Okay, I just asked the girl I work with. She said it means what it says! "Peace around the world." Should I ask another? I'd rather not because the first girl now thinks I'm strange!

That may be because she's been americanized. Either that or she isn't really clued in to what you're asking. I'm quite serious in saying that, it's a direct quote from a number of muslims (notably some from south africa, a hotbed of islamic activity)

Sir Krustin. This is from the CIA World Fact Book on South Africa.

Religions
Christian 68% (includes most whites and Coloreds, about 60% of blacks and about 40% of Indians), Muslim 2%, Hindu 1.5% (60% of Indians), indigenous beliefs and animist 28.5%

South Africa is <u>NOT</u> a hotbed of islamic activity.

Maybe South Africa has been Americanized?

You actually said ask any muslim. Now you are saying that you heard it from a number of muslims. Please don't generalise.

I asked the muslim girl I work with if she is americanised and she tells me that she has never been to america in her life although she hopes to go to disneyworld one day. She still thinks I'm even more strange after asking that, but now I'm blaming you.

Generalisations and assumptions - don't cha just love 'em!

Have you ever been there? I can introduce you to some South Africans. Come on over.

EDIT>Reflecting on this, I thought I should clarify...Al Qaeda and Bin Laden are well known in SA. Lots of muslims in SA name their children after Bin Laden as he is their hero. Long before most Americans ever heard the name, he blew up everything American in SA in the name of his pet obsession. Yes, SA is a hotbed of islamic activity.

When the two towers were hit, some SA friends of mine immediately blamed Bin Laden for it. Lots of people thought they were psychic. :D

YOU are a troll.

Would a pre-emptive Nuclear strike on the Soviet union by the USA have therefore been okay?
What about during the 7-day crisis in Cuba?
How close did we come to war then? Very close IIRC.
What if someone then had decided then to make a pre-emptive strike?
After all, It’s not like the soviet union was anything but an evil empire, But Would a war with them have caused the destruction of life as we know it?
Probably.

There are some Germans who are neo-nazis, therefore all Germans are neo-nazis.
You see how it works?
