Do you believe in MIRACLES.....?

Q: Do you believe in Miracles or are they just Coincidences?
Are coincidences a sequence of events that seem accidental
or have they been planned and arranged?

Best-selling author and pilot, Richard Bach was barnstorming in the Midwest in 1966
with a rare biplane, a 1929 Detroit-Parks P-2A Speedster of which only 8 had been built.
The 'plane was piloted by a friend who upended it when he was coming in to land.
They were able to fix everything except for one part which made everything seem hopeless because of the 'plane's rarity. Just the a man came along offering to help. Bach said sarcastically,
“Sure. Do you happen to have an inter-wing strut for a 1929 Detroit-Parks Speedster, model P-2A?" The man walked over to his hangar and came back shortly with the part. Bach concludes: The odds against our breaking the biplane in a little town that happened to be home to a man with the 40-year-old part to repair it; the odds that he would be on the scene when the event happened; the odds that we'd pushed the plane right next to his hangar, within ten feet of the part we needed - the odds were so high that coincidence was a foolish answer..."

Here is another example:-

A German mother who photographed her infant son in 1914 and left the film to be developed at a store in Strasbourg. In those days some film plates were sold individually. World War I broke out and unable to return to Strasbourg, the woman gave up the picture for lost. Two years later she bought a film plate in Frankfurt, over 100 miles away, to take a picture of her newborn daughter. When developed the film turned out to be a double exposure, with the picture of her daughter superimposed on the earlier picture of her son. Through some incredible twist of fate, her original film, never developed, had been mislabeled as unused, and had eventually been resold to her."

I personally believe that nothing is accidental and I believe in miracles,
so on a lighter note, listen to the following:-

@ Harriet Pilkington,
Thank you for answering...
It was not me that said "coincidence was a foolish answer..." It was Bach!
However, I do agree with him and "yes" you're right, I am not foolish,
at least not all the time ...lol

A: Yes that was a miracle.. God alimghty let the miracles happen so yes I do believe in miracles

Am I a bigot for believing that "two men being questioned over suspicious luggage" were certain to be muslim?

Q: Here's the article I noticed about an hour ago:

Source: Two men, one with a Detroit address, questioned over suspicious luggage on Amsterdam flight http://www.mlive.com/news/detroit/index.ssf/2010/08/source_two_men_one_with_a_detr.html#incart_hbx

Three years ago, articles like this would have been titled "two detroit area muslims held on questioning for suspicious luggage". Somehow now, literally all media outlets have been submitted on this pc-mat. No more use of the word "muslim" in article titles about muslim terror or attempted islamist terror attacks.

Anyways, that observation aside, whenever I see articles like this, I always assume they are muslims and I am always right. Of course, events like this are common place now and we are all basically so desensitized to them , we don't even notice or pick-up on the trend. If you ever keep count, you would recognize that there are several stories like this every month.

So am I a bigot for making these assumptions without seeing the word "muslim" in the title? Does the fact that almost all armed conflict worldwide is Islamic add or hurt here? How about me being right all the time? Does reality change things at all. Everytime it's about a terror attempt, low and behold, we have another Islamist.
SINDELLE: I will. ty.
GOAT: Court appearance list? You must be thinking of state courts in places with few muslims. Federal courts are where terrorists are tried if im not mistaken. Now that dockett is packed with "muhammad's" and "rahmans".

Anyway, almost all armed conflict worldwide is Islamic. That says it all. Totally. What else do we need to know?
Love Gellar's website. ty again.
MASTER CHIEF: It's true that correlation doesnt mean causation but you failed to connect any dots here. Wheres the application in this case. Almost all armed conflict worldwide is Islamic. Jihadists who succeed in killing kafirs (nonmuslims) for allah almost always praise allah while killing for him. The quran is loaded with these commandments to kill. Taken together, the case is undeniable. The cause is the religion itself. The doctrine.

A: The AP issued a bulletin stating that NOTHING which could be considered "derogatory" toward Muslims is allowed to be printed.

EDIT: Very welcome. You might also want to read this, regarding the Associated Press printing untrue stories about war crimes in the Middle East:

Also read this: The Society of Professional Journalists issued these "guidelines" shortly after 9/11:

EDIT: You are correct. I spent yesterday watching beheading after beheading after beheading after beheading done by these people and as soon as they start cutting, they all start screaming, "Allah Akbar! [ God is great!]"
