Is this Allah the same God as the one worshipped by Christians, Jews, and other monotheists?

If you answered "Yes" then you are targeting and killing your brethren, which is an abomination unto the Lord.

If you answered "No" then you are admitting that there are other Gods, which is an abomination unto the Lord.

Do us all a favor - grow up and join the Modern Day. If you don't like our American commericialism, then don't buy the products at all. Boycotts can do wonders. And - FYI - we're sick of Britney and Madonna too. We just don't blow up people over them.

Lakers Preseason
The Lakers open their preseason tinight and I'm already sick of Kobe acting like the Second Coming. I expect this team will suck mightily. I expect Kobe will complain unendingly. I hope that Lamar Odom just keeps quiet, smiles a lot, and demonstrates a Malone-like level of class and hard work. With luck, Kobe will go and the Lakers might have a real chance at rebuilding into Contenders again.

WYEIWYS
Or "What-you-expect-is-what-you-see", meaning that those watching the debates will see Kerry as stiff and dull and Bush dynamic if they expect that (e.g. Republicans). Or if you're a Democrat (or maybe not) you may see Kerry as Presidential material and Bush as a smirking, arrogant, mediocre, privileged, jack-rear. The 3rd debate should be interesting. Hopefully Kerry will drive home the fact that Bush has left the coop to the foxes, and pretty much ignored domestic issues. Hopefully Kerry will riposte Bush's claim with facts, along the lines of:

Bush: I started the "No Child Left Behind" program...

Kerry: And grossly underfunded the program.

Domestic policies are Bush's weakness and Kerry should have a field day.
