I hope we always have a strong discourse in this country. Think about the lack of civil liberties in the ME. There is no freedom of speech. Women that participate in protest reforms in Egypt are literally raped. You would think the liberals would have to say something about ME repression. No, they just love to kick back and swear at the Bushies. I haven't heard one liberal condemn the terrorists for their ideology of hate. They are just beginning to rise about their Bush bashing to see the ugly truth behind Islamic culture. The enforcement of religion by political leaders is a convenient way to preach fundamentalism and intolerance. Muslim leaders call for action against Jews in Israel. What will everyone say when Gaza and West bank are turned over to the Palestinians? To this day, no one is really catching on the the Shiite balance of power that is spreading over the ME. Shiite fundamentalists control Hamas and Hezbolloh. They are on the verge of regaining occupied territory in Israel. The Shiites in Lebanon finally ended the occupation of Syrian Baathists. The coalition removed the Batthists from power in Iraq. Iran and Iraq are moving to build one of the largest Shiite power bases in the history of the ME. Elections in Iran have put fundamentalists into office. The momentum is definitely with the Shiite fundamentalists that have been oppressed by their Sunni brothers which treat them like second class citizens. Everyone gets treated like dirt since Muslims have no civil rights to protect them from the self righteous leaders. Hamas and Hezbolloh are different from Sunni terrorists that kill Shiite Muslims, Jews, Christians, and everyone that doesn not conform to Salafi protocols. What is going to be the next response from the Shiites in Palestine when they finally get the occuppied territories back from Israel? Will Al Qaradawi put an end to his labelling of all Israeli Jews as soldiers that can be killed? This last piece of the Shiite puzzle is going to be the most important. Unless the Israeli government can convert this opportunity to peace, then the Shiite Muslims will continue to justify jihad against the occupation. This gives the Sunni Muslims the right to jihad against the US because we support Israel's right to exist. Ironic that the Salafis use the Jewish occupation of Palestine as a reason to kill Westerners when they believe the Shiites are apostates.
