    the only reason that America are helping israel is because there are alot of powerful jews in America......America dont help other nations unless they have something to gain....this my friends is a business deal between America and israel. there are alot of power jews in America and they have alot of pull in the American government. the jews took part of palestine and said hey this is ours now...israel has only been a recognise country since the 1940's,,,basically they stole part of another countries land. you could call it an internation invasion...............im irish and its a fairly similar situation in my country....albeit more settled recently...but still this the same thing happend.

    30% of the second largest religion is a very big number.  Also the hamas are Sunni but they still use suicide bombing and talk about the destruction of Israel ( hamas have quit suicide bombing, if not, they do it way less than before, because they now are manufacturing their own weapons and ammo, and it is their right to say they want to wipe israel as israel says they want to wipe all of Islam ).  But if im not mistaken doesnt the Qur'an say that Judaism and Christianity are brothers of the book?  Doesnt it say to respect fellow religions? ( of course, but not brothers, but PEOPLE of the book, the people of the book, and yes it says to respect them as they do believe in the same God, but little twists here and there and other major ones here and there, but the Sunni section of Islam does respect, but the problem is, sadly, it is the She'a section of Islam that doesn't, and it is the She'a ( shiite ) who have more power than the Sunni, ironically, and the She'a ( shiite ) respect no other muslims either )

    Persoanly i dont think Israel is treating this war the best they should but i believe that they will win it. ( they might win initially, they might win all of Pelistine, but they will not prevail against all muslims, and that is for sure :} )

    Nobody cares about the, "Prophecy" of a false religion.


    She'a = shiite    yes, Shiite.

    and if Islam is a false religion, how come all of the prophecies it brought were true? and how come thousands of people enter islam every now and then?

    and how come it is the first fastest growing religion in the world?

    what is it there that the people see in Islam, and you don't ? please i do beg you to answer this.

    I dont think that their plan is to take over the entire middle east and eradicate the entire muslim religion(they would be pretty big hypocrites if they did that). They seem to be just fed up with the bombings and the talk of eradication of their people.

    But you do know that Hamas are Sunni, or at least claim to be, but they still speak of the eradication of Israel.  And that answers your question to the reason why the western world views all islams as Shiite, they control more power.

    They are both great religions if they actually follow their beliefs but it seems as if alot of them stray from that.

    and how come it is the first fastest growing religion in the world?  When you point a gun at someone and say, "Convert or die," you get plenty of converts.  They will go through the movements, kneel on mats, put their butts in the air , and worship your muslim icons, but thats only because you are pointing a gun at their head.  Force conversion also goes to show you why Muslims are totally unable to wage total war on Israel, their populations arent very dedicated after being force-converted. 

    In brit accent:   "Total War..."  OK I play Medieval total war too much.  

    what is it there that the people see in Islam, and you don't ? please i do beg you to answer this.  huh?

    Yeah but back in the day, when people had to work 6 days a week 16 hours a day in a field just to barley support themselves and their family, and the fact they had no chance to change their social status in life, needed a reason to go on living(the knowledge that if they live good and true lives they would go to heaven).  I dont blame them, our lives are considerably more tolerable them theirs which is why the belief in  religion is dieing.

    Convert or die:

    ^^Look at the guys in the backround looking at that book in his hand, like they were scarred to death of the book, or they were infinately curious to see what is inside the book, but too afraid to ask.  Indeed, in the muslim world curiousity does kill.

    Convert or die:

  • tetsultetsul Member Posts: 1,020

    Actually, I would say the second guy in the picture (with the mustache) looks more constipated then afraid. I mean look at him. Do you see him thinking "What is in that book" or "Oh man isn't this over with yet? I got to get to the can" Can't blame anyone's religion on that

    I'm not getting involved in this argument. People have drawn their lines in the sand and nothing anyone will ever say will change that, so why bother?

    Islam is not a false religion everyone who says that is in my opinion an undereducated man/women. Don't believe everything they say on the television set or what the government says.

    Remember what christians did in the middle ages!!!

    Have any of you actually read the Koran? Have you searched anything out for yourself?

    I am not a muslim or a christian, but i believe. Every religion has it's own thruths and i hope ther will come a day that everyone puts away it's differences an starts to look at the real meanings of the religioud books.

    When talking about the war. Who is actually the guilty one. Who has taken the lands of the arabs? Who has been terrorizing the arabs from the beginning the Israeli state was founded?

    You talk about the intolerance of the Islam but what about the intolerance of the Judaism. In Israel you can't get high up on the ladder when you are not a jew. Is that freedom?

    Don't spew all this hate, please.

    Jews where promised that land by god.  Why do you think they want it and believe they deserve it so bad?  And if im not mistaken, did the jews not own the land before the Arabs who took it away and controlled it for thousands of years until recently, when the state of israel was founded?

    The jews never have had a land of their own, they had always been citizens of other nations/powers. Egypt, Rome, England, ... Only recently (after WWII they got their own country at the expense of the arabs.

