Well, well, well - I write about the Jews and a day later the ISLAMIC "Republic" of Iran tells us they want to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth. That means killing every man, woman and child in Israel and a lot of palestinians and non-Jews also. How Islamic!

And almost all of the Muslim world is silent. So we have it. Hate, hanger and death are the fruit of Islam. How pathetic!

Have Muslims no shame? Stupid question!

Maybe destroying Israel is really an attack on Islam?

FH, I kind of thought many Muslims still blame the Crusaders (and a bunch of other people) for their problems, unlike the Jews - very few of whom blame the Christian world for Nazi terror.

Oh yes, I would like to indicate a great blog, a Muslim blog, that everybody should read:

That is it for today!

John Kactuz!

FH, How is Ramadan going? I once fasted for 3 days (full time, nada but water). Day one: No problema. Day two: A little hungry but not a problem either. Day three: Hungry! Fasting is probably good for the soul and also the body, in moderate doses.

Kaktuz,

I saw the news too its absolutely crazy.
And no, Muslims don't blame Chrsitians for the Crusades. Salahudin called them 'frengat' (ie the French invaders) so not to alienate arab christians. He never followed then into Europe after Hettein battle (There would be no France if he did).
I was part of the restoration team of the Mar Gurigus church in Egypt even during the massacres of the Muslim Bosnians by Orthodox serbs. There is no link unless I want to link them.

All I am saying don't hold every Muslim responsible because the Saudi regime have or have not done. For some reason you seem to assume that as soon as a Ahmedinejad or Bin Laden issue a press release that he is the 'spokesperson' of the religion and its followers.

Ramadan is so far so good. Now why would any 'rational' non-muslim fast in Ramadan ? :-)

I am 30 minutes away from eating time, daylight saving won't make it any better.

Peace,

AK

Personally Im tired of seeing on the news all this anti christian rhetoric and having it effect the society I live in. Im a young Canadian male. I have met and know and crossed paths with literaly 1000's of other young canadians. Perhaps 1% of them practice or care about any religion, much less christianity. The muslim radicals seem to assume that everyone in North America is religious. In Canada at least, there are FAR less practicing christians than regular worshippers. The muslims should be lashing out at Mexicans or Gautemalens or similar if they want to hurt christians (or catholics) THEIR societies are still archaic enough to support a huge christian/catholic movement. I also hate George Bush and everytime he talks about God in his speeches I want assasinate him myself. These same feelings I have for all muslim radicals, and those who lump me into a category with others I barely tolerate around me (being christians/jehovahs/ etc) Am I a racist? Absolutley not. I hate religion.

Religion has caused centuries of pain and suffering, and yet with all our technology and science proving the majority of biblical (and koranic) theories to be absolutely absurd, the ignorant killing in the name of 'god's' still continues and causes massive suffering. I once felt very much the same for all peoples, but as these islamic terrorist attacks on the non-religious continue I am driven to hate, and most notably hate muslims. To attack a soldier is one thing (ie: Iraq etc)- if the USA invaded Canada count me in on the resistance as I too will try and kill US soldiers in my country. But to blow up busses in UK, bars in Bali etc. is HEINOUS. Most of the westerners who die have no animosity to muslims and probably never practiced religion. So here is myself, who once had no disregard for any race/religion finding himself drawn more and more towards despising all of it, whether it is christian or muslims (who were all the same to me and even share alot of history) and I feel that ignorance now rules the new world from Bin Laden to Sharon to Bush, I say take ALL these religious morons and put them on the next rocket to Mars along with all their disciples and all their killing tools, our planet will finally be at peace, and if there are wars in my dream world they will be for material issues that one can prove exist, not the theories of men who lived 1000's of years ago and had barely figured out the wheel, much less real science. ( send me back 1000 years with a jerry can of gasoline, a generator, a DVD player and a TV and I too will be a GOD ) End the ignorance, and you will end my ignorance. At least I have the ABILITY and WILL POWER to look beyond my own beliefs at a future where we all live in harmony regardless of belief ( and imaginary virgins, which has to be the stupidest thing Ive ever heard ).

Monty,
Marx and Lennin believed they had the utopian world, only had to eradicate religion and everyone equally share the spoils. What happened? Learn to live under a secular democratic Government, where personal ideology is supressed for the secular wellbeing of all even those you want to kill. President Bush happens to head up a democratically elected Government and you want to kill him, I suggest you find a totalitarian atheistic society and you will be at peace. [Sorry piece]
