lmrn re: a prophet of Islam and Judaism here we go, it is a holly place for at least 3 religions that is christianity, judaism and islam - that was my point exactly then how come it is for muslims only? Jews do not ask for temple mount to be destroyed while arafat plans to destroy the crying wall and yet muslims around the world scream persecution of islam and muslims in Israel. If a country or group of people attack Israel for the purpose of destruction of Israel and all it's citizens (as was written in plo constitution and supported by egypt, cyria, jordan, lebanon, etc) and Israel happened to win the war then it is the right of the victor (Israel) to decide how much land it would want. If Israel would want to control egypt, ciria, lebanon, iraq, jordan in addition to 100% of palestine it still would be very fair. AS you very well know it is arabs who are playing agressors in the middle east so why many muslim communities around the world support arabs on religious basis. You can not blame people who are becoming anti-muslim in general if many call terrorism as jihad - the holly war. You can not blame americans for becoming anti-muslims if 9-11 caused celebrations in many muslim countries. If islam wants a recognition as a religion of peace then muslim countries should punish without any mercy those who try to dance on american graves ....... Americans are very forgiving people yet muslim countries do not take the necessary steps to punish the guilty. All that reminds me the time when egypt attacked Israel with a purpose of destroying Israel and Israeli citizens. But when Israel repelled the agression and Israeli tanks were approaching Cairo Egypt appealed to international community to stop Israel. And egypt was calling Israel an agressor. now, iraq, afganistan and probably few other countries were envolved in 9-11 and now sadam is appealing to international community to stop US from..... Dancing on american graves is not a lesser crime than stealing so if all those who celebrated 9-11 would get their right hands cut off we will have peace and harmony. -Albert

Five Killed in Religious Riot in Western India. October 11, 2002 03:52 PM ET BOMBAY (Reuters) - Five people were killed in a western Indian city Friday in clashes between Hindus and Muslims sparked off by protests against remarks by U.S. pastor Jerry Falwell criticizing the Prophet Mohammad, police said. A senior police official told Reuters police opened fire on the clashing mobs after protesters set fire to shops and vehicles in the textile town of Solapur, 280 miles from the financial capital Bombay. "Of the five who were killed, three died in police firing and we are investigating the cause of death of the other two," said police sub-inspector D.B. Raut from Solapur. Police said 67 were injured. Muslim groups had called for a strike Friday in protest against Falwell's remarks, which were made during an interview with CBS's "60 Minutes" Sunday and reported by a local Urdu language newspaper. Raut said trouble broke out when a group of Muslims asked Hindu shopkeepers to down shutters in the city's main market. He said trouble soon spread across the town with mobs from both communities pelting each other with stones. Monday, shops, schools and businesses shut down in Srinagar, the main city of the Himalayan state of Kashmir, after local traders and social and religious activists called for a general strike to condemn Falwell's comments. The CBS news Web site quoted Falwell, a prominent member of the American Christian Right, as saying: "I think Mohammad was a terrorist." "I read enough...by both Muslims and non-Muslims (to decide) that he was a violent man, a man of war," he was quoted as saying. Police said a curfew had been imposed in Solapur till daybreak and added the situation was tense but under control. reuters.com
