Ok, all you mental retards, stop with Islam/Muslim bashing. To me - a Muslim immigrant, it just seems that Americans need a common enemy every few years. Prior to your Islamophobia, all of you were perpetually in fear of the Red Army/Communism. Do you all not have better things to do that stir up hatred based on wild theories and premises that even I as a Muslim have never, ever heard?

You can quote all sorts of historical precedences where nations of Muslim majority have acted out in (by your perception) uncivilized manner, or supported acts of terrorism. No country, race, religion is free from its bad elements. The United States ITSELF is committing an act of terror in Iraq. So the difference is we use million dollar weapons, while the opposite side uses human bombs. I'd say the opposite side has move conviction and valor than our forces because they are fighting to free the land of an occupier.

For those who pull out the Palestine/Israel conflict, it is almost laughable how you all blame one side while the other is portrayed as the saint. For those who dont know history, Israel has OCCUPIED Palestine land. The Palestinians have been fighting to regain their occupied land. If a Palestinian straps on a bomb on his body and blows himself up in a cafe, there's an IDF "soldier" who shoots a 13 year old unarmed girl, and then proceeds to "confirm" the kill. Both sides have been at fault, but no, if anyone says something about Israel, he/she is an anti-Semite, but if a Muslim tries to defend his/her religion and people, they're terrorists apologists

And for those cretins who keep pointing to 9/11, that act was committed by NINETEEN people. There are over 7 million Muslims in the US of A. Have they rammed planes into buildings since they've moved to this country? Or committed an act of violence or terror? Oh, but they're "good" Muslims who are moderate and preach human kindness and blah blah blah. The "bad" Muslims preach hatred and violence. This may come as a shocker to you, but bad people preach violence and hatred, not members of a certain race or religion.

Lastly, regarding those who keep pointing most terrorists are Muslims, but the last time I check the world history, Muslims were more terrorised than any other people of any other religion. Lets start counting the regions where Muslims have suffered tremendously:
* Afghanistan - Soviet occupation for years, over a MILLION killed, subsequent sanctions leading to complete degeneration of infrastructure, widespread poverty, poorest nation in the world. Afghans dead
* Chechnya - Small little republic, Russian forces have FLATTENED Grozny, troops routinely rape women, torture is common, read www.bbcnews.com Chechnyans dead
* Bosnia - There's another thread with information about 7,000 Muslims were massacred at Srebrenica. thread Many more were killed. There's videos about Serbian soldier playing football (soccer) with a child's head they just cut off, in front of his mother.
* Iraq - The clearest example of American terror, where we spin the events to portray Iraqi people as terrorists, people like Moqtada Al Sadr. 10000+ civilians killed by estimates. If this is not terror, I dont know how YOU all define it. I never even heard of Zarqawi before this invasion. And hey, now he's the terrorist.
* Palestine - people downtrodden by an occupied force for over 50 years. Without absolving them of the blame, they have received more than enough of punishment from the Israeli government in the past 50+ years. In the last 4 years alone, over 3000 Palestinians have been killed by Israel/IDF. I dont think all 3000 were suicide bombers.
* Kashmir - According to former State Minister of Kashmir, Farooq Abdullah?s 1996 statement estimated 50,000 killings "since the beginning of the uprising." People have still never been given the right to exercise their freedom of choice, and approximately 600000 Indian soldiers are stationed in Kashmir.

So in the past 20 years alone, over a million Muslims have been killed. So who is the terrorist now?

Who's the troll? While I would be willing to debate and discuss your topic, your trollish attitude prevents me from taking you too seriously. Lay off the name calling and flamebait a bit, and maybe you'll get some intelligent responses.

Hey,

I think that most of us here realize that not all Muslims are insane people. We're not stupid. As with any group, you've got your majority "mundane" population who basically believes but is otherwise busy trying to get through day to day life, and you've got your Uber-obsessed wackos who go around murdering anyone who disagrees with them.

A thousand years ago the Muslims were the Civilized group while the Christians went around murdering everyone who looked non-Christian. Crusades, anyone? Hell, even today, even in *America*, where we claim to value liberty above all else, we still get the occasional Christian nut ball who blows some abortion doctor's head off or leads his followers to mass suicide so they can ride the Jesus comet. We KNOW all that.

What we're scared of, and RIGHTLY so, are the militant extremists who want to kill us. People like bin Laden, people like the men who sacrificed themselves to fly planes into peaceful buildings and murder innocent people, they ARE dangerous. They're a danger to every living thing, INCLUDING your average, everyday Muslim. If ANYTHING is going to get your faith persecuted and slaughtered, it's going to be the extremists. And not to be harsh, not to judge YOU, because you seem a decent fellow, but if it takes leveling the whole middle-east in order to stop these people from killing the rest of the civilized world--so be it.

It sucks, and I empathize, but there IS a valid concern here that needs to be addressed.

I guess we had good reason to fear the Russians, eh? ;)
Anyway, lighten up. Not all Americans view all Muslims as the bad guy.

