Mohammad, My hat is off to you if you really mean what you say in all honesty. ( Praise for sensible people.) Do you realize what a great world we could have if all people would behave in peace, without hatred and malice!
Many of the Radical muslims don't want to be friends with or share cultures with any Infidels, or Jews, or any other nationalities. We keep hearing it is the duty of all Muslims to convert everyone to Islam for World Domination. If the Radicalism would stop, you would see a change of heart among the West and Israel, and other nations, but as long as attacks and hatefilled rhetoric go on, there is no chance for peace.
There are so many things to be thankful for. In good times of prosperity, families are able to enjoy fellowship and activitites together, but now economically we see the crunch everywhere. In a way I believe the almighty is very disatisfied with many of the peoples on earth, and has allowed some bad things t o happen. People have been worshipping money and making it their idol. Many have strayed away from God's teachings. There is gay marriage, gambling, drinking, infidelity, murder, rape, and total corruption in Government.
The bible teaches that when a nation rebels against God, He will first raise voices to call the nation to repentance. If ignored, God resorts to remedial judgements which increase over time. According to Romans 1, what God does in times of national rebellion is to lower the hedge of protection around the nation and allow evil to multiply. I know your Koran probably differes on issues, but whatever God you believe in, is supreme, and is everywhere, and sees all evil.
I believe unless this world changes, we could be looking at some apacolyptic scenarios here and abroad. The weather disasters are also increasing. I am a very spiritual person and I believe what we reap we sow, and don't agree with the way America has been living. The debt, and credit card debt have to stop too. I think what goes around comes around!
I am hopeful there will be more people like yourself, that will talk some sense into the heads of the radicals. Hatred does not serve man well at all, but fuels the fires of war and discontent.
Respectfully, Deborah
