1. If Egypt can do it the Israel must do it too
(08.23.13)
No to Islam no to Judaism no to any religious zealots anymore It's 21st century
2. They can shave beard, but can't hid the forehead bump
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (08.23.13)
Those most intense in their five daily prayers end up with a prominent bump on their forehead. Morsi has it. So does Badie. And Al Qaida's Zawahiri. They can't hide that. Bearded or not, they and all the "covered" women of Egypt are the most supportive of sharia. It's delusional to think they will ever understand democracy and freedoms as we know them.
3. #1 yo got it half right
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (08.23.13)
No to religious or every kind of zealots, fundamentalists who reject every development and progress that man kind makes. on the other hand the majority of believers (Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, Zen etc...) do not fall into that category. They are peaceful people who want to live their own life peacefully. I have great respect to all of them. Personally I have no religious belief but that does not prevent me from respecting all.
4. They would feel at home in Europe and North America

Considering that Jews are nothing like Muslims - yours is a racist statement. I am not religious but dislike shaving and I sure as heck am not shaving EVER

Jews are EXACTLY like muslims, who are you trying to kid? how do you think we got the British to leave? we asked them nicely? Hasidim use the same mob mentality as extremist muslims to get what they want, and intimidate others into obedience. you don't like shaving huh? well good thing you don't live in north america, where if you like working, you better like shaving too! you are taking advantage of Israel's religious nature in regards to beards! good for you! lol, so am I ! but #1's point is very valid! it would definitely be a better world! nothing racist about it!
8. I agree with #1 and #7
Dima ,   Baltimore. Israel   (08.23.13)
Both Jewish and Muslim extermists have a lot in common, including customs, beliefs, and actions. Interestingly enough, both groups even have a shared interest in anti-zionism, with the example being Ahmeninijad getting friendly with the Naturei Karta.
9. #7 Ilan - the same?
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (08.24.13)
How many Hassadim have become suicide bombers? How many have raped Christian women and forced them to convert? How many people are murdered for eating on Yom Kippur? Sorry doesn't work for me. And I did have a beard when I was in the US Army as well. Again am not religious
10. Islamic surgery remove testosterone
Emes Said ,   Silver spring   (08.24.13)
Generating organic material st the source, subdues Islam
11. #1,#5 & #7
carlos ,   San Diego CA   (08.24.13)
How dare you!. If you don't understand the differences between Jews and Muslims you are bordering in total ignorance and imb......!!!!
12. Hilarious!
Cameron ,   USA   (08.24.13)
A big taste of their own medicine on the streets for the MB kids. I remember the beards & robes disappeared like lightning with the Muslim set in Chicago in the days following 9-11.
13. What does Al Jazeera USA
ASTRONAUT ,   SC, USA   (08.24.13)
