Microsoft Just Can't Quit Yahoo

itwbennett writes "Back in October, rumors surfaced (and then quickly subsided) that Microsoft was considering another bid to purchase Yahoo. Now the rumors are back, and this time Microsoft is said to be in talks with other prospective buyers about some kind of partnership to acquire the troubled Internet company."

    Do you know that Arabic speaking Christians refer to "The Father" as Allah?

    Please refer to the Crusades and Inquisition.

    I am not sure what you are saying here. That murder and killing is alight because the Crusaders and Inquisition did it in medieval times (so we could start doing it again ourselves), or that everyone should get a turn at being murderous and uncivilised so that we should just let the Muslims get on with it?

    How about mass-killings of civilians Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan by Christians? Should we let Christians get on with it?

    Of course not - but I expect you are talking about fighting Muslim terrorists who started it, which should be allowed.

    Who started what? Iraq war was started on the false report of WMDs. And as a result hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have suffered and the whole infrastructure of the Muslim country has been lost.

    And by the way let me remind you that Taliban was created by Christian US to stop USSR communism. If you breed snakes, you should not complain when they beat you. Also if you bother bees you will not be safe even inside your run away to your home.

    Leave Muslim countries and be safe (if you can ever ignore their oil).

    I think you will find that Muslims are killing non-Muslims in Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, and many countries that were not involved in the invasion of Iraq (which was a huge mistake that I opposed at the time). Like we are now finding with the "Arab Spring", but we should have known already from Afghanistan and Iraq it is better for Muslim countries to be controlled by a dictator than by an Islamic theocracy.
