    The religion of peace comes home to roost. Well, if they have to murder someone, better it be each other.

      The inference you draw from this indicates your inability to think it through.

      Mecca is in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is not free. It is not democratic. It does have close ties with the US because of oil. It is also Iraq's neighbor.

      There's a few clues for starters for you to help you come up with something less mind-meltingly shallow.

      cherev, Do you know what you're talking about here?

      Sure a mosque was attacked but there is no indication that it was another Muslim group that did it (the Chief Minister said the incident was under investigation). This mosque is in India and the attackers could be Hindu. There has been internecine conflict in India between Hindu and Muslim for quite some time. Or, perhaps you know that and just think that Indians should kill each other, I'm not sure.

        It is not against each other it is Hindu vs Muslims, like the Israelis and the Palestinians. You need to get the fact straight, whether you like it or not Islam is the religion of peace, the religion of truth that doesn't mean you can walk in and invade and subjugate. If you want to live in peace you should know to defend and repel your enemies, strike terror into their hearts, that will give you peace or you country will fall in to pieces. For you Muslims are bad guys because they are fighting the Americans and the Israelis, if they give in they are very peaceful people, so you can control their wealth and plunder, why do you need war funding if you are peaceful?

      This is sad because even the people who truely want peace are caught up in the politics and even targeted.

        They were caught up by the violent fringe within their religion.

      Personally being pragmatic, how many Arab peace demonstrations have you witnessed. The arabs do not show tolerance nor being a part of the 21st century. Quite barbaric and illiterate to say the least.

      Did you see the killing by a mob of arabs against the teenage girl who had the audacity to want to associate with someone other than her own clan, just happened. How can any civil minded individual condone the arab thought process. I think their god is not very friendly.

      If we had the availablility of space travel, most arabs and Islamist should be sent to mars. They then could bomb martians while the average muslim could continue to condone and accept all the lunacy within.

        That's quite a broad brush you paint with there, NelsonR.

        Just when I think there's hope for you, you spew up the usual, jingoistic, xenophobic, racist bile and bigotry I've come to expect from others further down the evolutionary ladder.

        It may come as some surprise to you, but most of the world thinks Americans are arrogant, violent, bombastic, self-centred, superficial, materialistic, parochial, loud-mouthed and stupid. Ergo the Ugly American.

        But I don't doubt you would deny such negative stereotyping vehemently. As you should if you disapprove of such labelling of yourself and others in this world.
