31. 30 - who did all that killing in the name of christianity?
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (02.17.09)
what religious christians did what you accuse of in the name of christianity in your post? did any christians, for example, make videos of themselves holding king james bibles and quote the new testament while going off with the intention to kill civilians at any time in the last century? just wondering.
32. #30 Confused?
Ak ,   Bahrain   (02.17.09)
You seem confused about WWI & WW2 etc except let's say Bosnia/Serbia thing .... Hitler, Churchill, Stalin killed, right, but they did't ever justify their killing based on religious scriptures. Hitler didn't quote a verses from the New Testament to kill other people, did he? ....... Stalin, Hitler and other guys were secular people. This is not the case for Zarqawi, Bin Laden and Co. ... These people constantly justifying their killing as a religious duty ..... They fight in Kashmir, Southern Sudan, Bosnia, Iraq etc. as religious duty. As for the Bosnian thing, yes Serbs killed mainly for religion, but other Westerners did not stand by or dance in the streets rejoicing the massacres... Serbaia got its due. That's what I intended to clarify. Regards
33. #30 Read about the crusades and the inquisition!!!
Sammy from Palestine ,   Amman , Jordan   (02.17.09)
I'm saying that Moslems should not be judge based on few acts by crazy lunatics like what Alqaeda did on 9/11. All moslems condemned the attacks of 9/11. These attacks were un Islamic and uncivlized. But the fact of the matter, christians killed more people than any other people. You asked for an example where christian used Jesus name to kill. I will give you a few example such as the crusades and the inquistion in Spain and killing the Red Indian in America....etc. Please read your history before judging other people. People regardless of their religion should learn not to dehumanize each other. They should learn that we are all from Adam and Eve and that every life is important to God regardless of color or ethnicity or religion.
34. Sammy from "Palestine" You've gotten off the topic
I support Israel ,   USA   (02.18.09)
I was merely trying to point out that your assertion of Israel's unpopularity worldwide was an over-generalization. I was not bringing religious culpability into the argument by blaming the Moslems for their image abroad. I was trying to highlight the fact that there are millions of people of other faiths that support Israel, and that making assumptions based on dubious statistics cofirms that your talkback is long on personal bias and short on facts.
35. Arab Dictators
Ahmed Ibrahim ,   Egypt   (02.18.09)
You all maybe right that Arab countries are messed up with dictators and supressing there population, BUT its for us to deal with thank you very much. I would recomend you search ( Wikepedia) for the tens of United Nations reslutions about israel and then you may get a clear picture what Israel is all about since its conception. If Israelies beleive that they are peacefull country looking to live in serenity with there neighbours then you are talking about the biggest hypocricy known to man kind! Walls, segregation, check points and ghetto's are what the Israely Arabs have to live through although they are Israely citizens. Egypt had to go through a war with Israel to get its land back where thousands died. Not land taken by egypt that Israel had to fight for, NO, Land taken by Israel that Egypt had to fight for. Israelies should start thinking about there childrens future and change how they see Arabs cuz like it or not we are MORE and we are going to be next to you FOREVER. Do you want your children to grow up being hated by all there neighbours just because you think that you are right and the Arabs are all terrorists. Israel has peace with Egypt and thats a pillar for its peacefull existance in the region, dont push your luck. Hosni Mubarak wont be Egypt president for ever and you never know what the next government will. Israel is loosing all its cards in the region fast and if you think that thats okay god have mercy on all of you.

Thank you for bringing up the UN resolutions against Israel. It is good that people be aware of them because these resolutions make up most of the UN business. Now the world can see what the UN and Arab countries are doing. Did you think we all would fall for that nonsense?! Do you think that the majority of the worlds problems is Israel?!! Not Arabs? Egypt has a peace treaty with Israel that may not be the best, but it is peace. Sadat was a great man and his actions should be the model for the rest of the Arab world. Sadat thought about Egyptions FIRST! Too bad you and others do not understand what he sacrificed (his life) for you. Walls? Segregation? Ghettos? Like the Dhimmi had to put up with. All those Jews thrown out of Arab countries were anti-zionist. They make up a HUGE part of Jewish Israel. Were they disinherited? Why you are not ashamed of yourself is beyond reason.
37. 33 - "few acts by crazy lunatics"
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (02.18.09)
since the beginning of jihad 1400 years ago until this very day, there have been "few acts by crazy lunatics"?? um, ok. i guess if you want to have fantasies like that, you can go right ahead. i prefer reality, no matter how uncomfortable it may be. have fun in your happy world - i hope the flowers are pretty there.
38. #32 Ibrahim---Rubbish! Every word of it!
usa   (02.18.09)
You speak as if relationships between countries happen in a vacuum and dismiss all liability on the part of Arabs. I'll bet that when you have an argument with your spouse, you think it is ALWAYS her fault, don't you? wild ass doesn't even begin to cover your lack of brains.
39. A load of Rubbish!
Ahmed Ibrahim ,   Egypt   (02.19.09)
Its funny how people start gettin personal when they dont have much of a point of view, dont you mean my 4 wives? Anyways, El Sadat was a great man i agree and he did everything yes for Egypt and for Egypts future. Wish there were many men like him now. Yet lets not forget that he was the one that got all of egypts territories back from israel and thats why we had peace. Its strange how that is forgotten, we had peace after we took our land back not before! so expect the same from the palestinians and not any less. If you again want to live in peace with the Arabs ( thats if you do ofcourse) then you have to give back what was taken, be it the Golan or Sheba farms or the Palestinian territories taken in 1967, if u will ive the fairy tale that israelies were kicked out of Arab countries and poor them were detained and torutred by arabs then fine. keep living it and living between nearly 200 very angry neighbours. By the way, egypt did not deport Jews, they lived a very good life in egypt till they decided to go by there own free will israel being the promised land. There are jews living in Yemen, Iran ( YES Iran) and there is even a jewish member of parliment in Bahrain which is an Arab Islamic country. WAKE UP PLZ
