Donnie said to weed out the propaganda ...that's an excellent idea and everyone should follow that. Ask yourself where you get your information? who's posts it on the internet? who has researched and written it? I get mine from a multitude of sources (mostly American) that post news items from around the world. Many of my sources are Jewish as well. I have found numerous sites the expound the evils of islam , but they are typically unidentified sources, or non-islamic and likely anti islamic sources, pro israel.
I typically try to prove myself wrong, to confirm if i'm right or not...you should all do this, for all issues...IMO.
There are numerous examples of islamic violence around the world today, alot of negativity, alot of harsh, controlling and violent regimes...but take a step back. many of them are basically backward tribes from the hills (Taliban) that have been fighting foreign invaders for longer than they can remember and fighting other tribes to boot...others are also stuck in the dark ages (Nigeria, Sudan), but probably also dealing with foreign interferece in post colonial era...think about multi national corporations scouring africa, and the middle east for oil, controlling local governments...
for all the bad examples of islamic regimes, and movements, I think that most of them can be traced back to foreign meddling giving rise to reactionary extremist (nationalistic) movements in response, and many are directly and openly responding to the Palestinian situation.
What Right does Israel have to the land of Palestine that the Palestinian Arabs do not have? Its a political reality that Israel exists and will not go away, its a 'fait accompli' a 'done deal', but they are not interested in a two state solution, they want it all. Palestinians will settle for a two state solution and hamas, hezbollah , have always said so (according to my sources) but the western media for whatever reason, does not report this. Yassar Arafat was very close to signing off on a two state solution. The Prime Minister of Isreal (name? ) was assinated by a right wing extremist, because he was leaning toward a two state solution...
read Jimmy Carter on the subject, Rabbi Michael Lerner, Noam Chomsky, and many more US scholars who see both sides of the debacle...
I'll ask you this, for all the examples of islamic violence around the world, can you say there are not equally abundant examples of Christian violence? US bombing apghan wedding party killing 40-50 people because they were targeting a suspected taliban leader...this is a typical headline in news around the world...Jewish violence ...Israeli settlers beating elderly palestinians, children, on their way to school, ripping up olive groves...The illegal invasion of Iraq because of the weapons of Mass destruction that were fictional. Al quida did not operate openly in Iraq prior to the war, but it does now...
What do you folks think of Amnesty International? The International Red Cross? are these pro-hamas apologists? why do they accuse Israel of committing egregious war crimes by indiscriminant use of phosporous bombs, cluster bombs in heavily populated areas?
You people have listened to the anti islamic propaganda to the point that you don't care about 400 Palestinian children killed by 'jewish' violence...or that's certainly how you come across.
There are numerous Christian churches in Canada and the US , and around the world who see what' happening for what it is and are calling for 'divestiture' from Israel...stop supporting this violent, racist regime...
yes, racist. Tell me I'm wrong, and explain it.
