Zenovia:

Again, I have to agree 100%. I guess I should have been a bit more clear. All I seem to hear is that the terrorists are "just like us," "it's our fault that they're angry," "we've exploited them," etc.

One of my physicians is a Moslem. You could not find a more refined gentleman--in the old school sense. He's always aware of his patients' needs, asks about their families, offers good wishes at all the major holidays.

But just when I want to think that the majority is like him, I read about some of the madrassa schools the Saudis are establishing in this country and the anti-American curriculum they're installing and I wonder . . .

Are most Moslems in the World terrorists ? I'd say that even in places like Afghanistan, Iraq and Palestine that it's only a small minority that are. On the other hand, do most Moslems in the World at least morally support the persecution of Christians ? I'd say most definitely.

I still remember the Palestinians dancing in the streets as the Twin Towers fell.

I would prefer pan-Arab nationalism to this breed of radical Islam.

Dear Lawrence,

I believe their reply would be that they are the one's that have been persecuted throughout the centuries, and are still being persecuted.

Now that might sound strange, but it is a paranoid culture and they can only interpret the actions of the West as what their own would be in similar circumstances. That the West has dominated the world scene, to them would be considered persecution. crazy

Actually, Islam is a non-productive culture, as far as I can tell. There is no business class, and every business has been handled by those that are not Muslim. I can't help but wonder sometimes, if their social structure has been copied from the Western world. Throughout Western history, the landowners were the nobility. Conducting business was something the aristocracy didn't do, so taking that into account, the Muslims being the conquerors of the Christians, Jews, Buddhists, etc., have become the nobility. The lower class tasks are left for those that are not Muslims.

I think it is the prince of Bahrain, (I might be wrong), that has realized there is something amiss with their culture, and wants to start taking his land out of the past and into the future. He's heading towards democracy, and a future business class.

God Bless,

Zenovia

My opinion about this is somewhat different. People in Europe for example, complain that the Muslims are allowed to wear veil and that their usages are preserved by the recent inmigrants instead of adopting the secular customs of their neighbours.

But they forget it's not the fault of these Muslims, they are the ones who destroyed their own Christian culture by adopting the so-called secular culture, which is Atheist and Un-Christian, inmoral and even evil (the "culture of death").

I am against Islamic terrorism and Fundamentalism, but as a Latin American I like what Ahmadinejad is doing and what the Islamic Revolution in Iran wanted to do: to secure the independence of Iran with a true national identity and to reject the Western establishment and the foreign control on the economy.

Christians should also fight for a Revolution, a Revolution that would restore the State to the original Christian principles, to restore tradition, to fight secularism and materialism.

Mr. Clean makes an analogy between radical Islam and Marxism. Unlike him, I see an analogy between Capitalist Globalization and Marxism, as both of them want to establish a One World Government. In Marxism people become slaves of the State, in wild Capitalism people (specialy in the undevelopped nations) are enslaved by the trusts and international companies.

Take a look at this site. It has some very interesting things to ssay abut the current situation vis-a-vis Islam and the Western world.
