31. #24 Another MoHAMedan fool

Check the bible moron. Then write back. This is reality, not some cartoon in some MoHAMedan comic book like the Quran
32. MUSLIM HATE AND RAGE AGAINST ISRAEL'S G-D
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (02.12.06)
Where is Muslim respect for the One great G-D of the Universe? Muslim mobs destroyed Gaza Jews' synagogues where G-D was honored and exalted. Hamas flags flew from synagogue roofs as synagogues burned. In October 2000, Muslims torched and destroyed the ancient synagogue in Jericho. Since 1996, Rachel's Tomb, near Bethlehem, has been attacked by Muslim snipers, bombs and Molotov cocktails. Joseph is the beloved Bible hero of Jews and Christians. Muslims murdered IDF soldiers at Joseph's Tomb. Muslim mobs burned Jewish prayer books that gave praise and glory to the One great G-D, and destroyed the Tomb. In the Islamic invasion and filthy desecration of Jesus Christ' birthplace, Church of Nativity, BIBLES were TORN UP for TOILET PAPER. Inscribed in the Bibles are the Laws G-D gave to Moses. Some of the Laws - Exodus 20: "You shall have no other gods before Me" "You shall not make for yourself an idol" "You shall not murder" "You shall not commit adultery" "You shall not steal" "You shall not bear false witness" "You shall not covet" Exodus 21:16 "He who kidnaps a man, whether he sells him or he is found in his possession, shall surely be put to death" JERUSALEM is MENTIONED OVER 800 TIMES in the BIBLE, not once in the Koran. G-D designated the Temple Mount to the Jews for His worship and prayer only. Muslims on the Temple Mount repeatedly engage in massive rock throwing at Jews, turning the HOLIEST place on earth into a common place of violence! Muslims have perpetrated massive desecration and destruction at Judaism's HOLIEST site, the Temple Mount. The OFFENSE to G-D is ENORMOUS! The Temple Mount must be returned to its Jewish owners immediately!
33. reply to 18

I think a lot of what you say is very true and interesting. I'm glad to hear a muslim beginning to think about the image that there people have been given. Perhaps if other good muslims spoke out against the muslims that have filled there religion with hate and blood shed the world would stop perceiving Islam in a negative way. It is sad to read some of my fellow jews responses though. We cannot continue to play a game of we were here first. We both have a right to the land and we need to be willing to compromise. However, Palestinians MUST STOP THE VIOLENCE...Muslims MUST STOP THE TERROR otherwise we are making peace with a knife ready to pierce are jugular. So #18 I encourage you to continue to speak out and encourage your people to give you your religion back from terrorists.

Poor little Ari hasn't figured out that I am not a "settler." Ari, you bore me because I have to explain things repeatedly for you to understand them. This is because you are so rigidly Left. If every Orange Israeli dropped out of the IDF, your officer corps would be decimated, and you would need to find some brave Tel Aviv post-Zionists (like yourself) to replace those who are much more patriotic than you are (according to recent survey results, not that it wasn't obvious without them). It is unlikely that the replacements will be as good as the originals, as they have already lost out in the competition for officership to those whom they are replacing. Logic isn't your forte. If Orange Israel indeed consists of "psychojews," you are disproportionately led by them right now. But think: if these officers (and rank-in-file soldiers) are so important in the IDF now, why would they "run back with their tail between their legs" to Tel Aviv if they dropped out of the IDF and formed militias in the Yesha villages that you call "settlements"? Would they suddenly forget all of the skills they currently bring to the IDF? Clearly not, and just as clearly, the IDF would be weakened.

I intended my second version (#35) to be posted, not my first version (#34). They are very similar, but #35 is a bit more civil, and civility is good.
37. Those Cartoons
Warren B. Zukina, Sr ,   Philippines   (02.16.06)
Cartoons of religious figures should not result in riots and threats of murder to those who design and print cartoons. The people of the world must be free to exercise their freedoms of expression through free speech. If a religious order considers death a just punishment for printing cartoons, then that religious order must look deep within it’s religious beliefs and ask these questions. If my God is a good God, why does my God want me to murder a person? Is murder just cause because someone prints something against my beliefs? Does my God want me to destroy others in violent ways because of their different beliefs? Why must I be violent and murder others for exercising their freedoms if their freedoms do no physical harm to me? It is difficult for those living in a free society to understand that violence and murder are just cause penalties for exercising free speech. It is difficult to understand that a religious society has any right to tell others that they can’t be free people. How can anyone respect someone’s religious beliefs if those beliefs want to take away the rights of free people. As I see the reactions of a religious order, so must I believe that is how the religious order must be. Any religious order that displays violence and murder is as it demonstrates. It is violent, it is against harmless freedoms of others, it is a religious order that approves of murder, and it is a religious order that wants to destroy all other religious orders. Logic tells me not to believe any religious order the promotes violence and murder to remove personal freedoms. Logic tells me that I must realize that any religious order that calls for violence and murder wants to destroy my religious beliefs. Logic tells me that my beliefs in my God are good for all people because my God does not ask me to be violent and murder. Logic tells me my God must be good because my God doesn’t ask me to commit suicide in order to murder others. Logic tells me my God is a good God because I’m asked to forgive and to turn the other cheek - not to be violent and commit murder. I practice my religious beliefs every day of the week. Not just on Saturday or Sunday. I pray for a peaceful free world and for the world to be a better place to live. I don’t hold evil thoughts of violence and murder that will eventually destroy me. I don’t hold revengeful thoughts that will churn my mind with hate that will also eventually destroy me. People are as they’re taught. If you are taught to be violent and to murder, so you will be violent and murder. My religious beliefs tell me to be good and to help my fellow man no matter what their beliefs. My religious beliefs tell me that I’m a free person and no one has the right to dictate what I can or can not do.
