I hope that all those who claim there is something inherently violent in Islam read this New York Times article about the growth of Islam after the Rwandan genocide:
Muslim leaders credit the gains to their ability during the 1994 massacres to shield most Muslims, and many other Rwandans, from certain death. "The Muslims handled themselves well in '94, and I wanted to be like them," said Alex Rutiririza, explaining why he converted to Islam last year.
Bonjour!
Interesting thread. If you have time :

painting
Considering how woeful offtopic the link was (if you really want to see Iv Toshain's website, click on the poster's name, which goes through MT's redirection system), I initially wondered why the hell this was posted here.
Then, thinking about the double occurence of the word "painting" got me thinking about Googlebombs. Nice try, but you have to get up pretty early to slip one past me.
