Rereading America
I read "America the Beautiful: What We're Fighting For" by Dinish D' Souza. He has bitterly crtitisized Islamic society and its way of life without knowing true meaning of Islam . In my opinion, All five fingers are not equal and in the same way all muslims are not extremists. Good and bad people are present everywhere and in every religion.
No doubt, there is a difference in culture and traditions between islamic countries and western countries but these differences should be respected without any kind of hatred. Muslims should keep along with the needs of new age world for advancement without forgetting Islamic teachings. No one should should force its way of life on others. I accept that the extrmists like taliban are doing curse and representing Islam in wrong way. Taliban and other extremists are not following true islamic teachings. Islam is a beautiful religion...these extremists like taliban are worst followers.
There should be an end to those kind of extremists but I do not agree on the war point because war is no solution as it is killing more innocent people than the bad ones.

Whoever vs Whomever
I, sometimes, mix up with using whoever with whomever. Here is the rule that cleared my concept :

To determine whether to use whoever or whomever, here is the rule: | ||
| Examples: | Give it to whoever/whomever asks for it first. Give it to him. He asks for it first. Therefore, Give it to whoever asks for it first. | |
| We will hire whoever/whomever you recommend. We will hire him. You recommend him. him + him = whomever | ||
| We will hire whoever/whomever is most qualified. We will hire him. He is most qualified. him + he = whoever | ||
| Rule 2. | When the entire whoever/whomever clause is the subject of the verb that follows the clause, look inside the clause to determine whether to use whoever or whomever. | |
| Examples: | Whoever is elected will serve a four-year term. Whoever is elected is the subject of will serve. Whoever is the subject of is. | |
Whomever you elect will serve a four-year term. Whomever you elect is the subject of will serve. Whomever is the object of you elect. | ||
