  1. I have also noticed that a lot of the real big body builders in NYC
    gyms are Muslim or Arabic or otherwise swarthy Middle Eastern-looking.
    Why, just the other day in that park at the northern end of the east
    Brooklyn greenway, there was a small group of definitely Muslim men
    doing kung-fu!

    EXCERPTS

    Is there something about today's preening and narcissistic gym culture
    that either nurtures terrorists or massages their self-delusions and
    desires? Mosques, even radical ones, emphasize Muslims' relationships
    with others-whether it be God, the ummah (Islamic world), or the
    local community. The gym, on the other hand, allows individuals to
    focus myopically on themselves. Perhaps it was there, among the
    weightlifting and rowing machines, that these Western-based terror
    cells really set their course.

    I suspect nobody is going to reply, because you actually used the word
    "muslim."

    I really am not in the mood for this [censored].

    Please do NOT tell me where (the) Islam, and Mulsims stand for.

    Please dont...

    Consider yourself killfiled.

    Brink seems to think it's appropriate.
