the u.s. doesn't hate the islamic world.  that generalization is like saying that all the islamic world hates the united states  we have idiots who hate on both sides and who make the rest of us look like we are all evil.  if you truly believe in god than you know that hate and killing in His name is wrong on both sides.  don't believe that we all agree w/ the bush propaganda of hate against islam.  if there is anything left of the world in 3 years you will see that we will vote in a prez who has compassion for all people and isn't against our islamic friends.

I think it is very foolish to blindly support Israel. The Arab/Muslim world's voice is ignored, and while this is being done, we will NEVER have world peace. (Here it comes: I am going to be branded a nazi anti-semite.... again, which I am NOT) I am saying: Let's LISTEN to what they have to say. I am not proposing the destruction of Israel, but sadly, Israel is regarded as a bastion of western democracy by some in the west, but as a cancer by most in the Arab/Muslim world, and the ONLY solution is to sit down and LISTEN to EVERYBODY'S view.\nI have had people writing to me pointing out that Egypt is a shining example of the acceptance of Israel in the Middle East;\nwhat a misconception, while they are receiving billions of dollars from the US, they are only paying lipservice to this socalled acceptance. The people in the Middle East allege that the state of Israel was IMPOSED on them, (which is partly true) and this will remain a festering sore in the search for peace in the region. Certain interest groups in the Western world have equated the call for a serious and analytical look a the situation as being 'anti-semitic' (the 'last taboo', as mentioned in the question.) While this 'equation' is heeded by western leaders, terrorism will flourish. Israel is acting like a little boy whose older brother is the strongest in the the school, and by extension, the little brat is going around doing whatever he likes, knowing that his BIG brother will protect him.\nWe should ask ourselves: For how long are we going to allow this situation to continue? Until we are FORCED to sit down and LISTEN, or until we have a war between religions? Is it too much to ask to LISTEN?

In my view,Iran is as entitled to develop a nuclear program just as much as anybody else,regardless of whether it's for energy or military use.Iran has a hostile neighbour that is bristling with nuclear weapons,so who can blame them if they're trying to develop an effective defence system.Israel is a country which is founded and run according to religious fundamentalism and in my view they are the most likely to be the protagonists for the next nuclear war but nobody is prepared to try to disarm them or halt any nuclear research and development.I am from the czech Republic by the way.

The Middle East is about Oil!  Our allies are Israel, Turkey, and Egypt, and Kuwait.  Neutral are Jordan, Lebanon,Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Qatar, the Arab Emirates.  Hostile are Iraq?, Iran, Syria, and probably Afghanistan, though we have installed a government there now friendly to us,but it probably will not last.  Most of those friendly to us are on our payroll like Israel and Egypt.  Because we are so dependent on the oil, and are afraid of losing control of it, we are acting out of fear.  We  are trying bully the region into being our friends.  That never works.  As of now, most all the people on the street hate us for what we are doing.  I think the biggest threat is our own policy of force.  No one likes to be forced, and these are an ancient and proud people.  Our present government says the threats are Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Afghanistan.    If you would like to know more, and I suggest you do as that part of the  world will continue to influence your daily life, I would read what you can, watch our news, and use the Internet.  One excellent source of the Arab view of the news is Al Jazeera - see  the link below.  I hope that helps

only 4 of the 57 muslim nations on this planet recognize the one jewish state of israel. It is simple intollerance and hatred. IN the case of iran, it is a theocratic dictatorship, that diverts its peoples attention from their dire prediciment and living conditions and makes an enemy of of a small nation over 1000 miles away

I am an American citizen that DID vote for Bush. As far as most Americans are concerned, Iranian citizens need to get THEIR leaders to calm down and TALK. We understand you are very devoted to your faith, but not EVERYONE wishes to live in that kind of society. This is a BIG world and we ALL need to live here. How about showing us why some call Islam the "Religion Of Peace". PLEASE?

Who cares what those people think.  I'm more interested in preventing iran from franchising out nuclear weapons to all the arab states and then blowing up the world as part of jihad.  Whatever it takes to prevent that is justified and if that includes turning Iraq, Iran, Syria and whomever else needs it into a sheet of glass because the liberals in this country won't allow the necessary oversite to prevent this in a humane way, then so be it.\n\nWhat matters is preventing world war 3, not satisfying idiot liberals.

