Bush team's seeming indifference to making any serious effort to solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict


Since when is it our job to solve their problemss. Gee! It is like peace-welfare!!! These people think they are entitled to our peacemakeing. Make their own darned peace.

Some questions for you: Why is the religion of peace directly responsible for 28 out of the 30 violent conflicts raging in the world today? Why is the religion of peace responsible for the vast majority of chattel slavery in the world today? Why is the religion of peace routinely slaughtering unarmed practitioners of every other religion wherever they can get away with it? Why does the religion of peace promise the opportunity to rape 77 virgins in heaven for those who die while killing innocent women and children of other religions? Why does the religion of peace call for the sexual mutilation of little girls and the oppression of women? Hmmmm? Perhaps Broward Lion has just opened his eyes and gotten genuinely sick of the filthy, primitive, damned religion of peace! Perhaps he has it right and you are still seeing only darkness. If you pull your head out of that dark, moist and smelly place, you might see the truth also.

I don't agree with most of your premises which are just the propaganda of the haters. There is, of course, a wide range of people in the Muslim faith and some are primitive zealots. All religions have such people, the haters, including yours, whatever it is. I can't see how Broward Lion's ideas differ by much, or yours, apparently. That kind of bigoted rant constitutes your idea of someone with their eyes open.

I would still like to know why FR's rules against hatred and violent language do not apply to language about Muslims.

All those questions come directly from unbiased news sources, the Koran (which I have read) and from public records. Check them out yourself. Why don't you tell me exactly which of my questions you disagree with and why. Be articulate.
