31. # 24 -- not a hoax
BS meter ,   Canada   (08.05.06)
I feel compelled to say yet again that those pictures were not a hoax or photo-shopped. I remember them very clearly, showing up in several newspapers at the time. You are the one who is stupid and naive and whose ideas are based entirely on fake BS ;-))))))
32. #22.Ryan well written.......I agree

You'd prefer to see them wearing kippas and wigs?
35. "hoax" pics are authentic -- proof
BS meter ,   Canada   (08.05.06)
Check it out at http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl_muslim_demonstration.htm The photos have been authenticated The only thing that was not accurate is the statement that they were taken at a "Religion for Peace" rally. In fact, they were taken at the rallies/riots that occurred n the wake of the Danish cartoons. The photos and what they depict, as well as that they were brandished at a Muslim rally in the streets of London (prob. with the approval of people like Olwenn), are 100% authentic.
36. Wake up!
James ,   New Zealand   (08.05.06)
The muslims have been fighting the Jews & the west for 1400 years and will continue to do so. When will these "fellow" travellers learn that islam needs to be crushed ,once and for all, or has islam got europa scared ?Israel has a tough job to do ,I and many others stand with Israel on this one.

Ellen don't be so presumptuous! The world is NOT united against Israel.Its just another muslim /media lie.#1 people for Israel don't happen to go onto the streets burning flags, shooting WOMEN & CHILDREN smashing windows and cars. #2 If we did the media wouldn't give stuff all notice.Their track record prove to me beyond a doubt I'm correct!

BS meter ,   Canada   (08.05.06)
Why, do you see Jews conducting the equivalent of a global jihad in an effort to create an ummah or caliphate? Wait, I'll bet you actually do. YOu probably believe The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is historical documentary. There isn't any movement in Judaism to try to get everybody to walk around in kippas and wigs. There's a mass Muslim movement to shroud women, and subjugate everyone. Or haven't you noticed?

i think if a bomb fall just beside you the world will get rid of one of the most dumbers in the world ... i am not Moslem but i can smell the hate for Islam and the Moslems which comes out of your skin from here in Europa ... i think the world should get rid first from the haters because they are more dangerous than the dumbers .... i wish i would know wich Moslem did ..... to you that you hate them that much .....lol ... if you call your self good Christian then you should not hate anybody like Jesus told us .... LOVE YOUR ENEMIES ....or you didn't hear about it .

