I agree with AZP0027, your article is offensive to all Muslims, but I guess that was the whole point of writing it. I also agree that you need to do some research before making strong statement of the “philosophical basis for the Muslim faith is that ALL infidels must be killed.” kind! The Philosophical bases of Islam are Monotheism, and the responsibility bestowed upon mankind to develop and sustain the universe.

“O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into Nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (Not that ye may despise (Each other). Verily the most honored of you in the sight of God is (he who is) the most Righteous of you. And God has full knowledge and is well acquainted with all things).” Al-Ĥujurāt (13).

This is a verse from the Qur’an, which I bet you have never read, but still allow yourself to make false statements about its content. I can also guess that you don’t know any Muslims, as a Muslim myself, I would never tell anybody that an infidel is any one who is not Muslim, Instead I would refer to the Qur’an and share with them this verse from Al-Baquarre (62)

“Those who believe (in the Qur-ān), And those who follow the Jewish (scriptures),

And the Christians and the Sabians, - Any who believe in God And the Last Day, And work righteousness, Shall have their reward With their Lord: on them Shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.”

In all religions there are fanatics whose actions can distort that religion’s image. As educated people and students of a research university we have the responsibility of setting a good example by applying rational thinking that is based on accurate data collection (from multiple sources) and analysis.

It looks as if the people who are working on bacterial fuels are reaching the same conclusions that we have been writing about....we need a political effort to get large scale plantings of the grasses in place of Cotton and Corn. The best place to start is to make the US Congress live up to our treaty obligation to remove the Cotton Subsidy, as signed into law during the WTO Hong Kong round (DEC. 2005). Our WTO negotiator, Rob Portman, twisted arms and got the first WTO Treaty signed, by promising, in writing, that we would comply with the verdict of the World Court, (after losing 4 times to that date, and once more since then)to end our Cotton subsidy. If you wonder why we did not get a climate agreement in Copenhagen, you might see that we are not trustworthy when it comes to treaties...ask a native American about that. Anyway, we need more people of foresight to rally around the environmental issues that matter most. Mr. Portman, had to resign from the WTO, because he couldn't face his fellow ministers and the foreign press about the fact that the ink wasn't even dry, before the Cotton subsidy was right back in the 2010 Farm Bill....That's why I keep asking "why would Nancy Pelosi, no Neocon she, be pushing a treaty busting Farm Bill? She doesn't know much about farming, but ole Arlin Spector does, and when he offered to turn back into a Democrat, I'm pretty sure, he wanted to keep that subsidy that he had shepherded for many years for his Agro Business constituents, and the Dems really needed him....just saying....
