The fundamental difference between the Terrorists and the Americans is that the Americans acted to liberate Iraq you must be kidding yourself. because that is not fooling anyone in the world. WE are there to liberate them? from whom? from themselves? and who exactly asked us to liberat

However, the soldiers on the ground had nothing to do with that man's actions, and did nothing to harm the Sunnis. The attacks by the Sunnis on the Americans is completely without cause and must be treated for what they are: Acts of terrorism against the men and women trying to help rebuild Iraq. I dont
next time you think that seatbelt laws are just and a good thing, think carefully The principle is certainly valid. However, in determining how others are harmed is a very exhaustive thing. The seatbelt is a great example. by not wearing your seatbelt, you make it much easier for you to get injured in case of an accident. Then YOU will sue the other guy for injuring you. The other guy , and the society in general will have to pay for that. so by not wear
"We are better than you. We're more enlightened, more civilized and thus our way is the way of life, yours is the way of death. After admitting that invading their land in the first place was a grave mistake and then suggesting that we carpet bomb them to oblivion for their resistance to the invasion of their land we still are better, more civilized and more enlightened than them? does Carpet-bombing with nap
I can only presume that you do not believe in the infallability of His Word? Are we to assume that rest is always associated with tiredness? Can a person or God not rest out of satisfaction for a job well done? You certainly Can Not assume that. I firmly believe that HIS WORDS are infallable. That again HIS WORDS not the writers words. if by "Rested" they meant He finished creating "OUR" Universe, i can accept that but not that He is
The writers made it very clear that we can KNOW his "revealed" plan for mankind That is my point KFC. it is the writers, not HIm who say these things. and it is not only one writer, they are many. these writers wrote what they think He said NOT what He said. He specified to whom he revealed h
The Catholic Church interprets it this way and see if it makes sense to you The words, "He rested" mean that after the sith day, after the creation of man, God created no new ki
For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: I have no problem with any part of this commandment except the last part i.e "and rested the seventh day". it really raises many questions. was He tired? what happens after the seventh day? He works again? all week or rests again in the seventh day of the next week like people supposed to do? I honestly believe that this last part was i
what we ultimately agree on is the right of individuals to a certain amount of self determination Gideon. All i am looking for is reasonable stands about things that affect us all. Individual stuff, i dont care how people do it since it is their private affairs. they fabricate data and ignore oth
I believe we should think and not be hogtied by parties into being one of two different ideologies thanks Gideon, the problem is not the parties. it is the people. i wish the sane reasonable people have a party of their own. but how do we do that? and would they represent a majority to get to office and
I find myself supporting liberal politicians then I hate them when they are in office. Then I support conservative capitalist politicians then I hate them when they are in office. I must be crazy or confused. But is it really me? When strange things happen from people, my wife says it is the LAW ...... I say what law? She says God’s law. She is never able t
And I support paying taxes because my country does so mcuh for me. What I don't support is the government confiscating my income to give to others who hasn't earned it. Draginol I think most people agree with these two points. What is missing from the article and the comments so far is the real problem that most rich nations and the USA in particular face: What do we do about the fact that there are so many citizens who cant a
The difference between our points of view is that you think that you can simply ignore the problem and solve something else NO, i am not ignoring them , the proposal solves the root of the problem. if you believe that fighting the symptoms will cure it then go ahead. unfortunately it will not.
One defended the Quran and one the bible it is very amusing really. i thought we trying to discuss things in a serious way. you have a person taht says that he is no scholar and he doesn't know whether this a verse or not and you refering me to that? more over, God's revelation and wo
But I just showed you that Islamic Scholars attributed this to Alexander. They are Muslims...no? yes they are, and they can think what they like. but God's words are God's words. and that is exactly my point that i pointed out to you many many times but you choose to ignore it. Human input in God's wor
You "can't" look past them, because most of them are in positionms of power yes we can. We are not weak and fairness and good-will always tromp injustice and evil intentions. their power has no root and will crumble as soon as the main-stream populations are satisfied.
I guess they got tired of Palestine refusing to even try to make peace. of course, and that how the violence continue, those extremists on both sides take advantage of the unsolved problem. lets look past them and solve the problem and they will be marginalized and have no effect other than that of a
No, it doesn't matter what happened before 1930. Just as it didn't matter what happened in Germany before the 1930s. The problem we are having cannot be solved by dreaming of a past where it didn't exist. I guess that is the difference between our two point of view. The problem with your view is that it
And btw....this proves "nothing"! Those settlements were built long before any UN OR US intervention and who built them? and why ? you ignore that completely and concentrate on when they were built? lets not go into a useless arguement on who started what, we trying to solve the problem. not h
Compare the geneology to say....Abraham in Genesis to Christ in Luke Chap is that how you look in the bible for? i dont. It is gods words and guidence that i am looking for. if He says Jesus is a descendent of Abraham, i believe it , i dont need a proof of that. the question is do i believe t
As a result, the identity of Dhul-Qarnayn has become a matter of great controversy in modern times. and that proves that Qura'an identifies him as Alexander? these are people talking, no muslim regardless of his/her location ever thought of Zul-Qarnayn as alexander. now you can see what human input doe
So if you're going to talk the talk....at least try to stay current on what you're talking about. these are half solutions, and that is why i said nothing will work till you solve the problem from the roots. as far as staying current, i just read that Israel restarted one settlement that was supposed to
You completely ignore and underestimate Israel's fear of death. After the holocaust and after countless Arab claims that the Jews should all be killed, what Israel wants most is security, not all the land. Israel was _always_ happy with only part of the land and did _never_ reject any peace agreement that would have left Israel w
The local Arabs have been attacking Jewish settlements for a long time before the creation of Israel and when more Jews arrived they attacked them too. In the 1930s, 20 years before the creation of Israel, their leaders co-operated with Germany in finding a solution for the common problem (the Jews).
It is the Quranic declaration that Alexander the Great was a prophet This a completely false statement and I challenge you and you friend to point to that verse. you relying on hearsay not on critical reading of the book itself. just like there are people who say the Bible is just a collection of hist
