Congratulations , you don't believe in Jesus as God or the Son of God. That's a step in the right direction. I and all the Muslims support your right to believe what you want.

I didn't say that. I DO believe Jesus is the Son of God.

From what I gauge as your definition of terrorism, I take it, American atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, where 200 000 civilians were incinerated,

I can see why you are arguing this (not because you care about those non-Muslim Japanese, of course), but it wasn't for ideological change, it was to win a war and presumably save the lives of a million Allied soldiers and the destruction of Japanese infrastructure by conventional weapons.

The idea behind those attacks were to save lives. In terrorism the idea is to kill as many people as possible until your point is across.

The USA even demonstrated its nuclear capabilities BEFORE the strikes, but the Japanese thought we were bluffing.

over 1.5 million civilians killed by the Americans in Iraq,

Naturally, since Iraq is a mostly Muslim nation, you're inflating the numbers. Nice change from the Japanese numbers.

Man, where do you get these numbers from? That's wayyyy off. MUSLIMS are the ones doing pretty all the killing in Iraq.

murder of Palestinians ,

Name one case where an American killed a Palestinian in Palestine.

expulsion of 700 000 into exile and refugee camps at the establishment of the Jewish State,

I would say most of these left voluntarily, and the Israelites will say it's more like 500,000.

However, I would say that Israel needs to honor more of it's UN agreements.

continuing torture and oppression of Palestinians,

They only have themselves to blame for electing terrorists. I mean, it would be obvious that if you elect terrorists you're going to have, well, terror.

rockets fired on civilian areas in the Jewish State, suicide bombings of civilians in the Jewish State. All this would be considered terrorism?

Attacks on civilian areas are, yes. .

You boast that you a champion of democracy and rule of government by the people,so I can assume you want it for, Algeria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, U.A.E, Iraq, Afghanistan...

Sorry, I don't boast. You would be surprised, though, at how much nicer things would be for the citizens of these nations if they were democratic.

Please note I have asked you for DEMOCRACY and Rule of government by the people, not SHARIA.

Didn't I give you get a comparison of both?

There is a growing opinion among Non-Muslim intellectuals and thinking people, in the U.S.A and broader West, that 911 was not done by Bin-ladin and his gang of Muslims in a cave.

Opinion is right, and it's mostly elitists who are using the situation for their political objectives. If you want to believe crazy liberals who have theater and drama arts degrees on issues of national security of the USA, that's your charge, but you run the risk of making a total fool of yourself.

I would ask these believers one thing:

On one hand, they like to see President Bush and Vice President Cheney as ignorant, rural cowboys who've been in the sun too long. But when it comes to 9-11, as youtuber webpundit would say, they have advanced knowledge on structural physics, metallurgy, demolition-based mathematics and getting the airplanes to fly on schedule?? Heck, the airlines can't even do that!

There is substantiated evidence that bin-laden orchestrated the attacks.
