I am the first to admit that 9/11 should have never happened. It was horrific. There were 2730 dead in this attack and they were of many nationalities. There is no excuse for what happened. But what is your excuse for losing 4500+plus dead in Iraq and over 30, 000 wounded and a similar situation to a lesser degree is taking place in Afghanistan. The attackers everyone agrees were Arabs. Why aren't you at war with them?

Which is a greater number 2730 or 4500 +30,000? You insist on cutting your nose to spite your face and bankrupting yourselves.

Where did you get the idea that Muslims want to take over the world by violent Jihad? Jihad means "to strive" Now there are two types of Jihad the Jihad e Kabirah or the Greater Jihad and that is against one's self. and the second or the Jihad e Saghirah is to fight in defense of Islam provided you have been attacked . We do not believe in Preemption. How many Muslim states wecomed what happened on 9/11? Did they side with the USA or against the USA?.

My question once again is why does your Government permit Saudi money into the US Universities? Why if we are the lecherous lot you make us out to be, do you deal with us? Tell me where you got the idea of little girls from minorities kidnapped to satisfy ourselves by raping them? Yes you did say you did say that you were not inclined to read a book I mentioned written by Dr. David Cook and published by the University of California Berkeley titled Understanding Jihad? If you think we are as degraded as to desecrate our mosques and Holy Book then it is your view not mine. May I suggest you visit the CAIR website and learn of the desecration of Mosques in the USA carried out by people in your country. being a Muslim, I can read Daniel Pipes and the Middle Eastern Quarterly. Have I said one word degrading or disrespectful of Judaism or Christianity? Yet you insist we want o wipe out these religions violently?

Now learn, the Prophets ( may peace be upon them) of the Jews and Christians are our Prophets *(may peace be upon them )also..

Incidentally, if Saddam Hussein was as bad as Hitler, why did the USA back him to take out the Iranian Government in the 1980s? How had Saddam Hussein hurt the USA. Did he venture to attack the USA? I suggest you read Bob Woodward's Plan of Attack and you will see reason for attacking Iraq was.

You mention the military ventures of Islam into Europe but what about Europe's militant ventures into Islamic lands? Are the Saudis, and the Gulf Emirates not Muslims? You have befriend them because it is to your benefit. There are others who inhabit this world other than .you. learn about them it will stand you in good stead.
