		<description><![CDATA[Ibn Q Rassooli Thanks for your reply.  I believe in defense and offence when needed.  I&#039;m not a pacifist.  But have you noticed that you can&#039;t change other people?  You can only change yourself.  Now other people might change if they see you change.  If not, then you are only ahead anyway.  That is, all those Muslims might change.  I think it might not be right away.  Maybe even their descendants might be all the same.  But if we keep doing things the same way, then maybe nothing will change.  OK.  So I&#039;m a liberal.  That&#039;s the way I see it.  I don&#039;t want to be put in the box that I&#039;m such a big danger though.  I can think as well as you and I am willing to learn.  I went and looked up Hadiths and read a little.  I&#039;ll certainly want to read more.  There is always more to learn.
Thanks again.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Michael you obviously have no idea who and what Muhammad was otherwise you would not speak of tolerance and understanding.
People who have similar opinions as yourself are a greater danger to humanity than Islam because the agenda of Islam to convert or subjugate all of humanity to their depraved cult belief system is declared publicly, daily for 1400 years while you are not even willing or able to comprehend their crystal clear message.
Muhammad was a Mass murderer, a child rapist and molester, a predator upon women, a pathological liar and a charlatan. WHO says these things? The HADITJHS! Do yourself and all of us a favour and study them or at least have the decency of REFUTING anything I reveal NOT based upon your uninformed  OPINION.

		<description><![CDATA[Unfortunately the Muslim belief system does not allow for any compromise, 

The Koran states that if you are an unbeliever ( Infidel) you do not deserve to be on this earth. It is the duty of the Muslim to cut the throat of the unbeliever. Whom they consider unclean and evil.

The only way forward is for us to manage the situation for as long as we can.

Please read my previous post in reply to Ibn.

Sad isn&#039;t it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yeah ! Absolutely correct.

The History of Mohammed shows him to be a psychopathic murderer who made his wealth by abducting people for ransom .

His legacy lives on.

The Koran is a random collection of verses without any historical or other sequence.

There are several versions of the Koran and all are given the same authority by Muslims.

It is written in very evocative language and is designed to intimidate the populace. 

It sells fear and greed . Just like high pressure selling does.

Mohammed would have done well selling vacuum cleaners door to door

The Koran is a war manual .

Islam has all the characteristics of a hive 

There is no compromise with Islam .

Islam does not tolerate anything other than Islam.

The long term aim of Islam is to have an Islam only world free from Infidels.

The hive has reached critical mass. One point five billion and counting.

Islam needs Israel as a focal point for the +-150,000,000 Jihadists world wide. ( Of the 1.5 billion Muslims +- 10 % are Jihadists With the rest as strategic support )

Islam has declared war on the Western societies, but because we are making the fundamental and possibly fatal mistake  of trying to treat Muslims with values that they despise, 

Our&#039;s!

We don&#039;t want to believe that it could be true. It is too terrible to contemplate. 

This Israeli / PA conflict, is a red herring . A diversionary tactic to obscure the main Islamic purpose.

The tiny sliver of land that is the sovereign nation of Israel is only of value to Islam as this focal point. The False conflict between The false PA and Israel has never been about territory.

The surrounding Arab nations committed war crimes by attacking the sovereign nation of Israel, on four occasions .

Israel won territory in defensive actions, the Arabs have no moral or other claim to it. THEY LOST AND HAVE TO PAY!

Israel is still waiting to see and here the Arabs being condemned for their war crimes against the sovereign state Israel.

But the hypocritical UN is controlled by the Muslim states and the strangle hold of the oil supply.

The PA are expected to be martyrs . That is why the oil rich gulf nations recently reneged on their promises of financial support to the PA.

Just look at a map and see the vast territory occupied by the Arabs and compare it to the size of Israel so that you will see a better perspective 

The funding for Islamic terrorism is oil money from the oligarchs of the Gulf states who want to maintain their power when the oil is gone .

To this end they will have an army of brainwashed , indoctrinated murderers willing to die for Allah and to do their bidding.

The PA state that they love death as much as Israelis love life.

We should not be expected to negotiate with a death cult

The demise of Israel would be the TRIGGER FOR THE JIHAD OF JIHADS TO COMMENCE. RIDDING THE WORLD OF INFIDELS AS THE KORAN INSTRUCTS MUSLIMS THAT IT IS THEIR DUTY TO CUT THE THROAT OF THE INFIDEL WHOM THEY SEE AS UNCLEAN AND EVIL]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Ibn,
The way I understand Islam is that Muhammad was able to offer those tribal people something far may enlightened than the beliefs they held before.  And if he had tried to tell them even more they would have rejected him.  He gave them a system that they could live with.  And it was better than what they had before.  If he could come back, in my opinion, he would want to see Islam changed.  But so would many Christian saints and Jewish prophets want to see their religions changed if they could come back. 
If we want peace, and it may not come for many generations, what is the best way to smooth that road?  Being negative about Muhammad is not smoothing the road.  Instead we should try to change the world one person at a time, and we are the first ones that we should try to change.  Maybe the Arabs won&#039;t notice.  Maybe their grandchildren won&#039;t notice.  But I think that there are some Arabs that will notice.  So try to change yourself.  Try to guide others.  You may spend the rest of your life being a guide.  You got something better to do with your life?  And someday, we will make a difference.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is so easy for American &amp; European professors, academicians and politicians to comment upon Israeli society and affairs without ONCE actually studying the underlying reasons for tension between Arabs and Jews.
I would like to point out to professor Cantor what should have been obvious had he studied these subjects for almost 30 years as I have:
First foremost and last, it is the Arabs because of Islam that HATE the Jews. A hatred that started by Muhammad 1400 years ago when the Judaized Arabs of the Peninsula (indigenous, native Arabs who had freely converted to the religion of the Jews without compulsion) REFUSED to accept him as a prophet knowing full well that he was a charlatan, a mass murderer and ungodly.
 In retaliation, he and his thugs plundered, murdered, enslaved and finally exiled them from Arabia as well as he filled his Quran with hundreds of anti Jewish verses.
The Jews are not RACIST; Islam and the Arabs are VIRULENTLY racists.  
I am NOT excusing what the Bitar supporters are doing BUT it is extremely important to point out the FACT that their racism is to counter the extreme enmity of Arabs &amp; Muslims to the Jewish people in particular.
