Ok, I'll bite. How do you know that?
We can start by getting rid of the madrassas here in the states and stopping the NEA from pushing Islam in the classrooms.
I never realized how Mohammed went all over doing "important" things on the same sites of Chritian miracles and Jewish holy places.
My ignorance was bliss. That the Western Wall abuts a Moslem shrine is just nuts! And just a bit too contrived.
I guess I'm not too culturally diverse or very ecumenically sensitive. :-/

Seems we haven't heard much on the internal strife in Syria. It appears the dogs are eating each other there as well. I've found this forum; will try to find others.

Iran frees bin Laden son -German newspaper
BERLIN (Reuters) - Iran has freed a son of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden from house arrest, a German newspaper reported on Wednesday.
Die Welt said the Iranian Revolutionary Guard released Saad bin Laden on July 28 with the aim of sending him to the Syria-Lebanon border. It linked the reported move to the outbreak of war between Israel and Lebanese-based Hizbollah.
"From the Lebanese border, he has the task of building Islamist terror cells and preparing them to fight together with Hizbollah," Die Welt said, quoting intelligence information.
"Apparently Tehran is counting on recruiting Lebanese refugees in Syria for the fight against Israel, using bin Laden's help," it added in a preview of a report to appear in its Thursday edition.
Western intelligence sources have long suspected that Iran is holding a number of al Qaeda figures, possibly including Saad bin Laden and Saif al-Adel, the network's security chief.
Kamal Kharrazi, then Iran's foreign minister, said in January 2004 that Tehran had jailed about a dozen al Qaeda suspects and would put them on trial.
"Our general view is Iran certainly does have a few al Qaeda-related figures ... The general perception is Iran keeps these people as a bargaining chip," said a European counter-terrorism official when asked about the Die Welt report.
He said Shia Muslim Iran was not sympathetic to members of Sunni-dominated al Qaeda but "they protect them as long as they think they can make use of them".
Al Qaeda's deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahri issued a video message last week in which, while not mentioning Hizbollah by name, he urged Muslims everywhere to "fight and become martyrs" in response to the conflict in Lebanon.
Israel accuses Iran of providing Hizbollah with missiles to use against civilian and military targets. Tehran, which armed and funded Hizbollah in the 1980s, insists it now provides only moral support to the group.

Re "elastic" - you just know they didn't invent elastic. Instead of banning western words, I think they should ban the actual western invention. That would set their civilization back to - oh wait, that's talibanization.

We can forgive you for killing our sons. But we will never forgive you for making us kill yours.

I like your thinking..and if enough of the Palestinians and Israelis intermingle in school, business, marriage, etc..
then it will help..
But, the other Muslim countries that wouldn't have that "chance"...would probably take a lot more generations..for it to spread.
It has been a LONG time and hasn't happened yet..even in Israel.
They just had a father of Israeli-Arab children who blame ISRAEL for their deaths instead of Hezbollah, even though it was a Hezzie bomb that killed them..
2 of his complaints..they don't have the shelters, like the Jews...and the ambulances come for Jews in 5 minutes..but it takes 45 minutes for Arabs...they don't have a chance.
SEE?
Yup, stupid is forever... and they don't want to deal with their ignorance!
Gee, that was really dumb!!!
EP
I see it now...this is all a diabolical plot by the USA to get Iran to let go of the Bin Ladin sons and associates!
Israel is now tasked with going into Syria if necessary and finding them..and holding them for Washington...if they choose this mission..
Tape over.
Happy Birthday!
