Gravatar You would have to quote looney Fisk! Of course there is going to be another 9/11 and not because of anything that is going on in Lebanon.

Tell me, what is it about Islam that allows Islamists to kill in the name of Islam? Why is it that more isn't being done in the Middle East to stop radical Islam completely?


Gravatar Marie, what is it about Westerners that allows us to kill in the name of oil?


Gravatar Source please for Westerners saying they are killing in the name of oil.

How many times have both of us heard the terrorists yelling "Allah Akbar" before detonating a bomb. Islamic religious clerics offer us that, yes, the Koran does allow for killing like that on 9/11.

Terrorists invoke the name of Allah.

Neither the Christian or Jewish religions allow for such killing.


Gravatar No, westerners don't say it, they make up lies like democracy-building. The religions may or may not allow for it, but no-one follows them anyway.


Gravatar Is "Marie" one of those yawn-inspiring Internet "soliers of Zion"?

She's certainly dull and predictable enough.


Gravatar "Neither the Christian or Jewish religions allow for such killing.
marie"

Marie, may I suggest the following sources for reading about such Jewish and Christian killing: The Old Testament, the history of slavery and the extermination of the indigenous people in both North and South America and Australia by Christian Europe, the conquest of Africa and Latin America by Christian Europe, the decades long occupation of Palestine by Israel (a Jewish state, by its own admission) and the shorter but also devastating Israeli invasion and occupation of Lebanon, and,lest we forget, the sanctions, invasion, and occupation of Iraq by a cohort of Judeo-Christian believers who run the U.S. Just for starters . . . Then we could get into the fact that the entire Middle East has been divided up for the benefit of Europeans and Americans. But you have enough to start with, don't you?

Gravatar marie,

Consider the following accounts from the Old Testament:

In Deuteronomy, the fifth book of the Torah, Moses shares this message from God as the Israelites prepare to enter the Promised Land: "I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the long-haired heads of the enemy." (Deut. 32:42)

"When the Lord, your God, brings you into the land that you are entering to possess, and clears away many nations before you, the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and stronger than you. And when the Lord, your God, delivers them before you and you defeat them, destroy them utterly. Make no covenant with them and show no mercy to them" (Deuteronomy 7:1-2).

"When your brother, the son of your mother, or your son or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend who is as your own soul, entices you secretly, saying 'Let us go and serve other gods,' . . . you shall kill him, your hand shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. You shall stone him to death with stones, because he sought to draw you away from the Lord your God. . . " (Deuteronomy 13: 6-10)

"When you approach a city to fight it, offer it terms of peace. If it agrees to make peace with you and opens to you, all the people found in it shall become your forced labor and shall serve you. However, if it does not make peace with you, but makes war against you, besiege it. When the Lord your God gives it into your hand, kill all the men in it. Take as booty only the women, children, animals, and all that is in the city, all its spoils. Use the spoils of your enemies which the Lord your God has given you. . . Only in the cities of these peoples that the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance. Do not leave alive anything that breathes" (Deuteronomy 20:10-17).

"Kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man intimately. But spare for yourselves all virgin maidens" (Numbers 31:17-1.

"I will send my terror in front of you. . . you shall utterly demolish them and break their pillars in pieces" (Exodus 23: 23-24, 27).

These are not exactly teachings of love and peace, are they?


Gravatar of course there will be another 9/11. However, to think it will be the result of this war is stupidity. The terrorist s hated us before, they will still hate us. Even if we sat still and said not one word, their contempt would not lessen. We have learned that to try to appease these savages is an act in futility.
