Theresa I owe you an apology, my reply was to Caddie Post # 20.

Caddie, my post was to you, a very hateful person, huh, and you have the nerve to talk about Muslim hate. Wow !

[stripes1776]

Indias solution to their Muslem problem was to slash off a huge chunck of their country and invite all Muslims in the country to live there. They then called it Pakistan. Didn't bring India the peace Ghandi thought it would though. I heard this on the radio the other night. Can anyone confirm its veracity?

Ghandi supported the partition of Indian into Muslim and Hindu states, knowing that if would mean the murder of Hindus at the hands of Muslims. Conservative Hindus opposed Ghandi's wreckless politics.

Muslims then proceeded to kill 1 million Hindus during the chaos of partition. Conservative Hindus hated Ghandi for letting this happen. That is why a Hindu assassinated him.

"Sorry, but caddie does not speak for America. America has a problem with radical islamic fundamentalists , she does not hate all muslims. You give freepers a bad name"

A lot of people mean well. But Muslims hate Christians and Jews, that much is clear. Saying so is no more racist than saying the KKK hates blacks.

[WiseMen]

According to my information, when the British left India, and It was declared a democracy, the Muslims thought that in a free country, they would not get their due respect as a religion because Muslims were only about 1/5th in population.
They felt that their great Muslim leaders would not get a chance to lead the independent India as a Prime Minister or as a President...therefore they demanded a seperate state/country where they could live and chose their own leaders from their own faith/religion.
I have watched the movie "Gandhi" that shows the kind of tension and concern on Gandhi's face when he learns that the Muslims want a seperate state/country. So the top leaders meet from both the major religions (Hindu & Islam) and draw a line thru the map of India which comes to be known as Pakistan.
What follows then is leaders from both the faiths appealing to their respective brothers and asking them to chose a side of that "line"/border so that they remain in Pakistan or India.
Interesting fact, is that even today, India has a larger population of Muslims living in India than the population of Muslims in Pakistan....

Thanks for the post.

I wonder how widely read this author is?

Unfortunately, the Church in violation of his example and principles did just what you describe, for the better part of 1,600 years.

He that hath a Gospel
For all earth to own--
Though he etch it on the steel,
Or carve it on the stone--
Not to be misdoubted
Through the after-days--
It is His Disciple
Shall read it many ways.
  --Rudyard Kipling

This is a prime contender for mouth-breating neanderthal statement of the week.

I hear that he's going to organize a book-burning... as soon as he discovers the secret of fire.

Gandhi supported this policy only very reluctantly, after mobs had made it clear there was no other alternative.

Hindu and (especially) Sikh extrremists apparently killed about as many Moslems during the partition violence as Hindus and Sikhs were killed by Moslems. No group came out of that mess looking very good.

It is totally disingenuous to portray the partition violence as exclusively or even primarily a Moslem phenomenon.

Then there's that whole figuring out what a book is hurdle.

Be nice if you read the poster's statement that they DID DO A SEARCH and didn't see anything related to article.

[MoJo2001]

Sorry that it's a repost! I am sadden that I missed the first one because I really liked the article. I suppose I've felt that the Muslim community has done very little since the ATROCITY! I have felt that some have actually enjoyed becoming the "victims" of the anger from the American public. However, they've shown very little towards fellow Americans. It's easy to yell and complain about "RACIAL PROFILING" because it's convenient, but it's another thing to sit silently as our country is being destroyed.

When abortion clinics are terrorized, I condemn them because that's not a Christian thing to do. Much of what I've heard from on Muslims is to not judge them in the same light they don't judge Christians "bombing" abortion clinics. Destruction of life in the name of God is blasphemy and WRONG. God is peaceful, loving, and indeed loves every creature that walks the earth. I'm saddened that during this time they have to slander Jews and Christians for the stupidity of people in their own religion.

Make no mistake, there are idiots in our population that have targeted innocent people because of their ethnicity or religion. However, weren't these people a little deranged to begin with?? Not all Americans are Christians, Jewish, or even Muslim. Some in our population are Wiccans and Atheist. That is what can be aggravating about our country and yet refreshing. We have welcomed everyone around the world to our country and yet, the hatred is so unreal to me. I've awoken and will no longer take my freedoms and my country for granted. I will no longer sit by and watch Americans "enjoy" being victims to get more sympathy for a cause that isn't pursuing the best for America, but for merely a religious sect and behavior that is against everything I've ever known or have been taught. If I'm to believe that Islam means peace, then prove it with your words and actions. Anyone can pay lip service, but very few can geniunely roll their sleeves up and get to work. I feel the Muslim community in this country has to start doing that. Stop hiding like the Saudi's and start acting like a member of a blessed nation that has been stunned, BUT AWOKEN!!

God Bless All Of You!! God Bless America! God Bless our President! God Bless the children today and their children tomorrow! We will make things better for you!

This is for everyone who has graciously read and posted. Even if it is a repeat and sorry I've ruined your day by reposting it!

When I read that many Muslims knew about the attacks beforehand and did not notify their local police, I decided right then and there that I will not use Muslim 7-11's or gas stations, or any other damn Muslim business. I know I'm contrary to what Bush wants but he is contrary to what I want.......The US out of the UN, so I'm not too worried about it.

[ChemistCat]

Any SURAH that says that Jews and Christians are friends with each other didn't well anticipate the history *I* have read. I still think we are not being true friends to Israel. Western Civ has done nothing but use and abuse the Jews.

Thanks for posting this--I too missed it first time around. Am flagging my spouse and others.

[ChemistCat]

It took me quite awhile and a lot of different searches yesterday to finally find the article about Hillary running a security checkpoint. Lately all online search engines seem slow & ineffective--from FR to Google and Dogpile, et cetera.

[nancetc]

FR was apparently very slow this morning according to a few posts I've been reading. Busy Freepers in the morning.

[Minty]

This is the first time I read this. Thanks. Wow. I hope the are more like him who would stand against things like this. He surely is clear minded, I wonder how long will it take before they target him for elimination.

"As an Indian Muslim, I know for sure that nowhere on earth, including India, will I get the same sense of dignity and respect that I have received in the US. No Muslim country will treat me as well as the US has.

Bears repeating.

"[I]n the US, bigotry and xenophobia has been kept in check by media and leaders."

Wrong. In the US, bigotry and xenophobia have been kept in check by Americans themselves. They--not their leaders, and certainly not the media--deserve the praise.

[Kevin Curry]

Wow. This is a prime contender for mouth-breating neanderthal statement of the week.

Too bad you've retired the trophy.
