I can quote you crap from the OT that will curl your hair. >> Crap from the Koran is what is breeding the next generation of terrorists. If you want to discount the effect of the Koran on billions of Muslims, that is your choice, but it is a head in sand approach. If you haven't noticed, the OT is not taught in American public schools. << Who's "we", white man? Jews are a small percentage of the US population. Their interests don't get to determine US foreign policy all by themselves. >> Excuse me for not wanting a US policy that guarantees the destruction of Israel. I don't think that it would be in America's interest, in the war against terrorism, to ignore the other terrorist states in the Middle East. << Not "Christians". The US, which is largely Christian. And the reason the US is having problems is because of its tilt towards Israel. >> Not Christians? This is what being taught to Arab children in their government schools. I've already posted this to you, but here it comes again: ===> "Christians and Jews are denounced as infidels. Moreover, Christians and Jews are presented as enemies of Islam and of Muslims. Therefore, Muslims may not befriend them, nor emulate them in any way, lest that lead to love and friendship, which is forbidden. Peace between Muslims and non-Muslims is not advocated. Instead, the Saudi Arabian textbooks, even grammar books, are full of phrases exalting war, Jihad, and martyrdom. " <=== unitedjerusalem.org << And the reason the US is having problems is because of its tilt towards Israel. >> There are many reasons "why they hate us". Our culture, our freedoms, our success. American foreign policy should not be determined by brutal Arab dictatorships. America policy does "tilt" towards Israel, but Arab nations policy tilt totally away from Israel. Most Arab nations do not even recognize Israel's right to exist. Their policy towards peace between Israel and the Palestinians is a lot more one sided than ours. << I'd suggest you change your tone. You are making Evil Vermin's arguments for him. >> Put me on ignore. If anything, I tend to get worse. <g>
