Thank You for your response. America the great, America the beautiful is built thru ethnic and religious diversity, tolerance and respect. Freedom and prosperity has been earned and heroically fought for and no doubt, will be fought for again. It just seems apparent to me that this attack is equally an attack against Islam and that muslims around the world should feel spiritually violated that these evil deeds were done in the Holy name of Islam. That the government of Pakistan has been quick to give virtual total support is indeed re-assuring. I hope the religious leadership in Pakistan (and elsewhere) show equally unambiguous signals. Thank you again for sharing your perspective. God be with us all. HH (on a side note, my family has received several phone calls from friends and family in France. It seems France Telecom has offered 15 minutes free call to the US today. Quite a nice gesture)

the American people will not let your country down ever again...we won't allow it.... if we stand side by side thru this morass...we'll be a stronger world... the lines are being drawn worldwide as we speak... America is at WAR, those that become allies will survive those that don't will not... this "clean sweep" of all terrorist around the world, will immensely help all of Islam...ALL!!! Moderate Muslims must understand that THIS IS OUR TIME...a call to arms has gone around this earth.... a call to all peoples that love life, love this planet, and only seek to live and prosper...at some point in this "Space Time Continuim"...everyone will have to make a choice for the rest of their life... THAT CHOICE IS RIGHT HERE AND RIGHT NOW!

Iqbal, your comment: " Islam and Muslims world today is 'material and mental' hostage of .1% fringe men like Osama they sit atop terror empires. , I even doubt if that percentage is that high, out of the what, a billion Muslims, I doubt a million fanatics with Osama views are out there. Oops, now that I look at that number, maybe your percentage is a little low. In any event, it surely is a small minority, which brings me back to the story of Sodom and Gomora and Abraham's pleading with the All Mighty and bargaining with him to save Sodom for the "just men" that might be in the city, the bargaining starts at 50 "just men", and the All Mighty goes all the way down (45, 40, 30, 20) to agreeing to spare the city if only 10 just men could be found. I think we should be just as magnanimous and, to the extent possible, not punish the just men with the evil ones. Salam Zeev