    Well there now you have it, Israel going on a rampage attacking everyone around them, and then they expect no one to retaliate, and whoever retaliates is deemed terrorist.
    Expect WW3 soon friends :}
    And expect Israel to lose in it.

    What do you mean no one here gives a damn?

    If you are talking about this web site maybe it is beause we come here to read about MMOs instead of RL news.

    If you are talking about the american people, there is going to be less of a sentiment for something that is not happening in North America among the general population.

    As for the issue, I have no religous interest in taking sides. I have no religon. I hate no-one based on their religon or color or gender.

    But in the interest of the human race moving forward....whenever you introduce the "God" variable into the equation of a conflict, there will never be peace....taking that into account, part of me wishes to see Israel blast the existing Lebanese government off the face of the Earth along with the governements in its neighboring countries. Then after the annexation of all those countries....maybe we can move forward. I objectively take Israel's side because they seem to show more potential as a government everyone can move forward with into the future.

    What I'm about to say is probably going to get me ban, but IDC. I totally hate Muslims. They are cold blooded killers. They have little to no care about themselves or those around them. All they want to do is kill. I don't have to know you and you don't have to know me. All I know is that you hate me and I loathe you. 

    This was mention several times before this goes all the way back to Issac and Ishmael.

    Hezbollah wanted to go to war. When they kidnapped those soliders, they drew the line. If somebody comes up to you and slaps you in the face. Are you going to turn the other cheek and cry about it, or are you going to grow a set and destroy the aggressor.

    Granted it is sad that innocent people are being killed. Israel warned them. Either get out now, or you're going to be caught in a cross fire. regardless, when you have civil unrest, war, or whatever, it's the innocent people that suffer the wrath of both sides.

    I hope this conflict is over soon, cause once Syria and Iran, jumps on the band wagon, the Middle east is gong to explode. Once this does, North korea is going to see this as a chance to flex their muscle and Assist them.

    So i hope Israel, mops the floor with Hezbollah, infact i hope Israel kills every single of of Hezbollah, Militants.

    If lebanon wants this to be over, they need to srat killing Hezbollah militants, instead cowering in the corner.

    Hatebreed, there's no need to hate Muslims.  All we see in the news regarding Muslims is about terrorists and extremists.  They are such a small portion of the overall Muslim population that in no way should they even be considered with the general population.

    Here's something you must remember.  Most of the countries that have problems with Muslim extremism are countries in the middle east with poor populations and a lot of political corruption.  This is not BECAUSE the populations are Muslim.  Some countries in the Middle East were colonies, territories, or protectorates of other (mostly European) countries before they gained independence.  Those that weren't were often strongly influenced by other countries, or were leftovers from the fall of the Ottoman Empire.  Although it doesn't always happen, many times when former colonies gain independence they are thrown into turmoil. 

    We see the same thing in Africa today.  The country that used to control the now independent nation usually sets a government in place before they leave, and many times those governments are either corrupt or largely disliked by the nation's general population.  Any hate towards the former occupiers is released once the country is no longer there, and the goverment is oftentimes toppled because of it.  That's how many civil wars start in the world today, and it takes a VERY long time for peace to return to those countries.  Many colonies that gained independence as far back as before WWII are still having problems with civil war and political unrest. 

    In Africa extremists gain support by using politics and saying that a certain group of people are the cause of all their problems (watch the movie Hotel Rwanda).  In the Middle East extremists use religion to sway the masses.  It's a well known fact that people are much more manipulatable when they are in harsh conditions.  It's not just people in the Middle East or Africa that have this problem either.  Ever heard of a guy named Hitler?  He was an extremist, and he took advantage of the horrible conditions of a country by telling the general populations that if they did what he said things would get better.  For a while they did, so he gained more support.  Then, when he had all the support he needed he caused the worst war in this planet's history.  Does that make every German citizen of that time a Nazi extremist who people should hate?  No, it certainly doesn't.  They were just average ordinary people in a dire situation who did what they honestly felt was their best option.  If the rest of the world hadn't let them get that bad in the first place World War II may never have happened.

    What people really need to understand is that we can't generalize and stereotype an entire population just because of the actions of a few who may or may not have support.  The average person in the Middle East is no different than the average person in the USA.  They just have to put up with much worse conditions.

    What we need to do is help these people, not bomb their homes.  When we do that we're only feeding the fire and give the leaders they choose to follow more ammo to use against us.

    Its ironic that Lebanon has a democratic goverment and yet the US isnt running to their defense. Meanwhile Iran gets away with supporting a terrorist group that is trying to distract the world while they develop nuclear weapons.

    If Israel was smart, they'd be bombing Iran right now because once they get nuclear weapons watch out

    TBH i hope they kill each other off.

    Im sick and tired of middle east conflict.Gas prices WILL spike within 2 weeks if not sooner and my budget is strained as it is.Israel is just as guilty of being totalitarian towards its neighbors as any other dictator in history.

    My point of view is this:

    The U.S. needs to begin drilling for the massive oil reserves within our borders and develop alternative forms of energy and let the middle east drown in its oil.

