In the face of rising threats to their freedom and rights, Americans today are uncertain about what a proper foreign policy should be. This uncertainty arises from the philosophical influences of pragmatism and altruism, which have misguided American leaders for 50 years, and have made it difficult for Americans to evaluate their leaders and to evaluate their actions. As a result, Americans have failed to forthrightly confront rising threats, and have not properly supported allies – in particular, Israel. We have, as a result, emboldened and empowered the worst threat to the West in centuries as explained at : http://xrl.us/bhmro3

if islam is against the free speech and the free net they would not used it for spreading their religion but terrorism was a responce to violence or mistreate it is not from religouse point it is more due to policy of usa and israil in mideast ............i believe in this .. as iam a moslem i know it is so diffecult to change my point to my religion but sure i do not force it in the throat of others but i see that the west want to force the people not to democracy as a value but to be anti islam and becouse of that they will fail

You show SUCH a spectacular lack of information I have to conclude that you are just willingly ignorant. "Palestinian" is properly ANYONE residing in the area regardless of race. The people you THINK are "Palestinian" are in fact ARAB. There is NO SUCH THING as a "Palestinian" race, language, culture, or history. I'm sure all that that means nothing to you. Lets just cut to the chase, shall we? Arabs have 22 countries. Israel has ONE. Be a man and show the conviction of your own hypocrisy by stating your racism clearly will ya? "Native Palestinian" ... dumbest thing I've heard all year that didn't come from Gibbs.

The "underwear" bomber does not count. This poor guy was clueless and incompetent, and would never have been able to attempt such a ridiculous act by himself. I mean really. He was assisted every step of the way, not by Islamic radicals but by the company holding interest in the full-body scanner. The event is propagandized so that more fear is generated, a need for the see-through scanner is created, and therefore more scanners are sold, that is all. A greedy company trying to sell hardware. Nothing more. These scanners, by the way, cause severe DNA damage and should be avoided at all costs. The public must demand that the damaging effects be publicized, and the scanners removed and sent back to the manufacturer. This things must be removed permanently.

You are going to bring up the Crusades and Inquisition? And KKK? (big LOL) More people are killed by Islamists each year than in all 350 years of the Spanish Inquisition combined. Islamic terrorists murder more people every -day- than the Ku Klux Klan has in the last 50 -years-. Since 9/11, Islamic terrorists have carried out 15,361 attacks resulting in fatalities. Last week: 36 attacks, 142 dead, 235 critically injured. 2009: 9,158 dead, 18,591 critically injured. 2008: 10,774 dead, 18,086 critically injured. 2007: 20,135 dead, 26,351 critically injured. 2006: 15,269 dead, 19,540 critically injured. 2005: 7680 dead, 12,865 critically injured. Do you see a pattern yet, or should I go on?

Some of these comments smell fishy, like Rahm sent them in retaliation for the humiliation of his Gentile son's communion in the guise of a bar mitzvah.

you also believe that Koran is correct to point out that Jews and Christan consider themselves immortals. that Jews consider Ezra the son of god just as Christians consider Jesus. to racketeer Jews and Christians who are from akin faith that is the just way...etc back to reality. 9/11 done by islamists. you would like the Jews take the heat instead. hence the taqqiya. ;) unfortunate, your effort made in vain as facts speak volumes. thus are not in the favor of your brothers in Islam. next time use factuality instead basing on fairy tales.

Islam allows freedom of speech and allows to criticise the deeds of Muhammad?

well written, sad and scary.

JDL is no threat to US, except for themselves.

"It is ours by divine covenant."? where was god when he is the most needed? where was he when 6 million shoved to ovens? why is he not educate stormfronters and VNN mentals who comming here to vomet their distorted philosophy? all these comments about imaginary beings, screwing our stance. use what is factual.

