Again I am not condeming them as a individual person with divine human rights, but there faith is one of in-tolerance and violence, that is what ISLAM is about. I also think if you truly beleive that any Muslim nation wants Israel around your fooling yourself. The theology is that ARABS truly beleive that ISRAEL belongs to Palestine, you are not going to sway them any differently.

Ah, but you ARE condemning them as individual persons with divine human rights. Ya know why? Because, you allow Christian radio programming, but freak out because one station airs a Muslim "Call to prayer". Seems to me that you dont' agree that they have "divine human rights" within this country.

I also think if you truly beleive that any Muslim nation wants Israel around your fooling yourself.

What about Turkey? They don't seem to have a problem with Israel. Of course, Turkey is a SECULAR Islamic country.

The theology is that ARABS truly beleive that ISRAEL belongs to Palestine, you are not going to sway them any differently.

Ahhh... now we get to the crux of it. Arabs are a nationality. Islam is a religion. Not all Arabs are Islamic, nor are all Muslims Arabs. For example, Iranians are Persian, not Arabs.

What this means is, Arabs have a problem with Israel because of NATIONALISTIC reasons, and some of them use Islam as an excuse to perpetuate horrors. Various wars fought between modern-day Israel and the combined Arab armies had more to do with Nationalism, not religion.

Respectfully, you're opinions would carry more weight if you were a little more literate.

Since, as you say, that is what Islam is about, perhaps President Bush should condemn the religion of Islam as a terrorist religion founded on intolerance and violence and send Pat Robertson and a band of Christian missionaries to convert them.

Christianity, during the Crusades,and the Spanish Inquisition, was intolerant and violent but over time it reformed itself.

The best we can hope for is that Islam will likewise root out its bad apples over time.

That cause will not be advanced by the West painting all Muslims with the same brush.
