I think this last commentator explains just about everything. By calling all israelis criminals and all Muslims just he perpetrated exactly that which Ibrahim accuses Islam of: Totality of purpose, totality of self-justification, an utter lack of self-criticism, a blindness to one’s own faults or grey zones, supremacist ideology justifying the eradication/annihilation/forced conversion/domination/liquidation of infidels or all non-Muslims.
The present American administration has decided to throw the infidel state of israel under the bus, that is clear. Alas, even if Israel goes under, which it won’t, that will only intensify Muslim fervent justification to do away with the rest of the opposition, which is, like it or not the United States of America. (Europe is already a goner) In reality, the new American administration will actually force Israel to be more forceful, actually win the war on terror, in other words on jihad, in other words on the society and communities whence Jihad and terror spring. Jews are not going quietly into the chambers again, at least not the jews of the Eastern Mediterranean. As for the Jews of modern Christendom? One wonders.

What about the language barrier? The dividing wall of mentality? Islam which is incorrectly and improperly linked by Western hooligans as Bush, Salman Rushdi and bernard Lewis to Terrorism is powerfully confounded and interlaced with Arabic language. You cannot read or understand its heart that is The Holy Qur’an with the sort of the mental set Western mind has. Moreover, all Muslems decline to conceed to Kafirs or Mushriks on whatever they say: Ya Ayuha Alladheena Aamanu lattabi’u Al-yahooda waln-Nasara, waman it-taba’ahum minkum fahwa minhum i.e. You believers: Do not follow the Jews and the Christians, and those who follow them from among you are of them not of you…There are so many verses in The Holy Book of God that call us to be aware of the devil as it embodies those who speak for him. Media is entropy in which disorder weighs heavily at the expense of order. Your media gives death and aggression a good name. The Muslem people of Iraq and Palestine cannot and will not forget or forgive the killing of children which your so-called democratic media has avoided. Your double standard policy in calling for the arrest of Sudan president for presumed crimes while neglecting to call to task Israeli criminals, won’t do you any good as it only brings to lime light the fact that you are lying and distorting the facts even in shifting the statement I have made in my previous comment on another essay in this site. I said Israel is supporting terrorism and you shifted my statement telling readers it was the Palestinians. You blame the victims (Palestinians) and praise the killers (Israeli criminals) . There is no single Israeli child killed in the last aggression on Gaza but everyone watched the slain Palestinian kids on the small screen! You encourage Israel to build nuclear arsenal and fight any other State particularly Islamic States for trying to defend themselves even with traditional weapons! What democracy you are talking about? Democracy that seeks welfare to pets while killing children of hunger and WMD everywhere in the Muslem world? We are fed up with your lies and it is time for you to understand that you are talking alone and talking to yourselves..The illusion or rather delusion of judging others is a mistake you never feel ashamed of. The Indian sweet lord of Richard Harrison is Kreshna one of whose manifestation is the cow, you never tell the Indians not to worship the cow! We Muslems have our seeing hearts and minds which tell us you are telling lies.Your democracy is an illusion, your society is declining and you are misunderstanding everything in your efforts to understand us. So the best to do is to live and leave others to their life, moral standards and ethical values, their language and history, and most importantly to their homelands and their God of wisdom, goodness and light: Allah Blessed Be His Name Salah Ali

For some reason when you speak or to be more accurate when you type I really pay attention to what it is you are teaching.

Most of the blog writings I read are illogical, filled with hyperbole, or ad hom attacks and straw man argumentation. You are clearly a cut above the rest in your associates in your analysts.

You rely on the evidence like any good scientist or skeptic conducting a thesis on his/her reseach.

Mr Ibrahim the ennemy terrorists are not who you are busy to market them ,definitly they are the Qaeda,Taliban ,Wahaebi and Salafy,how do you want to fight the Qaeda and Taliban and fund schools to raise terrorists and suicide attackers.Let your bosses in Saudi Arabia stop funding them noting that it is a matter of time and they will dominate Ahganistan as well as Pakistan.Go to the Wahabi.

The problem with all people, not matter what their affiliation, is their
puffed up egos and sense of self righteousness.
Until we defeat the demons in our own souls, hatred, malice, anger, jealousy, pride, racism and other diseases of the heart…much of which is apparent in the above comments…then, alas, the cycle of oppression will continue, no matter who holds the reigns of power.

While serving in Iraq, I received some timely information on the use of words in that culture from Mr Jim Guirard of TrueSpeak Institute, http://www.truespeak.org/content.php?id=itsnotjihad

With this information, I successfully used the terms ‘mufsidun’, ‘al-Hiraba’, and ‘tajdeef’ to counter the terrorist activities in my province. Sheiks, peasants, businessmen, tribal leaders, et-al instantly knew of what I was speaking and by the time I returned home, the people of Wassit Province were conspicusly using the same terms to describe people and acts that were counter to good order and prosperity in the province.

Show Obama, Reid and Pelosi the tea party protests were not “astroTurf” but they were the beginning of a massive movement against massive Government growth and the control that comes with it. Tell them to Empower Individual Americans to take responsibility for their own lives and for the individual to have control over the direction of our country Sign the petition for Individual Empowerment!!! http://www.PetitionOnline.com/Indv1776/petition.html THE ONLY WAY THIS WILL WORK IS IF YOU COPY AND SEND IT TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY THAT HAVE THE SAME OPINIONS AS YOU. ALSO COPY AND POST IT ON OTHER NEWS SITES, BLOGS, EMAIL IT TO ORGANIZATIONS ETC

“Words matter in this situation because one of the ways we’re going to win this struggle [war on terror] is through the battle of [Muslims'] hearts and minds.” (Obama) I'm sure this Kuwaiti professor, Fahd Abd Al-Aziz Al-Nafisi, is amenable to being won over. Just tweak a few words (maybe you could even dump a little of your famous "empathy" on him) and he'll cease his vile hatred of the infidel. Ya think ?
