false comments?

I've read the BBC article before, it is after all FIVE YEARS OLD. nothing in it contradicts what i said and if my comment contained ANY false statements please point them out to me in detail and I will endeavour to re-educate myself. In expectation of this and in good faith, allow me to highlight some of your false statements and innacuracies:

- "Europe's history from Crussador wars. which are the religious wars against muslims" Crusade was a catholic concept of religiously sanctioned 'just' war, a concept similar to Jihad. the first was directed against muslims, as were many others (a side effect of Islams conquest of huge areas of Christendom and its continued attempts at expansion in that direction) the first crusade only came to be after a byzantine request for assistance after yet more succsesful muslim invasions.

There were also crusades against pagan tribes in north eastern Europe and the last official crusade was against Britain (the spanish Armada) "through the massacures of muslims and jews in Spain after the fall of Granada" There were plenty of massacres by Muslims everywhere there warriors rode. In cordoba 4000 jews were killed in peacetime in one day by the occupying muslims. The first genocides of whole tribal groups was before the prophet and his warriors had even started there horses towards lands outside arabia. "according to christian scripts, the future "antichrist" will be middle-eastern from the surroundings of Israel, i.e. an Arab" I have never met anyone who both believes in the antichrist and that he will be an arab, though during the cold war i met one person who thought he would be russian, but like the vast majority of westerners whether athiest or christian or agnostic, i viewed him as frankly bizzarre.

Please tell me what scripture states an arab will be the anti christ? "antichrist are strongly believed in the United States, and probably the owner of this website Mr. Pipes has made this website just based on that belief" your being a shmuck DANIEL PIPES IS JEWISH he doesnt beleive in Christ let alone antichrist, he doesnt even believe in the thirdwayletsbefriendsmiddlechrist

"The war in Iraq where a million lives were lost, was actually an extension of this belief." The death toll in iraq is not a million, it is horrific but it is still smaller than the death toll of saddam and his cronies. importantly the current death toll is due to murder of muslims by muslims, on the plus side at least your not saying its all about oil. "There will never be understanding nor peace in the world as long as such beliefs that prejudge innocent people exist."

There will never be understanding nor peace in the world as long as there are people who will shoot a charity working nun in the back because an old man a thousand miles away accurately quotes an historical figure in an academic speach. There will never be understanding nor peace in the world as long as more than half a billion people are more offended by the old mans quotation than by the murder in their name. "but the point is that before you criticise others, please take a look at your side."

Its a good point, I endorse it and return it "may peace be upon you regardless of your religion" and upon you finally I reiterate if my comment contained ANY false statements please point them out to me in detail and I will endeavour to re-educate myself.