The term "terrorism" was originally used to describe the actions of the Jacobin Club during the "Reign of Terror" in the French Revolution. "Terror is nothing other than justice, prompt, severe, inflexible," said Jacobin leader Maximilien Robespierre. In 1795, Edmund Burke denounced the Jacobins for letting "thousands of those hell-hounds called Terrorists...loose on the people" of France. In January 1858, Italian patriot Felice Orsini threw three bombs in an attempt to assassinate French Emperor Napoleon III. Eight bystanders were killed and 142 injured. The incident played a crucial role as an inspiration for the development of the early Russian terrorist groups. Russian Sergey Nechayev, who founded People's Retribution in 1869, described himself as a "terrorist", an early example of the term being employed in its modern meaning. Nechayev's story is told in fictionalized form by Fyodor Dostoevsky in the novel The Possessed. German anarchist writer Johann Most dispensed "advice for terrorists" in the 1880s. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism#History

Obviously Obama has no clear vision and lacks the basics of the conflict in the Middle East, he should step down as president because he is a failure.

as if freedom of speech is to be against only ..it is better to be with in freedom but liberal is to be against most of the people .... religion is a faith not theory but liberal is a theories and there is a big differance to attack the faith or to attack theories i think in liberalism no need for religion but in religion may we need to be liberal if it is theory is about fair and mercy

No sooner was Obama inaugurated than he began his first pathetic apology tour, apologizing for America's supposed sins and begging for Moslem approval. Obama also bows to virtually every Moslem leader he meets. Obama combines hostility to America's long term allies with obsequiousness towards America's enemies. America's Moslem enemies in particular. One has to wonder. Is Obama's mission to deliver Israel and the U.S. to the Moslems?

External and internal conflicts are the lifeblood of Islamic society and conflict in the Muslim world is not seen as a problem that requires a peaceful solution. The enemy of the Middle East is not the West or Israel so much as modernism and the humiliation that accrues when millions are nursed by fantasies, hypocrisies, and conspiracies to explain away their own failures. Quite simply, any society whose allegiance is to the tribe rather than to the nation, that does not believe in democracy enough to institute it, shuns female intellectual contributions, allows polygamy, insists on patriarchy, institutionalizes religious persecution, ignores family planning, expects endemic corruption, tolerates honor killings, sees no need to vote, and defines knowledge as mastery of the Quran...is deeply pathological.

by definition: right to speak without 'censorship' or 'restraint' by the government the only thing is not allowed in freedom of speech, is to abuse it. an example: scream fire where fire is not there. (an incitement) thus you have not answered the questions I placed for you. does Islam allows to be questioned? does it allows to criticise Muhammad? I asked you two questions that requires simple yes or no. without the straw man fallacy.

If you were right, he'd be dead alreadly - meaning that hate is immortal.

Systemic Islamic dogma and doctrine as in The Qur'an and The Reliance of the Traveler and Sharia law make Islam incompatible with our US constitution. Sharia is seditous and leads to treason. Its simply a 1,400 year old religous war started by Muhammad against all non Muslims. Aslim-Tuslam............. Dah'wa by Jihad. Lance

sometimes I think ,he is a Trojan(Internet) . He was a christian only to become the President.

In my view, you ask foolish questions. If the land of Israel does not belong to the Jews by divine right, on what basis shall we claim this land? What right do we have to possess it? On the basis of fickle International law? On the basis of protean international commitments? The international community presently believes the Jews are illegal occupiers of Muslim land. On what then do you base the Jews' right to this land?

GREAT BOOK! Please buy it and read it! It will tell you all there is to know about Barry and the greatest fraud ever committed upon the American people.

an extraordinary claim requires an extraordinary verification.

Obama who is a Kenyan born Muslim and socialist has shown over and over again that he is an Arab sympathizer and that he hates all the things that have made America great over the years. He and his minyons, which include self loathing Jews, such as Rahm and Alexrod, have until Nov. 2010 when the make up of congress will change and then he will be thrown out of office in November of 2012,

I believe #9 is correct in stating there is archaeological evidence confirming a Jewish presence in the land dating back many centuries. #9's assertion that "archaeologists tell us the Canaanites and Israelites are one and the same" is a figment of #9's own imagination. I know of no archaeological confirmation that the ancient Canaanites and the Israelites are one and the same people. This is historic revisionism propagated by anti-Semitic German "scholars" in the nineteenth - Julius Wellhausen and others - and twentieth centuries; propagated today by anti-Semites like Karen Armstrong and her ilk. There is no definitive proof that the Canaanites and Israelites are or were one and the same.

if your challenge is with moslem may you will win but if it is with islam and kuran surly you will fail
