I thought you might find this, not useful.

This Not Shia/Persian guy doesn't like Israel but clearly states that attacks against an enemy must not target innocent children, women and men. He leaves out the term 'pizza parlor' so you probably can still make your case.

"The cleric — who heads Al-Azhar, considered one of the top centers of religious learning in the Sunni Muslim world — reiterated a fatwa, or religious edict, backing suicide attacks on "aggressors," like Israel, but condemned acts like the terrorist strikes against America.

A suicide bomber, who attacks an enemy who is occupying his land or acting aggressively against sacred places or his freedom, is a martyr, "but exploding oneself and killing children, women and men who have nothing to do with war ... is not accepted" by strict Islamic law, Tantawi said. "

<<I have been deliberately avoiding the whole question of the Shia/Persians in this discussion to avoid complicating matters.>>

Sure you would....when it shows up how bigoted your broad sweeping generalizations are.

<<Stop jumping on little words and going gotcha, it just looks stupid.>>

Your own statements make you look stupid.....

<<You're right up there with AQ for dogma.>>

Now I'm being compared to AQ!! You're a sad woman/man? Nadine.

<<This is all about a patch of scrub that is less than 1 percent of 1 percent (yes that's right) of the Arab Middle East?>>

Standard Zionist response when backed in to a corner. Whether its 1 percent or 1 acre guess what, its wrong. Is it ok for me to come up to Vermont and steal 1 percent of 1 percent of your land then, if that's what is deemed to be an acceptable amount by your measure?!?
