OK, so I generally listen to Air America on my commute, but today I was listening to KVI, the Seattle conservative talk station, just to make myself nice and angry. The host (Brian somebody or other, subbing for Kirby Wilbur) was talking about that someone who was an Iraqi suggested (I can't recall now whether he just read about this or was talking with this person), said something to the effect of:
A) We should start burrying suicide bombers in pigskin bags, because Wuhabi Muslims would believe they would not go to "heaven" if they were burried such, and so would immediately help.
OK, this suggestion may be offensive, I'm not sure, it is at least trying to be pragmatic, but, then he said
B) Airlines should make their seat covers out of pigskin and advertise the fact, if that were the case 9/11 would never have happened.
I am just BLOWN away that he would even suggest such a thing. So, essentially, he does not want Jews or Muslims flying at all. Nice. Reallllly nice.

I wrote him this email:
Are you out of your MIND? Do you realize how offensive that suggestion is to the 99.999% of Muslims out there (who are not terrorist), and to every Jew as well? And to any American who respects other cultures?
Thank you for revealing yourself for what you really are. Its nice to know where you stand.
Go fuck yourself,
