Blacks, Jews... they were discriminated against, treated poorly, then they got politically organized. Now for the most part, almost no one would accept that anyone say anything negative or make negative generalizations about them -- there is a general acceptance that it is wrong. However, if one looks at this board, it seems totally acceptable to demonize Muslims or Arabs. You make negative statements about Jews every day, are you kidding us? I think it is generally understood by anyone with a brain that not all Muslims or Arabs are Killers or Terrorists. Some Muslims and some Arabs are. I can remember when Terrorists hi-jacked Israeli Airplanes, the israelis put men with guns on the Airplanes, and the Hijacking of Israeli Airplanes stopped. Had the US followed the Israeli example the second attack on the World Trade Center would have been stopped as the Hi-Jackers would have been shot. You seem totally oblivious to the value of propaganda. Children throwing rocks at police, the police fire rubber bullets at the little brats and one of them dies, and the Israelis murder children. Gather a bunch of your children and throw rocks at the Toronto Police and see just how far you get. This is a tactic, it worked well for the IRA and it works for Terrorists. Ever play Baseball, it is a little known American sport. Got any idea how hard a 14 year old can hurl a baseball. Same thing for a rock. So some brat gets killed, he is in heaven with 99 virgins wondering what to do with all these stupid girls..... What fabulous publicity, and the Socialists eat it up. That is why Hamas and Hezbollah have no problem sacrificing other peoples kids. Same thing with the personal bombs. It isn't old guys with bombs, old guys are way to smart to strap on a Semtex vest and die for allah. It isn't the Imans getting killed or someone who has huge beliefs, it is kids who know that their families will be richer than they have ever been, if they are dead. And it is fabulous publicity, screaming mothers, sons enshrined with honor and glory, and the family is richer for the death. The child, well there are shreds to bury, but he died a martyr. Dumb fool. But no one ever says what a dumbass thing to do. It is time we started to treat these murderers as what they are little teen killers, Dumb kids with no brains. But all over the world the words of the Liberal press doesn't call the little idiot a stupid kid who just murdered a whole bunch of strangers, he is a suicide bomber, rather than a suicide killer. we try to clean things up so they are not so offensive to the Muslims or the tender feelings of the viewers. That is why our news never shows you the Muslim Killers cutting the heads off the people they have kidnapped. Too bad, it might cure a few of the bleeding hearts to look into the victims eyes as he is murdered by a terrorist. One of the great fears of Canadian Muslims is that all Muslims will get lumped together rather than having good Muslims and Killer Muslims. But there is a problem, only Muslims know which is which, and they are not telling. Until Lebanon gets tired of this crap, and finds the guts, or the means, or gets the help it needs to stop Hezbollah, it is going to be periodically trashed. In Haifa today the sirens have been going off and then the missiles land, that is why the missiles don't kill many people, the Israelis go to bomb shelters before the missiles land. The streets are deserted, and so the death toll is limited. Imagine a culture where everyone has a bomb shelter, every business, every apartment building, all over the place bomb shelters. maybe Lebanon will have to build bomb shelters in every single building as they rebuild.
