Hi Haim; Well I saw the TV shots before I looked it up
on the internet, what really got to me was just how
effective the propaganda was. ( propaganda seems to me a
soft word for such an outrages lie ) We tend to think
no one with any sence could belive such a rumor
and taht it couldn't run deep but taht's a mistake.
The muslems I saw repeating ( & not just Arabs ) were really conviced that it was true.
I could see there wasn't any doubt in their mind, and
that really floored me.
--------------------------

For me to try and keep things simple I have to lump
the radical Islam sects like Hamas; Hezbollah;
Baath Party; Wahhabi; Taliban; PLO; Al Quida and such
as ONE big Islamic KKK,,not every sect is alike
but they are all to Islam what the KKK was
to Chistianity.
I think we have to guard aginst limiting their HATE
to Jews or even saying it's the Jews they Hate most
of all, they just feed on hate and if there were no
Jews they would have no problem finding others.
-----------------
While they only make up a minority of muslems the
fact is they shape and hold most stratigic positions
of power and I think it's because even the majority
of Muslems fear them.
-----------------
When it comes to Islam Arabs only make up 20%
The problem with the KKK aspect is very complex
and I'm not talented enough to write it down.
But I do have some first hand experance and understand
it a lot more than I know how to explain.
It's not some simple problem to solve, nor will
it go away easy and to make it sound simple can give
birth even more complex problems.
I was kidnaped in a hostage attempt while in
Nigeria in 1983 and taken to the Embassy of
Lebonon
so when I say I have first hand
experance I mean just taht.
------------------
I tend to resent people like Jeff Jacoby
who has no real idea of what is going on
and is trying to agitate things in a way
that he thinks will help. I was up front
and on the front line in this war before
he even started writing about it.
Belive me it goes way beyond what he is
writing about in both scope and
geographicly.
The worst thing he can do is mouth off in
such a way RE >> Incredibly, the United States seems to be going out of its way to give the back of its hand to the only nation in the Middle East and South
Asia that shares its democratic values, while extending an olive branch to nations that harbor, foment or celebrate terrorism. On September 27, the State Department spokesman actually announced that terrorism against Americans and terrorism against Israelis are "essentially ... two different things." In one case, he said, "there are
violent people trying to destroy societies," while in the other, "there are ... political issues that need to be resolved in the Middle East."
So terrorists who butcher innocents in the World Trade Center are evil, but terrorists who butcher innocents in a Jerusalem pizzeria or Tel Aviv discotheque must be indulged because they have "issues." Is
that really what Washington believes?

--------------
If that AH really belives that than he is just adding
to the problem, why in the hell would I do one damm
thing to help some who accused me of the above.
His whole attitude undermines getting support..
But some how I don't think he can see taht.
-------------
On the topic more specific to the hijacking
of September 11th..evidence gathered by the FBI
now indicates that 11 of the 19 Hijackers were kept
in the dark about the suiside nature of the
Hijacking only 2 on each plane ( the pilots)
knew the real mission, the other 11 seem to have
been led to belive it was a more normal type
of hijacking and were just the dumb mussel and
never told they were about to die.
