This has been going on since the 4th century and CNN calls it news?

The real issue here is how this drives Islam as a whole to deliberately create enemies. The moslems desperately need enemies because power hungry Mullahs tell them "holy war" is a sinner's free ticket to paradise and "martyrdom" is a free ticket to the first-class section.

Thus the "oppression of islam" in Palestine, Kashmir etc. is deliberately overdramatized by the muslims and is a valuable a rallying cry to those in power such as Arafat as a means to stay in power, and as an opportunity for muslims to portray themselves as innocent victims waging a defensive war. The last thing they want are peaceful solutions.

This is something which stems directly from the "legimatized" violence in the Koran and is actively promoted by self-serving Mullahs.

Outsiders who wish to believe that Islam is merely a peaceful religion on par with Buddism, Christianity, Judaism etc are deceiving themselves. The sooner we recognize the scam we are dealing with, the better. There ARE peaceful solutions but not by appeasing those who proport to speak for islam.
