Wait a minute now ... There are over a billion muslims but their collective economies are smaller then that of Spain, according to you, and yet according to this guy you're cross-posting fringe youth within the Islamic world wake up "with a Proctor & Gamble mouthwash, a breakfast of Kellogg’s frosted wheats, wears Gap jeans, works on a Cisco-Intel-Microsoft based technology to connect to the internet whilst sipping Starbucks coffee" ROTFL! I'm sure Spain will be glad to hear they can increase their population to a billion and still have their 'fringe' youth going to the Gap and Starbucks. There's some problems with logic here ... <ng> btw, I seriously doubt that 1 billion/economy the size of Spain figure, given the Arabian oil revenues, but if it were true, it would account for a large part of the problem we have here.

no muslim country wants Israel ,they have all vowed to push the Jews into the sea.. this started in 1948 Sorry to bore a hole through your paranoid schizophrenia, but let me kindly introduce you to the Republic of Turkey, a country with 99% Muslim population, who recognized Israel just after it was founded, in 1949. The two countries collaborate on subjects that range from tourism to intelligence, to military exercises and technological upgrades. ... all of which, of course, has NOTHING to do with agreeing with Bush's supporting of Israel's brutal expansionist policies, that not only boost animosity for the US, but lead to increasingly more blown up cafes and busses for Israel. there are over a billion muslims but their collective economies are smaller then that of Spain,WHY? After your paranoid schizophrenia, we could also deal with your ignorance if only time would permit. But it doesn't. Take a look at CIA - The World Factbook for GDP adj. Purchasing Power Parity and World Bank for unadjusted USD GDP figures. You will see that this little statement of yours, while it might win you a few belly laughs in some of the more weirder threads in SI, is incorrect. Even if so, would that mean that it is OK for Israel to oppress Palestinians and keep building settlements into the occupied territories, pushing them further into a corner? Why, it must be OK, since all Muslim countries' economies on earth are smaller than that of Spain (Not).
