades to Chicago, New York and many other places that I can't remember right now. I just think your statement is unfair because you're making it sound like I am purposely being close-minded when it was just a stroke of luck that I happened to run into a Sufi captain in civil affairs who told me about Sufi ISM. He was a white bald-headed man in his early forties who had converted to Islam. I am not close-minded. My mother is from Honduras I speak Spanish I have Irish, Honduran, Latino, black, Judaism and even Spanish Basque in my background. Maybe you weren't meaning me but you can't imply that people here are purposely excluding stuff. As you have noticed, I print articles from Canada on a regular basis that cover subjects that sometimes isn't covered by the western or American Media to add balance to rallypoint.

Roger, no issues, I suggest mainstream media links to make point. It's the cooperate and graduate ethos of helping the uninformed learn in the event they had been watching game shows and not the news. Case in point, when I was in my intermediate leadership class we had a medical Corps Lieutenant Colonel who was almost failing the first phase of the class due to lack of participation in group discussion. This Lieutenant Colonel did not read the paper nor did he watch news shows or listen 2 News Radio. I suggested National Public Radio, read the paper daily and even watching PBS news and or Wolf Blitzer Situation Room on CNN so we could catch up to speed on world events that were discussed in our class.

President Trump does not genuflect to terrorists like obama did.
