For STSReader comment on item: The Enemy Has a Name Submitted by Straight_Talk_Luigi (United States), Jun 24, 2008 at 22:28 Brother in Abraham, This is another response. Read carefully, please. To single out Islam for the terror on earth shows how people can be idiotic and ignorant of the history of man on earth. The reason why Islam is mentioned are because over 11,000 attacks have been carried by Muslims over the last 7 years. If you want to learn about other forms of terrorism, maybe it's time to watch the History Channel instead of the news. Forgetting the Babylon, the pharaohs, the Israelites, the Romans and Byzantine, Persians (Pharisee), the Tatar (Mogul), Vikings, the british and American slavery of Africans, their killing, terrorizing, subduing the people all over the world, Killing the Gods prophets is something beyond the understanding of the writer, Yet all of this history. He's probably just more concerned with current events. Such comments from people shows either a sinister approach to the present problems of the world, that they want to blames others for it, other than themselves for creating the chaos that there in and deviate from the real culprit. I'm sorry, but it's pretty much Muslims who are involved in terror attacks these days. We're just giving credit where credit is due, and if anything, your country is rich because here in America we are too stupid to make our own energy. The barbarism in Europe in the middle Ages, the Crusaders invasion of the holy land, the killing the native people for the cause of the Cross shows what the real terror is coming form. Oh, spare me your platitude, STS! I grew up near an Indian Reservation, and I know full well the latest religion of crescent moon wouldn't have spared anyone who didn't convert, just as you did when your mujaheedin attacked and pillaged innocent civilians of Byzantium. FYI: If you'd actually study settlement patterns of the New World, you'll note that two things drove the expansion of whites across there:1) Finding a natural waterway between the Atlantic and Pacific 2) The finding of gold These are what drove settlement of America, NOT the pillage and conversion of Natives. The colonization and terrorization of the weak from the 16th century onward unto the 20th century, leaving them with no education, leaving them living in misery, culminating in the promise given to the Zionist movement to give the Jews a land that does not belong to the occupier in the first place shows who is the real terrorist in this world. Such barbaric acts does brand these nations as terrorist. American actions in the world such as subduing others to their will by force, is terror by itself. Translation: Only Muslims are allowed to conquer by the sword. Not only barbaric, but selfish too boot. Who does America subdue? Tell me, STS. The UAE?Torturing suspects, using torturing methods never heard of before not even during the savage middle ages Europe. Never heard of before? You mean waterboarding? That's an old trick used only three times in GITMO. Do you say that all these barbaric behaviors are not accounted for and you just want to pinpoint Islam for all the wrongs in the world which they have not initiated, and where initiated by your genetic ancestors. Sorry, but we don't subscribe to ownership of our ancestor's sins. You're not talking to whimpering white-guilt liberals, STS, so save the nonsense. The Emirs were also a ruthless group and still are today. Oh yes, I know all about their little sham to get foreign to come there and work.The west in general is the cause of all the problems in the world today? We're not perfect, but we're not as bad as Saudi Arabia. I suggest you read the history of Islam impartially, you will find not of the violence of the world is attributed to Islam. I have, and I have found that orthodox Islam is a direct cause of violence, because violence is permitted in the Qu'ran. There is a proverb in Arabic that says "The friend of my enemy is my enemy" There's also a proverb here in America: Know thy enemy, know thyself. So it is not Islam the enemy of the world, it is your government that is the enemy, to you and to many of the free world Nice try, but they didn't knock over our buildings in 9-11. Islamists did, using passages from the Qu'ran to justify it. The slogan of free world that America is carrying all over the world does not apply to us, because we are not free to go back to our homes. Hypocrisy is the motto of the American Policy. Sometimes, yes, but it's also true in the UAE. We Muslims and Arabs will not rest until we see Palestine freed. And we are promised that it will be. You don't speak for all of them. You'd like to, but you don't. So the policy of slandering Islam, branding Islam with terrorism will not work and will not weaken our cause of liberating our land and liberating ourselves from puppets that serve American policies in the region and subjugate to American will. Who's we? Are you part of a terrorist group, STS? Because I don't see any UAE occupiers....whoops, I mean soldiers,...ha ha.... in Palestine. The reason for such accusation is to make the whole world against the Muslims in order to defeat their claim to the holy land and defeat their cause of liberating Palestine and stop the American Hypocrisy. This scheme will not work. No, it's really so Muslims will stop blowing up stuff. Honestly, it's enough with animal rights, environmental terrorists and people like William Ayers. America is committed to a free Palestinian state. I feel pity to all those who cannot see the truth and cannot see more than their nose. I think you're the one who has truth issues, STS. You won't even accept criticism of Islam. I still think you should convert to Christianity. I will pray for you to increase your knowledge and that Allah will show you the true path.However as I said in an earlier comment, that this will not happen until Jesus the Christ will come back to earth and fight the Enemies of God (The anti-Christ and the Jews ....), this is a prophecy by MohammadUntil then the suffering of the people in the holy land will continue. If you believe Jesus will return, believe then that He is the Lord and Saviour. You're so close, STS, don't stop now...
