Hi,
I don't understand this.
 
Why--just because you live in a world of news and information which does  not 
subscribe to any of the other nuances of Islam does not mean that all others  
are?
 
Can you not see that there are nuances in belief systems?  And how it  
hinders both dialogue and understanding by having the expectation that all are  
the 
same?  
 
So--by you being a neoconservative--does that mean you don't believe in  
balancing the budget?  Does that mean you believe in fiscal  irresponsibility?  
Does that mean that you want to bomb the world just  because they don't 
practice 
capitalism--and capitalism in its form that allows  for complete and utter 
disregard for human life and the world's  environment?  
 
Do you believe that all women should not be given equal rights? Do you  
believe that it is a lie that women make less money than men do for the same  
job?  
 
Um, let's see--what are the other beliefs of neo-conservatives?
 
You subscribe to them all?
 
Best,
