The writing is on the wall, clear for all to read. If they only would, rather than rationalize Islamic violence as somehow the West's fault.


if it wasn't the muslims, you would need someone else to hate. its wasteful to focus on the several million or even billion muslims when its at most a few thousand who are terrorists.
focus your energies on the ones actually doing the bad acts and not on your need to demonize an entire religious group.



As I've said elsewhere, the Washington Post reported that 30 to 50 percent of the populations of every muslim nation are boycotting U.S. goods and services since 9-11, despite their own leaders saying this will not hurt the U.S. economy, it will only damage their own economies.

As Patrick Buchanan reported, the collective 22 Arab nations have a combined GNP that does not even equal the GNP of Spain.

Again, such widespread muslim boycotting is symptomatic of a vast hatred for the U.S., and a widespread endorsement of Islamic terrorism on the U.S. and other Western nations.

It is precisely this kind of radical, repressive, unstable and hostile culture that exists in these Arab and other muslim nations, that stalls their economies and discourages development and foreign investment.

And in the case of Palestinians, all the foreign aid given to them should have given the Palestinians an economy and lifestyle comparable to that of neighboring Israel, but instead they divert it all to war, and pay the price for it. Which, almost comically, they blame on the U.S. and Israel.





Once again, rather than address the issues I've raised, you've diverted the discussion to a personal attack on me.

I don't "hate" Muslims.

Based on the fanaticism of their religious beliefs, I rightly view muslims with caution and distrust.

As I've said in previous topics, even in the Saudi Arabia --the heart of Islam, the epicenter of Wahabist missionaries and the ideology of Islamist Jihad-- TIME magazine reported that 50% of the Saudi nation's population despises Sharia law, and would like to see it abolished in their nation.
Even as Kuwait and other nations move toward adopting it.

I'd say that about 50% of the muslim world, give or take, are somewhat friendly toward the U.S., and non-violent in their practice of Islam.
These are the people who are tipping off the U.S. and other nations of the pending terrorist attacks planned by their more fanatical muslim brethren.
These are people I wouldn't want to alienate, who have a prayer of reforming their Islamic religion and culture from within, into something more peaceful that might peacefully co-exist with the West.

As I've said in other topics, I've dated two muslim women, one from Iran (named Nargus), and one from Morocco (Sanaa).
I have a friend who served in the Iraqi army in the Iran/Iraq war (Khaivan) My physician is a muslim from India, with an affection for Gold Key Disney comics.
I don't believe that all muslims are fanatics, violent and evil.

But again, among the true believers, well indoctrinated in the Koran teachings, even among the most educated muslims, there is a trend toward violence, or at the very least, of endorsement of Islamic violence.

I don't "need someone to hate".
Again, I never had an unkind thought about muslims until September 11, 2001.
I didn't see any other group, prior to that, as a threat to the U.S. since the end of the Cold War in 1991.

For a while, I could have believed that the attacks on 9-11 were by a few isolated extremists.
Until I saw video footage of tens of thousands cheering in the streets of Ramallah and other parts of the West Bank and Gaza. That was the point I began to see that Muslim fanaticism was more widespread. The point where it was clear to me that 9-11 was part of a much larger clash of civilizations. And that the time for sympathetic liberal-minded "understanding" of the muslim rationalization for violence was over.
And that sugarcoating of the true extent of violent muslim fanaticism by the sympathetic western liberals is collaborative disinformation, that advances their violent cause.
