We need more real authentic Muslims on this forum to give Texmaster and others like him people to really debate with in Israel/Palestine issues. Instead, we have conversation between the Israeli left and right. Or easy targets like the "European wussies" that post negative views of Israel and get torn up for it.

I will try to find some Muslims for this forum (unless I forget). Then you can hear them spew their anti-semitic terrorist-loving ideals firsthand! ;)

Also, let's not forget all the threads about Islam where everybody is totally clueless, and where one AT member refers to the Koran as something like "one big kill jew-boy rant,"

with no Muslims to respond.

I could debate with you / them also. I'm Christian, but I know what the Koran is basicly about. It's not far off from Christianity / the Bible either. Anyways, I wouldn't debate anything about religons tied with war, etc. To me, it's silly. The people fighting for their religous belifes and dying in their God's name has them running around with their thumb up their a$$.

HAHAHHA I wonder how many of the children I am argueing with are the same person? :)

Actually what we need are more people just use one account instead of trying to use an alter ego in an arguement :)

Debates are great to learn from. I have learned quite a bit in many debates. Nemesis77 and Czar are great examples for me.

In others however, the simplicty and stupidy some people show simply deserve to be called what they are.

I can go to just about any thread I'm in a heating political debate and see no profile, low posting users who only show up right then.

Its no secret.

I agree that there will always be stupidity to some extent, but the good posts far outweigh the bad...

How awesome would that be to get a serious thread going debating the two sides of the Israel/Palestinian conflict without any name calling...

You would have to ensure statements like "the Church of the Nativity is not an important Christian icon in the world "are kept out :)

Well, I'm an agnostic with an Islamic upbringing. Staying out of the Palestine vs. Israel threads has been an unconcious effort of late because, mainly:

A) Most if not all of you have no expertise in what you're saying;
B) After all the talk is done, nobody's changed their POV and nobody's opinion really matters;
C) We're not talking about the faiths at all anyways;
D) It's all been said 1000x before, and more interestingly at that.

If people would like to discuss the facts about the Koran and such or someone is needed to come in and do corrections/verifications, give me a PM or something! I've already tried to address a lot of misconceptions in a week-old thread here: The Bible vs. The Koran on various issues of Man.

Who says there is a conspiracy? Does it take a conspiracy to grab another E-Mail address, set up an account and post? Well, a dumb-ass like you would need help.

Ghost-boy,

Can either you or your companion tex please provide us with links to all of these threads where this conspiracy is taking place?
For all we know, you are simply a fabrication of tex to defend his extreme viewpoints.

No conspiracy? Damn. And I was just gonna' ask you and Tex if I could join. I'm tired of just being part of the vast right wing conspiracy. I'm looking for a new one.

Tex, are your extreme viewpoints fake? Are you a false prophet?

That must explain why my account was created back in October 1999, but TexMaster registered in June 2001. You're still pegging a 10 on the Dumb Ass meter Lucky.

Hey, tex is the one claiming people are making up accounts left and right just to anonymously attack him. Like he's THAT important.

As for who is the dumbass, I may have been wrong in my (sarcasic) accusation that you=tex, but at least Im not scared by the ghosts of old ladies. :p
