Why should anyone give respect to a group of people who respond to bad cartoons with violence?\n\nI have absolutely no respect for anyone who uses violence without first trying peaceful solutions. Yes, that includes President Bush.

Happy,\n\nThe Muslims that I met in the Middle East were just people. Some are nice and some are not. Religion is not practiced strictly by most people, but is more like a club that helps them socially and in business. There are repressive governments, and it is difficult for an American to tolerate the abuses of freedom in those countries.\n\nThere is a Muslim “problem” that is obvious to anyone. In Sudan, the Arab Muslims tried for 20 years to wipe out all Christians and killed many and destroyed lives, churches, homes, etc. Today they are engaged in trying to kill the black Muslims in the Darfur region of the country. Hundreds of thousands are being killed and the increasing violence has left hundreds of thousands of civilians in Darfur without food, and facing the prospect of widespread disease and death within weeks.\n\nThe conflict between Arab Muslims and black Muslims has already killed an estimated 300,000 in the past two years and has left nearly two million people homeless. Most of the refugees have fled for their lives into neighboring Chad. Raids by rebel groups along the border have raised the threat level and the possibility of all out war between Sudan and Chad.\n\nCaught in the middle are the black Muslim men, women, and children in refugee camps spread out along the border. The Sudanese government has used militia known as the Janjaweed to unleash a campaign of murder, rape, arson, and looting against these black Muslims just like they did against the Christians.\n\nThe recent raids by the Janjaweed have caused some in the refugee camps to flee back into Darfur, a region with active genocide. It is the first genocide of the 21st century as the Sudanese government is directly pursuing the murder of millions of their countrymen.\n\nI don’t understand the murder of 3,000 innocent Americans in 2001, but at least one might argue that we have differing cultures and religions. In Sudan, the Arab Muslims are trying to destroy the black Muslims who share the same religion. It is a very troubling religion that espouses that kind of violence.\n\nAs I said, I met some very nice Muslims in the Middle East, and so I admit that I’m confused about the violence against innocent people in the name of Islam. The really bad places in the Middle East are the countries where the religion is in charge of the government.\n\nIn the dark ages, the Catholic Church was as bad or worse when they were in charge of governments. That’s why our founding fathers were so determined to preclude the church from any controlling interest in our government.\n\nFreedom is great, and most Americans are naïve concerning the way the rest of the world lives. Everyone should take a trip to the Middle East or South America or Asia at least once in their lifetime to appreciate how good it really is here.\n\nGod bless.

I (american) completely agree with you that our country has been completley out of line in trying to be the worlds "big brother". You should know that your mirror will only show what is shown to it.  My mirror would show acceptance and love for all people. I was deeply disturbed by one of your previous posts. Please dont think that americans actually have a voice in whether or not we go to war! How would you feel if I was one of the closeminded americans that thinks that just because you are middle eastern, you know the terrorists and can make them stop if you want. I can't even begin to understand what it feels like to live in a warring country, my condolensces to you and yours. But remember that not seeing all sides of the story is one of the problems that led us to where we are today.  You are obviously very upset, and for good reason. So I would like to personally appologize to you for the occupation, although I have absolutely no control over it. By opening our eyes and truly thinking about things before we believe them, we might eventually be able to achieve peace. I wish you, and your family, and Iraqi and American troops peace. Please rethink your hatred for all americans and know that there are many of us here that agree with YOU rather than our own government. By finding a way to see that no culture as a whole is inherantly evil and that every individual is different and needs to be respected, you too will be a part of the path to peace.  Peace to you my brother. Tasharrafna. Shukran.

Because ignorancy is the reason, they don't realize that pointing the finger to the west is not any way solving the problem that they have with us if anything it only antagonizes us to a point where we want to beat the heck out of them. But you have to understand if there clerics aren't trying to teach them anything different how would you expect the people to be any different. So they feel by burning the American flag is a good thing. Something else I should mention, There society is all messed up simply because they have religious fundamentalist that are to me nothing but radicals that are teaching the word of the Quran wrong and twisting it to there own personal gain. Anytime they do that you have radical exstremist that follow along with the belief that it is right. They choose to blame the Americans because out of ignorance they are not willing to put the blame where it really belongs and it is with them. But as you see none of them are willing to do that but they are quick to blame the West for any and everything that goes on with there society. What I want to know is when do they really wake up and see what they are doing to there people because all they are doing is confusing them where they don't know what is right from what is wrong. And when is the Islamic clerics and leaders are going to start teaching good instead of hate to the extremist? I guess when God comes and wipe the real infedels from the face of the earth.

I am a Muslim and I agree that it was carried out by Muslims, I just do not like the fact that people are stereotyping ALL MUSLIMS as evil terrorists. I see that every answer or question you have is about Islam? You are showing hate for ALL of us and it is not fair

Id say people in the Middle East have an extremely biased view (if any) on the Holocaust. Im Lebanese, living in Lebanon, and i can say that the Holocaust is praised (unfortunately) in most Arab countries since Israel is viewed as the main enemy (along with the US). It's sad to see educated people praising Hitler and the horrible genocide he commited against Jews. Being an Arab Christian, my backgroud education gave me the right idea about the genocide. However, most Muslims have this haine for Jews (mostly because the Sheikhs and Arab leaders examplify Israelis and Jews as the force of evil and war in the world). I dont want to sound too pessimistic but a better education will not be the solution because Imams (or Sheikhs, as in muslim religious leaders) will still endoctrinate their followers... The only solution in my opinion is the creation of two states (Israel and Palestine) after both forces recognize one another according to international law. It's a shame extremism (whether ultra-orthodox jews or fanatic muslims) is the obstacle of bringing people together..

