Sigh.
The net amount paid is the same. It's just altered names of stuff to get around what even they realize is a silly restriction.
Now, as to Muslims:
Y'all may be aware that I'm the guy that wiped out the Million Mom March as a functional organization, right? I'm one of the two RKBA activists who proved that the MMM defrauded the city and county of SF of millions of bucks, and got 'em thrown out on their butts. See also:

Well guess what? Nadja is a convert to a moderate, very sane form of Islam. Mind you, she IS an American, and an NRA firearms instructor and dedicated RKBA activist. She's probably got a better track record than most of the people talking on this thread.
Now, she hates Osama Yo Mama as much as any of us. We've discussed this in detail - basically, the forms of Islam that have taken root in Saudi Arabia and Iran are so totally perverted it's disgusting. In the case of the "Wahabi" Arab variant, what's really going on is that truly weird, sexually perverted views of female sexuality going WAY back before Mohammed are still embedded in the culture. It's NOT Islam! Female circumcision, the "honor killings", the extreme restrictions on women's rights, that's ARAB CULTURE being "embedded" into Islam and used as an excuse for all kinds of horrific crap.
We're dealing with a bunch of friggin' barbarians here. Religion is just an excuse, a bad one they can't even justify out of their own holy book.
Example: Mohammed's wives cruised around on their own camels. So what the hell is this Saudi thing about women not driving?
The Koran actually mentions Arab cultural sickness where female sexuality was concerned. Example: it was common practice for a father to kill at least one of his own daughters long before she'd hit puberty, so she could "die pure". Mohammed specifically put a stop to that practice but think a sec: what sort of sick motherfuckers was he dealing with that he HAD to do so!?
We're at war with a twisted Arab culture! The damn Arabs used a lot of that oil money to open up low-budget schools all over the "Islamic world" to teach an absolutely diseased form of "Islam", as far away as the Philippines. THAT is what we're fighting. That's where the "Taliban" came from.
Saudi Arabia is going to show it's true colors pretty soon now - the moderates in the House of Saud won't be able to hang on. Cool. Bring it on. THAT is the core of the cancer.
We'll have a lot of sane Islamic US citizens FIRMLY on our side, starting with Nadja.
