Tony: I don't think you would know what progressive is. Read the mission statement - http://pnews.org/signup.shtml - There is no anti-Palestinian bias here. There is only the requirment that we tell the truth and that seems to be your problem. Islam has always been a philosophy and culture of oppression and aggression. When Islam modernizes, if that is possible, there may then be a real effort to use reason and dispense with Muslim hate for those who don't think as they do. In that you remind me of them.
