My comment was supportive of Walker's article and I added my support for the popular uprising in Egypt, accompanied by a list of books about nonviolent insurrections, including nonviolent strategies in Muslim countries.

Wow what a bunch of nut cases you people are. These people are not like minded democracy patriots looking to free their people. This country like other countries in the middle east wont become democracies like us. They will be taken over by the religious nuts that hate us and our freedoms. Helping anyone in the middle east for other reasons then to save our oil price from going throught the roof is useless. These people dont like us because we are free to worship any way we please and our female population has equal rights. They dont wont equal rights for everyone just for a few. I love how you liberals always bash Fox because they dont march lockstep with what your views are. You can bash Bush and Cheney to no end on the liberal networks yet you dont say a thing about it but when Fox takes on the socialist democrats and Obama on you get your dander up. You Buck Moon are a joke. (end)
I do not like to waste my time trying to argue with anybody who gets their disinformation from Fox news, so I did not reply to him. (NOTE: I later changed my mind and did reply to him.) But for the record, nonviolence does not necessarily always translate into democracy, and the situation in Egypt is not a done deal yet, but nonviolent strategies are still a better alternative than terrorism, especially for Muslims. So, my support of nonviolent insurrections against dictators has nothing to do with my feelings about organized religion. Those are two separate subjects.
Tomorrow I am going to post a list of weblinks to nonviolent organizations that might be helpful to those of you who are sincerely interested in World Peace, along with a list of books on the subject. My website has many more articles that I have written on World Peace, Philosophy, and Psychology; the subjects I have studied in college.
After that, my next post. scheduled for Sunday, Feb 20 "True Spirituality," goes into more detail about the separation of church and state and why I believe that truly "spiritual" people should have no problem with secular governments.
I hope to hear from you then.
