I C -- I am serious also,,, I see no use for the PALs. They no longer deserve to be any consideration in the scheme of the world-- only how they are polluting the gene pool. Granted, not all Arabs or muslims are radical murderers but there are more than enough to cause world problems.
"There are groups on both sides of the conflict that have a vested interest, either for money or political power, that don’t want peace. This is the true enemy IMO." OK--- but that has nothing to do with the mind set of the PALs or those that supported the perps of 9-11.
"Islam teaches that the killing of the unjust can be good." This is a religion or people that you would ask the US to defend? Any one that believes "killing the unjust" is condoned is not thinking. "Unjust" is a perception.. who has the right to determine who is unjust? What unjust acts did the civilians killed by homocide bombers or Atta and friends commit? Had Hitler said the 3rd R was a religion the murder of millions of jews should be condoned according to that rubbish.
"I think Al-Jazeera and the western media is one of the conduits to peace, although I think some in the media on both sides need to tone down their rhetoric. Maybe an exchange of some of the major players would be conducive to the journalist’s quest for truth." We certainly agree on that!
Where we disagree--- I believe in peace. I saw enough war and participated in more than enough killing. However, I believe if you or the US is under any threat the threat has to be eliminated. Not buying off or pacifying those that are at the root of the problem as that only strengthens the enemy and delays the final result. The dead are never a threat to the living or to the US.

Captain Jack is right IC. Muslims are NBK (natural born killers):

" The Quran teaches that Muslims are superior to others: "Ye (Muslims) are the best of peoples evolved for mankind . . ." Surah 3:110.
"Fight and slay the pagans wherever ye find them and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait (ambush) for them in every strategem (of war) . . ." Surah 9:5 (also 2:193).
" For those who resist Islam – execution or mutilation is decreed: "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His apostle, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution or crucifixion, or the cutting off of the hands and feet from opposite sides or exile from the land . . ." Surah 5:36.
Message 16998462
The Hadith, which is a record of the words and deeds of Muhammad, is also viewed by Muslims as inspired. Next to the Quran, it is the most important source of Islamic Law. It's teachings are regarded as binding on all Muslims.
" The Hadith teaches that apostasy is punishable by death: "Whoever changes his Islamic religion, kill him." Vol. 9:57.
" A Muslim may not be punished for killing a non-Muslim: "No Muslim should be killed for killing a kafir (infidel)." Vol 9:50
It may be hard for Christians to understand the concept of such a militant religion, but the primary aim of Islam is not spiritual but political. The ultimate purpose of Islam is the establishment by force of a worldwide Islamic state where Sharia law is enforced on all.
About Jihad....
JIHAD – ISLAMIC HOLY WAR
The relentless and often vicious persecution by Muslims against Christians is seldom recognised or understood. Many assume that the concept of Jihad, or holy war, espoused by Muslim leaders like the Aytollah Khomeini and demonstrated in terror bombings are aberrations not truly representative of Islam:

IC,

Your statement is an indicator to me of the lack of leadership among the vast majority of moderate Muslims. They should be expressing outrage at those that attempt to usurp the true meaning of Islam. Islam preaches peace and justice.

One of the basic teaching of Islam is a man should take more than one wife. As long as that is a teaching Islam will always be at war. Either enternal or external. As the birth rate of male and female is roughly 50-50 this requires and causes constant war. If the excess number of men are not killed off in war, soon their will be many men that would never have a wife. These men will not be happy and go out and start a war. <G>

Muslims can’t understand why an America that claims to be fair and to protect the weak, is not defending Palestine from an Israeli invasion generations ago. In their eyes this is hypocritical and unjust, and consequently against their religion.

First of all there never has been any country "Palestine" ever. This is a recent Arab myth. The west bank of so called "Palestine" was territory taken from Jordan when the Arabs attacked Israel in 1967. The Gaza strip of so called "Palestine" was territory taken Egypt in the same war.

What Arabs really can`t understand is. Why if God is on there side can`t 100m Arabs defeat 6m jews in a war? 3 times they have tried and 3 times they were routed. So they can not believe that God is not on their side. Even as the evidence clearly shows that God is not on their side. They must manufacture a great satin to explain this away. And that is the U.S.

Americans can’t understand why Muslims that claim to be tolerant and just, have tried to destroy the Jewish people. The same Jewish people that the world has persecuted for thousands of years and tried to exterminate in the Holocaust.

Americans understand that Muslims are only tolerant and just if they are not in power. Or looking down the barrel of a gun.

I C. You said ....." Western leaders should let the entire Muslim know that we respect Islam, and would if necessary, fight to protect Islam and the Islamic holy places against crusaders, just as we fight for the safety of Jews. America was founded on freedom of religion, and even our currency says “In God we trust”......

Ya. Right. You have heard of Khomenei? well here are some of his teachings and remember little kids grow up and believe what they have been taught they have NO choice.

Granted khomenei does not represent all of islam but he controlled a fair bunch of them.

See if you can get through this without throwing up if so look around the site and learn more
homa.org

And by the way the USA did fight to defend muslims in the Serbia thing...Correct? Did it make the muslims like us more??