Yes, my friend, i totally agree with you.  How come we have to respect the asylum seekers culture when they wont respect ours ! I'm not a racist, but, Enoch was right !

You're preaching to the chorus my man.  If you want the west to accept Islam then you have to convince the dangerous radicals that Islam is a religion of peace.  Don't tell us, tell them.  The only thing we care about is not being blown up.

so its ok that they are blowing your "people" \n(i dont believe you are a "jewish") up right and that there are videos of them yelling "kill the jews"\nor how about when isreal was trying to become a nation \nand all of the muslim countries swore that they would ntallow it to happen by blowing it up\nyep \nthe muslims love jews alright

I am not anti-semetic, however Isreal is using the same genocidal tactics against the indigenious people of the area they have conquested, that were employed upon them by the Nazi's in WWII. The Jewish state had not been in existance for 2,000 years, then one day they arrive in force and begin seizing land and killing off the people of the land. They should be included in the axis of terror, however becasue of the Judeao-Christian influence in America they are considered to be full filling the biblical phrophecy. I reject the Bible as does monst of the world as a work of historical fiction with over tomes of a superior race. What they are doing is racism,, it can not be excused.

In my opinion it is a false religion , and it is being pushed around the world by a few Muslim clerics that have sold the idea that Mohamed ascended into heaven met with God and was told how Muslims should pray, and what was to be put in the Koran, from there he returned to earth and presented this to the people, is this starting to sound familiar, It dose not take a brain surgeon to see how this story came about.  In my opinion they have simply taken from the holy bibles contents, and have rewritten it and call it the Koran, and it has become a very powerful religion through threats, murder, rape, and many other atrocities.   The Jews know it, and the Christians know it, and yet people are still caught up under it's spell, and continue to convert.  Tolerance is being pushed into a corner, and we all know what happens in that situation.

As a Saudi I must say, that you are being rude and disrespectuful, as you SHOW GREAT IGNORANCE..\n\nAnd about the "Saudi text" which you were refferring to.. well\nWe believe Judaism and Christianity are deviant religions, since Jews REJECTED AND HATED AND STILL ACTUALLY hate Jesus Christ.. as we also believe Christianity is also deviant because Jesus never TAUGHT ANY TRINITY, and for more insight, please check my answer to a questioner asking "Can anyone give me PROOF against Christianity?" go to my personal page and u'll find it there, JACKa$$\n\nand about the apes, are jews.. etc..\n\nWELL, AS A MATTER OF FACT THIS IS TAKEN FROM A STORY MENTIONED IN THE QURAN TALKING ABOUT SOME JEWS WHO USED TO BREAK THE SHABBAT, WE BELIEVE GOD TURNED THEM INTO APES AS A PUNISHMENT FOR THEM AND A LESSON TO BE LEARNT FOR THOSE WHO DIDN'T BREAK IT, SO THEY KEEP BEING PIOUS AND SIN NOT.. SO.... THAT SENTANCE DID NOT MEAN THAT JEWS ARE ALL APES.. RATHER, THOSE WHO BROKE THE SHABBAT WERE THE ONES TURNED TO APES..\n\nRead: \n\nQuran 2:63. And (O Children of Israel, remember) when We took your covenant and We raised above you the Mount (saying): "Hold fast to that which We have given you, and remember that which is therein so that you may become Al-Muttaqûn (the pious - See V.2:2).\n\n2:64. Then after that you turned away. Had it not been for the Grace and Mercy of Allâh upon you, indeed you would have been among the losers.\n\n2:65. And indeed you knew those amongst you who transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath (i.e. Saturday). We said to them: "Be you monkeys, despised and rejected."\n\n2:66. So We made this punishment an example to their own and to succeeding generations and a lesson to those who are Al-Muttaqûn (the pious).\n\nand FINALLY, BRING YOUR EVIDENCES THAT SUPPORT THE CLAIM WHICH YOU MADE.. WHEN YOU SAID: "while the swine are the Christians, the infidels of the communion of Jesus.”\n\nWHERE DOES IT SAY THAT IN THE QURAN?!\n\n\nI'm done you f****t

Americans don't question their right to live on stolen land.  Hmmm...do you think that's why we support Israel?  And we also conveniently forget that their ancestors had to struggle with language differences when they came over. And that many cities still have ethnic neighborhoods with signs/newspapers/etc in Polish or some other language besides English.  But we consider that a quaint reminder of our past, while we scorn people who have come over more recently, especially if they have darker skin.  Guess we should modify the Statue of Liberty, since we only accept the tired, poor, and hungry on a conditional basis, and we don't want too many of them!  Geez, you'd think we weren't one of the richest countries in the world!

I'm a Muslim and we are thought to treat the other religions and their followers with respect. I would suggest you to try to do the same thing.
59736
i think you're ignorant, rely only on the media and posted a stupied question. How could normal muslim people come even remotely similar to the actions of the KKK, i strongly suggest that you think about your question before putting it up

Exactly my point, my friend. The thing is, and I'll try to avoid sterotyping Americans as they so carelessly do with Arabs. It is un-"American" to strip so many of their liberty in the name of "freedom". It is un"Christian" to disrespect a fellow human the way that has been done. It is extremely naive to think that the Bush administration is trying to help, knowing that Bush's family has gathered so much wealth through the exploitation of petroleum. I don't see how people don't spend more time on questions like these. Questions that matter. Thank you very much, my friend. (BTW, I'm an American Citizen of a Christian Church)
