Hallmarks of nations that respect world opinion and diplomacy rather than violence I suppose. If all else fails, strap bombs to your children and blow up civilians.....

I am well aware of this, however if you are using the monotheistic God then you must capitolize it. I am an atheist, I normally do not capitolize god, because I do not believe in him, then again I never say "thank God" or use the name. However since he said "Thank God" it was refering to the monotheistic lord, thus requires capitolization. If you read a bible, god is always God, just as nearly all anglo-saxon literature(Beauwolf is a good one for seeing this) I dunno who luther is, but I assume it was the person I quoted prior. Well, I'll leave "Luther" alone if he doesn't make childish postings like that one. ------------------ Del:/usr/bin/laden |

Oh Silver Cheetah, regarding this quote:
"The initial claim to Palestine, - that the Jews have a ‘right’ to the country based upon an occupation 2000 years ago, is laughable. (Zionists base their claims on Palestine on the kingdoms of David and Solomon. From David’s conquest of Canaan in 1000 B.C to the wiping out of Judah in 586 B.C., that is a 414 year Jewish rule. Any analogy with the native American people doesn’t actually hold, as if rights are established by length of time the land was occupied before the arrival of the coloniser, the native Americans would appear to have far more right to North America than the Jews do to Palestine." The 414 years are when Jews had an independant Jewish Kingdom, not how long they lived in the area. Now what are you saying about North Americans? That they have no right to Ancestral homes in North America? North America is much much larger than Israel. Much larger than the middle east. If the Arabian League was a conjoined political entity - one country - creating a small Autonomous area for Jews would not be out of the ordinary. Heck I think Australia's Arnhemland is bigger than Israel. No white Australian can enter the place without a permit and mountains of red tape. Maybe the Jews should have built casinos on their land, or given an Arab the honorific title Prince of Tel Awales, or Duke of Edenkabutz. ------------------ I am the walrus!.... er, no hang on....

I could call myself And, or Both and they would thus be proper nouns. Heck I have a friend called Guy. I have another friend called Sheila. They are both Australian actors. He is a guy and she is a sheilah. I suppose will power removes the right of people named Will to have a proper noun for a name. Can people named Christian be christian? My cousin's name is Hero. She will never be a hero as she is a girl. Need I continue? Thank God. He is the only god I pray to. ------------------ I am the walrus!.... er, no hang on.... A fair dinkum laughing Hyena! |

As a Muslim Myself i'd just like to say.....Jihad means struggle....
If i had to learn to read that is a jihad.... But an interesting fact is that all peoples....Jews,Christians,Hindus,Neanderthal Man...at whatever time in history will defend themselves when another group treatens with violence..... And also There is a difference between Arabs and Muslim... Arabs are a race of people.... Muslims are people who follow Islam the religion and is not restricted by race. I thank you all and Peace be with us all!! |

One thing though...Buddists under the leadership of the Dali Lama do not defend themselves with violence, even if they are attacked. They still do not advocate violence to this day, although the chinese still occupy their country and supress their religion there. Some christians, like those who followed Martin Luther King Jr. during the civil rights movement in the USA Also do not return violence to those who inflict it upon them. True peacefulness is rare in the world, but it does exist. One could say that they defend themselves, just not with violence. [This message has been edited by G'kar (edited 09-25-2001).] |
