"Two famous men with ethnic Muslim ties..."
Since when is "Muslim" an ethnicity?????? There is no such thing as "ethnic Muslim ties". A Muslim is not a member of an ethnic group; a Muslim is a member of a religious group. If these sexiest men alive believe in Allah and Muhammad, they are Muslim. If they don't, they are not -- no matter which ethnic group they come from.
Barak, I agree. you are witnessing the mindset of a muslim. They're agenda is to promote Islam as an "ethnicity" even though there are more than one ethnic group. And I oppose Islam. After finding out that Dr. Oz is a muslim, I will never support his project again. Especially since muslims kill nonmuslims in other countries, I do not have to celebrate not support Islam. And because I see that muslims use "angels of light" Taquiyya & Kitman, I refuse to support any project in which a muslim is in. I was a fan of Dr. Oz and Parks and Recreation.
daughter of Yisrael, the insanity of extremism exists among all religions. Take a look at the jewish settlers. They are radical thugs. Every religion can be perverted into militant extremism, even Judaism. Individuals can choose how extreme to be. The way Israel was brought into existence, and the west's unwillingness to punish Israel when it commits genocide are the major causes of the massive extremism in the muslim world. Until Israel and Palestine come to peace with eachother extremism will flourish, and people will die. Don't delude yourself into thinking that your beloved Israel has clean hands. Israel's hands are stained with blood, as are the radical Palestinians and terrorists.