43.  Cair its colorful history in the USA
Sandman ,   ann arbor -usa   (08.05.06)
...The Council on American-Islamic Relations (Cair) was founded in 1994. It's spokesman Ibrahim Hooper stated on NBC's Meet the Press that "he wants the flag of Islam It fly over US capitol".... "that the law of the land will be Shira law and the bill of rights would not apply"...... Cair has a colorful history of suing and losing law suits claiming discrimation , slander and libel against non- Moslem in the USA. As U.S. Senator Durbin stated: ....."Cair is unusal in its rhetoric and its associations with gruops that are suspect." Numerous board members or Cair are now serving LONG sentances for terrorist related offenses against the American people. ............... For information on Cair and its checkedred history go to this web site.......... (www. Anti-Cair-net.org/) .......... point to note: .ANTI-CAIR has won each and every lawsuit brought to United States FEDERAL COURT by Cair ".... (the court said) "As being without merit and bogus in every sense of the word" ...." for each and every statement was proved true without any shadow of doubt by anti-Cair."
44. pro-Hizbullah march in London
Briton ,   Oxford, Britain   (08.05.06)
It seems that only a few thousand of the most extreme Israel-haters turned up this time. What happened to all the hundreds of thousands who demonstrated against the war on Saddam Hussein a few years ago? British people are starting to wake up to the Islamo-Nazi terrorist threat to the whole world, including Britain. More and more people here support Israel's struggle for survival against terrorism.
45. Eurotrash bear part of the blame for
wolfrunner ,   san diego ca usa   (08.05.06)
this war. Hizbollah reads growing anti-Semitism in Europe as a sign that time is on its side against Israel. Who else is to blame? The Lebanese government for failing to disarm and remove Hizbollah from its southern frontier after the 2000 Israeli withdrawal--PER UN RESOLUTION! The UN for its chronic failure to enforce it resolutions wherever it finds itself. Instead, its troops just stood around and watched the Hizbollah arms build-up. Hizbollah for hiding its arms caches in the basements of civilian homes, schools and mosques and then expressing surprise when the IDF blows them up, including their inhabitants (how many of them volunteered their buildings anyway?) And, of course, Syria and Iran, for reasons already well-documented.
46. you have reported the wrong demo
ceasefire now ,   London, england   (08.05.06)
lazy journalism - your report of a demo leaving the bank of the Thames and marching to Hyde Park is TWO WEEKS OLD. It describes a previous protest. Today's demo of 100,000 protesters calling for a ceasefire now left Hyde Park and Marched to Parliament Square.
47. to # 38
Djazaïri ,   France   (08.05.06)
Never read the book you're talking about. I just noticed that people presenting themselves as Jews (what I think they're not) stole the land of the Palestinians, kicked them out of their homeland by force, committed and continue to murder Palestinian and other arab people, are ont the way now to destroy Lebanon, practise moral blackmailing throughout the world against those who dare just criticize their actions.
48. Outdated report...
JP ,   London   (08.05.06)
... seriously outdated! In fact two weeks too late as it clearly refers to the demo of July 22nd when it did rain indeed, when the official turnout was estimated at 7000 and when the march started from Embankment and "snaked" through to end in Hyde Park (today's started at Hyde Park and went the opposite way to Parliament Sq.) If anyone cares to know other true facts relatingt to today's event then here's where they ought to be looking: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/5246790.stm If still not convinced then you may want to check today's weather report for it was "brilliant sunshine" all the way in London... or is the weather man anti-semitic also!? Perhaps in a couple of weeks the censors might authorise the release of today's news from the war front!!!
49. all the world is wrong and israelis are right?
Naturei Karta ,   Occupied Palestine   (08.06.06)
i know this won't be published but i'll write it anyway, so, after i saw the article, and read ur talkbacks, i saw that everyone who said his opinion about something 15 israeli or israeli supporter starts telling him, pathetic, fool, anti-semetic and other stuffz, do israelis think they r the only right people and others are all wrong? can that be possible? of course not , instead of calling the others name, and telling them " of xourse they hate us, it's europe" try to fix urselves, and try to know at least, why everybody in the world hates u !!
50. Peace Rally is a hate march in the UK
MARK ,   USA   (08.06.06)
The United Kingdom wants peace by saying "death to Israel". The mayor is a big supporter of Hizballah. The British support Hizballah.
51. Hammas and Hizbulla
Nasir ,   Kazmi   (08.06.06)
Hammas and Hizbullah are the reaction of Israel atrocities and brutalities, we are not against the jews but against the israel who are ocupier and aggressor. If Israel has right to defent itself then why the Hammas ans Hizbullah have not to defent theirself. If Israel want to disarm Hizbullah and hammas then why Israel is not ready to disarm and make a arm free region? Israel has weapon of mass destruction, more than two hundred nuclear head, uncountable chemical weapon, and have a licence to kill to the innocent childeren and people awarded by USA, then what he want from the deprived people of Hammas and Hizbullah who are defending their country to eject israel from illegitimate occupation. At the moment there is no Hitlor but israeli governemnt is acting the subardinate of Hilter, now it is the time to dissove israel and all migrant from europe should go back their home country in the name of long lasting peace.

55. London: Thousands march in anti-war protest
Nye ,   usa   (08.06.06)
Isael has responded to Hizbullah rocket attacks by pounding Lebanon with devastating air strikes. At least 734 people in Lebanon and 75 Israelis have been killed. But the reality is that Hizbullah didnt fire rockets untill after the jewish terrorists started the bombing
56. Tens of thousands marched - Fact - I was there!
George ,   Liverpool   (08.06.06)
I am astounded, even disgusted at the misrepresented figures reported for the London peace rally yesterday. I was on the rally. And here is the truth of the matter... Whilst listening to the speakers at around 3.15pm near the Houses of Parliament, we were informed that the rally was still progressing at the starting point in Hyde park...This must be some two mile plus away, as we staered walking at 12.45pm!!! (and that's a conservative estimate of the distance!! Therefore for the media/police/etc...to suggest figures of 7000 or 15000 or 20000 is ludicrous, even shameful (must be an agenda here!). I was raised a catholic, although I am totlay secular. I have no axe to grind with jew or muslim. I went on the march yesterday as I could not just sit back and watch 'kids' being slaughtered anymore. I went to call for peace. what chance have we got when what is clearly, tanatamount to 'lies' is being reported as fact about opposition to this war, here in the UK. I am ashamed to be British as it appears to the rest of the world view our Government as condoning this war. The TRUTH is that a massive majority of British people from every political and ethic group (as seen gathered yesterday including jews - I spoke to several) is wholly behind an end to this sickening violence. To date 110 labour MP's are opposed to 'Blair's' unilateral backing of what is clearly the USA's proxy war(through the Israeli's) to run roughshod over the middle-east - regardless of the price in human life that has to be paid. Let's hope this is the straw that breaks the donkey's back, and he goes, allowing the Labour party a return to it's socialist roots. Call this a Marxist ideology if you like ( I'd call it a humane ideology) but as far as I can see, wars are conflicts of markets (oil/water/land) and not of people, justified via religious righteousness - Ask yourself a question - In a war, how can God be on everyone's side????? Peace and love to all - George
