No body RESPECTS the words of MUSLIMs these days. the damage done by the TERRORIST HIJACK of Islam into terrorism has spoil the whole FREE THOUGHT in ISLAM. VERY SAD but THIS IS THE REALITY ! I hope the world dont Persecute the REAL MUSLIMs ! You see the INNOCENT LAMB dragged into the BLAME ! Such is the case with the Jews, they get OSTRACIZED together with the good muslims. The Real Children of Ishmael very rare but there are a few left.

4. Missed Point: Muzzling Info. Porn Mere Excuse.
Paqid 16 Netzarim ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (06.04.07)
Predicted 2007.04.17 concerning Internet bombings "Muslims already recognize the danger that this knowledge [historical fact as a basic tool, even weapon] represents to them. It's no accident that Muslims are bombing internet cafes; not just in Gaza but in Casablanca as well. Look for internet access to be muzzled (as Ultra-Orthodox and Chinese, inter alia, also find necessary), and, where the internet isn't muzzled, internet cafes to be targeted throughout the Muslim world because the internet is the great crack in their insulation that allows the modern world to seep directly into the heart of Muslim society, shockingly exposing Muslims, for the first time in their life, to the fact that the whole world laughs at the silliness of some of their really ignorant, contra-historical beliefs. This control of knowledge is the linchpin that holds all political power in the Islamic world – in other words, the Middle East. Where the Muslim government refuses to muzzle ("filter") the internet, Muslim extremists will have little alternative to bombing the internet cafes. Look for an increase, especially, in internet cafe bombings in Islamic countries whose leaderships strive to be "secular," and, therefore, oppose the religious muzzling of the internet (e.g. Iraq, Lebanon, Turkey, Jordan, Egypt, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, even Syria's Khizb'Allah-supported immunity will break down). Perhaps we should call them Muzzlims." (Netzarim blog, 2007.04.17, Convention Center page, Netzarim website, URL below). PS: the most popular Israeli Jewish newspaper not publishing candlelighting times on Yom Shishi is a disgrace to Israel and Jewish readers.

5. They asked for it and they are not kids.
Forrest Gump ,   Bubba Land   (06.04.07)
Don't these two writers remember that the palestinians elected hamas? I am sure that hamas has a pretty clear stand on internet (weather used for porn or blogging) and they still got a majority of the votes. So we have to respect the will of the palestinians and stop pretending that they are a bunch of kids we have to educate. The sad thing is that they voted for a party with middle age views on almost everything but they voted for it so let it be.
6. For their own good, muslims shoul be...
Rami ,   Nazareth, Israel   (06.04.07)

7. # 5 my friend
facts are clear   (06.04.07)
it is israel who is giving those people the power and strength , hamas is alive because israel wants it to be alive , this is the best way to create a civil war , is to keep the rivals alive and strong , so as long as these people are alive and kicking , dont blame anyone but the israeli governmet .

Damir ,   Russia   (06.04.07)
I'm sitting at my home thousands kilometres from any explosions and realise that even some of talkbackers present here might be blown up any minute. I should doubly respect their opinion.
9. #7 wishful thinking
(06.04.07)
10. #7 facts are clear...
Saul ,   Barcelona   (06.04.07)
...only to the truly ignorant. Judging by the conclusions you make, your nom-de-plume is perfectly fitting. I have seen: Jews and Israelis being blamed for arab terrorist attacks against Israel, Pal. arab interfighting, 9/11, Darfur, Osama bin Laden, Entebbe hijacking, French moslem youth riots, WWII and the Holocaust, war in Yugoslavia, war in Iraq, in Afghanistan, rise of the Hizbullah, rise of Hamas, Swords of Truth threat of beheading TV announcers, etc. etc. Don't you people ever pause and think? Are the Elders of Zion behind everything, from the IMF to your toilet backing up? Does critical thinking ever stir the placid waters of your closed minds? I have my serious doubts.
11. net ,,,,,, what net,,,