    This is only going to get worse folks before it gets better.Im already paying 200 bucks a month in gas and im not sure i can afford much more than that.

    To hell with the middle east and opec.(how much clearer can i make it?)

    This should be noted. This war has been going on for 1000 (give or take) years, and it hasnt ended. The only thing that will end it is total and complete destruction of everything, and everybody.

    The US government has been hoarding and sitting on their own oil for centuries, why would they start now? They are waiting for shit in the middle east to get so out of control, the rest of the world gives up and turns to the US for their oil. The money comes rolling in, US government once again can add another point in the "savior of the world" tally.

    I live in Virginia, and recently there was a massive oil spot found about 100 or so miles off the coast, but the government wont allow drilling for some unknown reason. Gas is around $2.93 for regular here, and im sure its gonna go up now that a bunch of ports in Lebanon have been blown.

    There's been a plethora of reasons listed as to why we won't drill more on our own soil. EPA is one. Gore and his econauts are another. Hoarding is another reason (though we've got a LONG way to go till the US would be the sole source of oil in the world. China and Russia alone got a ways to go before they're "out".

    Truth be told the US doesn't get the majority of it's oil from OPEC. An excerpt from http://www.snopes.com/politics/gasoline/saudigas.asp if you are bored.

    Although the message quoted above doesn't address where (outside of the Middle East) we import oil from, many people come away from reading it with the mistaken impression that most of the USA's crude oil is imported from the Middle East. It isn't. According to some recent figures regarding crude oil imports, only 31% of the USA's imports came from Arab OPEC countries (Algeria, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia) in January 2002. The top six countries (by percentage of total USA imports) supplying crude oil to the USA in January 2002 were:


    Saudi Arabia:   16.9%
    Mexico:   15.1%
    Canada:   15.0%
    Venezuela:   14.4%
    Iraq:   11.4%
    Nigeria:   5.9.%
    (Henceforth, our definition of "Middle East" will encompass the five countries identified by the U.S. Department of Energy as "Arab OPEC" nations: Algeria, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. This definition does not include other oil-exporting countries identified by the DoE as "Persian Gulf" exporters, such as Bahrain, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates.)

    I'm sure that fact that we get 14.4% from Venezuela isn't helping anything right now with the wild crawfish that Hugo Chavez has up his rear end now.

    Personally, I do care. I wouldn't be watching CNN most of my waking hours. I think Israel could show a little restraint, yes. But Hezbolah is just as much to blame. Of course, I find it convenient that the very day the Israeli soldiers were kidnapped happens to coincide with the day Iran, a major fiscal funding source for Hezbolah, had to respond to the UN about their "nuclear" status.
    Well there now you have it, Israel going on a rampage attacking everyone around them, and then they expect no one to retaliate, and whoever retaliates is deemed terrorist.
    Everyone around them? Everyone being areas in Southern Lebanon are Beruit International Airport? They didn't even open direct fire on the Hamas insurgents in gaza who blew open the locked gate with RPGs. You're concept of EVERYONE seems a bit screwed if you ask me. The Lebonese army hasn't attacked Israel, Hezbolah has. The ONLY people the Israelis are calling "terrorists" are the terrorists. The same two groups labelled as terrorists by the US and the UN.
    Expect WW3 soon friends :}
    And expect Israel to lose in it.
    I do expect it soon. You have your scriptures that say Israel will lose in "prohecies", I have mine that say it's going to be a pretty little repeat of the 6-day War. Of course, right now I saw watch Damascus. If it's heavily attacked it will differentiate this Middle East War from the others. Then again, I wouldn't be shocked if someone randomly shows up and signs a 7 year treaty with Israel...if I am still here to see it.

    Canada's oil production is bound to at least double in the next decade, exploiting sites in Canada require different methods, the oil is not stored in the same way as in middle east, there are PLENTY in Canada, it is technological issues that must be overcome.  They have been overcome and the tests where conclusives, the high up in the US even come last month to see that in Alberta, it was a first.  Basically, oil is in a thick sand. Instead of pumping it up, you have to extract it from sand.

    However this 15% seem quite high, yet I have no idea, I am just saying that Canada will more than double it output and the plan is to sell in the US, limit transportation costs.

    Really? See, now I was completely unaware of that (probably missed it's report on the news amogst everything else we are innundated with). Sweet, I'd LOVE to see the US do more business with Canada on that front than any of the other major providing countries listed in that report.

    Thanks for the info, Ano. I am going have to look into that info. I hope you guys really figure something out so process those untapped sources. Of course, I still really hope the world can start to move away from oil in general.

Well, you know how you feel when you wait for an MMO to come out and when it does you feel like you've paid to play it's beta test for another 6-9 months before anything even thinks of working the way it should? Being a network engineer you feel that way about anything Microsoft puts out."

    If they hadn't struck first, it wouldn't have happened. The belligerent arabs (not all arabs, but those that are precluding peace) in the region obviously cannot abide by treaties; no peace will exist until they are exterminated.

    This is a sequence of characters intended to produce some profound mental effect, but it has failed.
