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.

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.

Oh semantics semantics...
No I did not say I condemn them (Muslims) as people, there faith yes. I do not think that it makes me a bigot. I am a christian but have fmaily members that married into faiths of Judiasm and our differences regarding Jesus does not mean that we do not embrace what brings us together in faith.
Nothing in ISLAM bridges that gap with christians and Jews. I can remember in the 80's when American women were marrying Muslims and when they refused to go to Muslim countries there children were stolen from them by there Muslim husbands. I also had a cousin who lived in Iran and Sauda Arabia and they have shared how barbaric these people in the name of ISLAM can be.