Ok. I agree with your basic premise. We need a balanced policy in the Middle East but don't have one under Bush. And, Israel under Sharon has been a disaster from my point of view. I also agree that Israel gets a pass for the most part from the media while it is easy to demonize Muslims, though some of it is certainly inadvertent.

The hard part is saying where do we go from here? How do we turn this conflagration into dialogue and peace? Both sides have hardened as is so often the case.

What steps could a new President take to stabilize the region and bring Israel and the Palestinians together? Who has a workable peace plan?

Yes, this Country is run by tards now. Only the Neocons would disagree with you.

I have been saying how it is apparent the ones in Power need people to discriminate against.

France is doing the same thing.

We have a diversion going on to lessen the impact on the Religious Non-Christian Community as far as attacking the Gay Community.

So don't feel so bad you have a lot of company.


Your Title is a bit off, really should be Culturist Haters rather than Terrorists.

Terrorists is more reserved for (911) and the like.

While most of your post is valid, bin Laden is but one individual and by US estimates, (pardon me for not relying on them much based on Iraq's evidence), Al-Qaeda has a total of 15000 members. We just killed about that many INNOCENT civilians in Iraq.

So why do you suggest levelling of the Middle East? The entire city of Dearborn, Michigan hosts thousands of Middle Easterners. Do you suggest we bomb Dearborn as well?

Hey, I'm scared of extremists too, such as Mr. Bush who is guided by God to make decisions such as attacking Iraq... :roll: In fact, now many Middle Easterners will be afraid of the extremist America, and they'll turn towards extremism themselves.

You have just centered on the Middle East. My question after my evidences is:

So in the past 20 years alone, over a million Muslims have been killed. So who is the terrorist now?

I would classify any father who would willingly murder a son/daughter (and probably only the daughter) for infidelity as a radical islamic fundatmental terrorist, even if he's only terrorizing his own family. Sounds like preaching of hatred and violence to me.

I would characterize someone who refuses to acknowledge Osama Bin Laden's orchestration of 9/11 a supporter of terrorism.

So, in my opinion, and based on your logic, you are the terrorist.

It's just all a part of globalism, and that's good right?

Fact is, most muslim/islamic countries have cultures that are barbaric by civilized peoples standards. Come on, you have Saddam (insert religous leader/dictator here) over there cutting off limbs, exterminating large parts of their population, opressing/raping women, throwing people into shredders, etc. By any standard that counts, he's evil. The Iraqi people have had decades to get rid of him, but have either been unable or unmotivated to do so.

As these countries/groups are elevated to the top of the list either through strategic importance to the 1st world nations, or by provoking us one time too many, the same thing will happen.

What the citizenry has to do is to get with the program - you're either with us or against us. Either way, change is coming to a backwater desert near you.

Gotta admit... Germany, Japan, Italy, etc are all better off since they were nudged in the 'right' direction.

Hmm, I wonder who you were talking about when you said "anti-semite"?
Protestants???

:confused:

You then go on to justify suicide bombings by comparing a single act of stupidty and evil to that of a crime that is celebrated, encouraged and tolerated that involves the death of innocent women, children and civilians.

Muslims are not hated by everyone, in fact I do not know one person that has ever said anything bad about Muslim people as a whole. In fact, in my personal experiences, Muslims are much like every other culture. Strong family values, respect and a hard work ethic. The extremist nature of some of them does deserve extreme scrutiny and disguest. The way women are treated in Iran and under the Taliban should not be ignored. The fact that 19 extremist worked for 2 years on killing thousands of civilians deserves a second look. Muslim gangs that roam through France insulting, beating up and harrassing Jews needs to be looked at. The world can not ignore these problems, because if left unchecked, Sept 11th can be drawfed in comparison to the next attack. It doesn't make us racist towards Muslim people as whole. Because the people that behead civilians and chant death to America have no regard to human life, much less than we have. If they had a nuclear bomb in their possession they would not hesitate to detonate themselves and a million other people.

A punishment is not a murder. Since my values of fidelity are obviously different than yours, neither do you practice the same religion or are bound by the same laws, your opinion just goes on to show the American mindset of trying to expound values, however decrepit they may be on others. Hey, Im not asking you to kill your son/daughter, so you dont tell me what to do should they commit a crime.

Your second argument is foolish without any evidence whatsoever.

So, in my opinion, based on plain logic, you're a stupid person.

This is the biggest crap of age old rhetoric that some Americans keep expounding. The USA can stand for what it wants, why do we have to think that the American system is the only acceptable system and therefore "invade" other countries to set up the same values there? And even then, you blame Muslims for hating America? Then why are there 7 million plus Muslims here in the US? Over a thousand mosques all across America?

Easy on the personal front you two.

It may not be Terrorism to kill a daughter for infidelity but it is certainly Barbaric.

That is an opionion by this side of the planet and that will stay that way.

Not holding life to the highest regard certainly does border on on being Terrorism however you folks certainly have the right to do what you like in your Country.

That is what makes the two Cultures and Countries different.

I can see Muslim Countries that have this kind of "punishment" fearing having the U.S. come in and take over their Country because that would be the end of their way of snuffing out life for such things as infidelity.
