Everyone has 'valid grievances'. I am sure there are some Tamils living in the UK who have 'grievances' against British foreign policy towards Sri Lanka. I am sure there are some Chinese anti-Communists that have 'grievances' against our foreign policy towards China.
Yet, it is only the Muslim community that produces individuals who think that mass murder and terrorism, against their own country, is a legitimate protest against such grievances.
By the way, in Denmark Muslims make up less than 5% of the population, yet receive something like 40% of welfare benefits. A wonderful contribution to society indeed. |

Ever hear of Timothy McVeigh, Terry Nichols, Eric Rudolph, or Patrick Magee? How about Charles Manson, Lynette Fromme, Thomas Blanton, or Byron De La Beckwith? |

How about banning the US from starting wars?
There would be far fewer innocent deaths from that.
I feel far safer walking through Cairo than I ever have done walking through any US city.
If I ever meet the OP, I'm gonna kick his ass for suggesting some of my family should be banned from Western countries. |

as you do for yours.
If you are such a fan of Islam, move to Saudi Arabia already. |

Sure you're not.
I have not once heard a non-Jewish American refer to "Samaria and Judea" seriously in a non-historical context. Yet you have done that repeatedly.
You also take pro-Israel positions that no WASP would take. The only non-Jews in America who come close to your level of partisanship are bought politicians and the wackiest of the Christian fundamentals.
Your denial is unconvincing. |
What are you the Nazi SS, searching out "Jews"??? I've researched the history of the situation, and I believe that the original name of the area in dispute is Judea and Samaria, which it has been called for millenia. The "West Bank" dates from 67.
The reason you don't hear people calling the area by its proper historical name is because everybody seems to be overly worried about not pissing off bloodthirsty Muslims who riot when a Danish cartoon is drawn.
Think of me as ahead of the curve on this one. |

I think I'll choose to think of you as a racist bastard who believes everything the media says. Don't forget Christians have always been the opressors in the past. i think they have done more to harm the world in history. Were the crusades a fair, just idea? Didn't think so. |

whatever.....
I again say,
ban this dark age cult.
And again, remind me why it is racist to be anti-Islam, as there are people of every race who are both Islamic and non-Islamic.
Race is TOTALLY IRRELEVANT to this debate.
All races deserve to live without this totalitarian cult.
