Point well taken Tony, but i still am waiting for the out cry. I understand people may be afraid and i understand reporting bias, but i don't fully buy it. I am still waiting for some cleric or high ranking leader to speak out. Where are they? If they spoke out i guarantee it would get reported because this is the exact thing, for whatever reason, people would love to hear. The press would use it to no end to prove whatever point they want to. Anyway let us agree to disagree then because i just don't see the outcry. Take care Tony and if you find any other evidence please feel free to educate me. As the wait continues.