Israel is our problem too, if your a Christian especially. Moses led them out of Egypt to the Holy Land. That is our home to live when Jesus comes back. Why would we allow some country to want them blown up? I wish Iran's good people could over throw the evil leadership, then we wouldn't mind if they had nukes. Just get the supporters of terrorism out!! Please

Haven't you heard the rhetoric? It is because Israel is the only democracy in the middle-east!!!And Britain cant say much either because the British government sold Israel all the necessary means to start their nuclear program. Double standards as always.

If you are frank in your question, here is a frank answer from a Muslim:\n\nYes, ‘violence’ seems to be the first option in Muslim populated countries. \n\n1. Most of the Muslim population in the world has lower living standards, more socio-economic problems in comparison with Western population. The extremists are usually belong to the lowest income level and uneducated. Religion is the only thing for them to hold on in life and only way to satisfy the ‘being a part of something bigger than them’. Therefore, their belief and devotion are easily misused by Muslim and Non-Muslim opportunists/leaders/ politicians who benefit from the sparks/rows/conflicts. \n\n2. For these groups, violence is the only way of ‘reaction’ and also comes to scene with the support of opportunists. On the other hand,  some of them, of course,  know the other ways of ‘reaction’ or ‘opposition’ but don’t believe that they are going to work anymore.\n\nI didn’t like the cartoons also. I am not planning to take gun and bust an embassy but I am not planning to protest it in any other proper way also. Frankly, I  do not think that it will make any difference or contribute to any debate. In this part of the world, lots of things go wrong, which western countries, especially U.S have a major role. For sure, being insulted by cartoons cannot be a justification of violence. Two wrong does not make one right. What about Palestine ? This should be applicable there also. What is the justification of the violence, especially to the women & children and by the hand of a government? Does two wrong make one right there? Recent election showed that today consderable number of people in Palestine support Hamas. Why? They has been suffering for years, waiting to be heard by the ones who has been lecturing them the human rights. Today not only a group of terrosits but the majority does not believe a solution/reaction any other than violence. What about Iran Nuclear Row ? I am not happy with the idea of Iran having Nuclear bombs. But also I don’t understand why U.S, Israil can develop it but Iran cannot. As for conclusion, from our standing point, it looks like there is a western hypocrisy in many cases. I believe that most of the Muslims lost the belief to western world, their system of values and understanding of democracy and most importantly they lost the belief to the other ways of ‘being heard’, ‘react’ and ‘make difference’     \n  \n3. I believe that the cartoons are not the reason of this violence but the excuse. \n\nPiled up anger found a crack to explode. This part of the world is bleeding. Palastine, Afganhistan, Iraq. Do you think that we are happy living in region of wars? \nI thought that Syria going to be next but it looks like it is going to be Iran. May be after Iran and Syria, it is going to be turn of my country. I personally show a serious effort not to provide any excuse to U.S. and Britain to sweep away my country and also try not to complain a lot about my country in order not to provide them any opportunity to come and rescue me and equip me with their understanding of democracy (!)\n\nI think  most of the Muslims living in this part of the world are angry in some extent to  U.S and Western countries because of their middle east ambition, because of interference which is obviously not contributing the peace in the region. Therefore, I believe that although the cartoons have serious role in reaction, it seems like they are mostly an excuse for violence. \n\nThe most interesting thing in this picture is that they discharged their anger to European countries although it is well known that there is certain anger even hatred against U.S in most of the Muslim countries.  In this case, the U.S., country of freedom, stepped back in a case of ‘freedom of expression’ , criticized the cartoons and didn’t want contribute a supporting debate that insulting Muslims, which is very touching by the way (!) \n\nThere can

There are some flaws in your argument.\n\nThe major one being that Russia is one of the largest oil producers in the world.\n\nIraq wasn't allowed to export oil, so France or anyone else supporting them wasn't exactly protecting supply.\n\nI don't hold that the war was about oil per se. It was more about being one enormous cock up with faulty intelligence being taken as fact, posturing from Saddam and al Qaeda camps sprouting up at the same time.\n\nIn the end everyone lost patience and their heads and forgot that violence and war simply doesn't solve problems only causes people to entrench their views.\n\nI agree the Iran crisis has to be solved, but I do not think that America will solve it with an attack. Besides, if I think that other nations would be a little worried about Iran getting nuclear weapons - Isreal for one and I don't think Russia would like the idea of their domestic Islamic terrorists groups getting access to nuclear material.

