its not if but when we send our troops in to save Israel from being wiped out. Israel's military force is great but small and there is no way they can defend themselves against iraq,syria,iran,joran ect..in my opinion arafat will be dead soon either by his own people or by Israel so we have no choice to send in the troops and this is going to be one bloody war....

oh and its nice to see the brits turn yellow on us....

I contend that islam is murderous cult whose members are no better than street thugs.

Joey... you're out of line with that...

Islam, properly practiced according to the Koran, is a peaceful religion that forbids aggression against others. But it has been highjacked by extremists who have manipulated the religion for their own extremist purposes.

Lest you forget, horrendous crimes have been committed in the name of Christianity. The crusaders wound up slaughtering large quantities of Jews during their rule in the holy land. In fact, they killed far more Jews than did Muslims of the period, effectively depopulating the region of those they called "killers of christ"..

Somehow I have to believe that Jesus frowned heavily upon having his name used for such an evil cause.

And I suspect that most muslims reject extremist beliefs. Unfortunately, 40% of the Musliim world is below the age of 18, and young people are particularly known for their moderation, or their wisdom.

That's the real fear.. That the young people will drag the older, wiser muslims along a path of self-destruction (taking a lot of Jewish and Western lives with them).
