<This is an incredibly simplistic view of Muslims.......do you really believe it, or is it an arguing technique? Because its no more real then saying all Christians are saints.> My response was to your statement that <As they fight the terrorists, they create new ones to the detriment of all of us. > I was not referring to the entire Muslim population. <Every group, including the Zionist Jews, have resorted to violence when they have no other way to get what they want. Its human nature........ Is it human nature to teach women and children to strap C4 to themselves and kill the evil Jews ? <So please don't try to sell the argument that Muslims are some human mutation off the norm; that violence is inbred into them.> Nice twist to the discussion, however I never stated that it was the norm for the entire Muslim population. Wouldnt you agree that it is the norm for the fanatic minority ? And if so where are the protests from leaders of the peaceful majority ? <Why you can't see that this military flexing encourages the people of the ME to hate Israel and the US is beyond me.> The hate has been there long before any military flexing. You point out the death and destruction to Lebanon with much disdain and yet Iran/Syria/Pal's point to it and cry victory and preach more violence. <I have never met a group of people so out of touch with how the human mind thinks.> I agree with you. Why do you think they continue the violence instead of sitting down and making peace with the world ? Imagine the benfit of directing their energies to creating life and peace instead of using infants and their baby bottles to blow planes out of the sky. Why hasnt the Lebanese goverment disarmed Hezbollah ? Why not take advantage of the cease fire and create peace instead of prolonging the inevitable conflict ? When the people that hate you will not stop until you are dead what is the proper response ? You want to negotiate ?