Sorry to say it won't happen.Unless the US stops supporting Israel. Maybe Palestine should get another country to sponsor its terrorism like we do with Israel. \n First off they need better weapons, rocks against tanks just doesnt cut it. Maybe Iran or Syria, who knows maybe the US will see Israel as a liability one day and decide to fund Palestine in the hopes they will destroy Israel.\nEDIT: I didnt mean to be rude Im sorry. Are you from Palestine?\n Destroy Israel and you will have peace. The Arab countries dont trust Israel, work together to destroy them and you can end the occupation.

Why is part of Western world worried bout Iran developing it?\nTake a start from Israel and keep asking questions from there onwards.

I sympathize with your country's situation. But you have to understand that you have been taken control under a theocracy that is ruled by an anti-semitic radical muslim. We can't trust Iran's word to say that they will only use it for nuclear power giving the history of disagreement with Israel. Ahmanidejad has said he will blow up Israel and he doens't believe the Holocaust ever happened. The Iran-Iraq war was horrible and innocent lives were lost. The U.S. at that time did help Saddam because we viewed Iran as a bigger threat. I apologize on my country's behalf. But we were nervous of a potential Middle East crisis and we tried to salvage it. It's because of this history that we can't trust Ahmanidejad because we can't run the risk of him blowing up Israel or take over a weak Iraq. If this occurs, it will expand the war in the Middle East and possibly create a WWIII which will hurt everybody. This is why we don't support nuclear development in Iran. If you can guarantee us that Iran won't blow up Israel then who knows? Until then, try to see this from our point of view.

Surely Iran won't start to attack,but if US or Israel attack Iran, Iran will answer them,and it's definite right to answer them,Iranian are peaceful people but they are very patriot, they can't stand attacking their country,but in this game many innocent people will lose their life, i hope Israel and US be more wise about this.

We ARE NOT ready for a war with Iran.  Bush is sick in the brain and has no idea how to run this country.  He keeps wanting to go to war with all of these countries, some body is going to drop a bomb on us before its over with.  Unless he starts a draft( which I think is coming real soon! ) there are no troops left to send!  Its pitiful.

What surprises me is there are 11 islamic countries surrounding little itty bitty Israel and not one islamic nattion has ever defeated  Israel, If it werent for Condi back in this summer pushing for peace Israel would have turned lebannon into a heap of rubble. \nNevermind has-no-balls-a went into israel slew 8 soldiers and kidnapped 2 of them. whay aint no one belly-aching about them 2 kidnapped soldiers? \n\nAs far as im concerned they have held their own and deserve to be called a country not a state. \n\nIf any islamic or kumbaya loving liberal disagress then get the hell out, join hamas, osamas renegade group or has-no-balls-a and wrap your old lady's face up like an extra in a kung-fu movie. another words, put up or shut up.\n\nI hear ya there was an AP article that headlined "Israel has settled illegally on Palestine property" or something like that. I mean what a bunch of hog-wash.  But it was an american reporter writing for the AP. \n\nThe way I see it nuke jordan, syria and Iran and set them idiots 100 years back. Thats the real solution. As long as left wing media is in control people are going to beleive Israel is a land of criminals, next thing the media will  be saying the holocust never happened just like that idiot president of Iran said a while back. \n\nThe way i see it a rattlesnake is a rattlesnake you think you might tame it but sooner or later its gonna bite you.\n\nBush do the US and democrats a favor and nukem before you leave office. By the way Bush, GOOD JOB keep your Chin up,\n\nthank you kindly\nan ex middle east vet
