Why do we pay these people to talk about ‘peace’? Seems like even the genuine representatives have quite a scam.

Qur’an (16:106) - Establishes that there are circumstances that can “compel” a Muslim to tell a lie.

So - the guy walks in, they check his forged papers (if that) and then they hand him a bag of cash just so he will talk with them? This is absolutely ridiculous. How much money did he just walk away with? And why are there no tracking devices going out with these cash payments?

These people don’t think like we do, they cannot be trusted and they will never trust us. You cannot negotiate with them.

I attended a talk by a muslim consultant to the FBI and he explained how Afgans don’t trust you unless they personally know multiple generations of your family. He was talking about Afgans specifically so I don’t know how much this applies to the rest of the middle east culture.

Sure they will work with our troops and *appear* to be trustworthy, after all we are giving them things in return. But in fact they turn on us when someone else offers them more money to point their guns in our direction.

This part of the world will never know self rule, at least not in the next 100 years. Everything about it is incompatible with our form of governemnt, peace and freedom.

Because that's how we idiots do it. Back when Jimmuh Carter got his much-heralded Mid-East peace agreement, what WASN'T talked about was the amount of money we paid to Egypt to participate.

I worked with an Egyptian a while ago who told me that, in Cairo, they STILL call them "the Carter buses".

This situation really further raises my trust in those who “protect” us. NOT!
