We will kill and/or kill you unless and/or if you do somethi

[E. Blackadder]

The Islamist message seems to be: We will shoot you as a warning that if you shoot us we will shoot you in retailiation, even if you haven't shot us yet.

Simple and elegant. Gotta love it.

The fact that this happened in India shows how deeprooted and widespread Muslims are.

I still can't believe we listened to the EBs of the world who convinced us to choose terrible relations with the 1.5 billion Muslims in the world, in favor of good relations with 5 million self-serving Jews like EB.

Many followers of Islam in general have no tolerance for any other belief system.

Also many followers of Islam are willing to use force to punish or eradicate any who dare to challenge the Islamic way of life.

Many Muslims consider the U.S. to be the GREAT SATAN becuase they view our "secular" life style to be offensive to Allah. This Muslim hatred of the U.S. really goes way beyond U.S. support of Israel.

Can anybody name a Muslim country that has a functional democracy or women have a modicum of human rights? Can anybody name a Muslim country where the human rights of religious minorities are respected by the dominant Muslim culture?

Ever wonder why one of the symbols of Islam is the curved sword? Violence against "infidels" is a core part of Islam. Many Muslims consider the U.S. to be a nation of flaming infidels.

If you want to get involved, a good starting point is becoming more informed about Islam.

That's BS. There are tons of secular countries which have NO problems with Muslims. The only reason some Muslims hate the USA is because of our support of Israel in favor of them.

And how quickly they forget all the money we give to Arab countries. In Egypt the press says how evil we are. They still take our money, however. We give them the second most foreign aid of any country. I notice that the Muslim countries sitting on oil don't give the poor Muslim countries that much aid. Perhaps it is time for them to realize that their fellow Arabs are the hyppocrites and liars.

We shouldn't give ANY of them money. Israel or the Arabs.

Most fundamentalist Islamists would not change their view toward the US one iota if we dropped all aid and support to Israel.

They see us as a threat to implementation of full Sharia law in every Muslim country, because of our support of the moderates there.

Quit blaming Israel, it doesn't matter to bin Laden if we support them or not. He uses our support of them as a recruiting tool, that is all.

"The only reason some Muslims hate the USA is because of our support of Israel in favor of them."

No, the reason the Muslims hate Israel is becasue the US supports them. This war did not come about because we support Israel.

bravo, Matoro! great point!

We would be hated by Bin Laden if there were no Israel at all. He'd just have a little harder time recruiting. Thinking otherwise is pure naivete.

You know that's a lie.
