Typical islamic hypocrisy.Nov 30th, 2008 - 10:34:55

Sure. The Pope says that Islam isn't a religion of peace; so muslims burn down churches to prove him wrong.
The danish cartoons are viewed as insulting to Islam, so muslims attack Scandinavian embassies.
The Israelis bulldoze houses in the Palestinian territories, and the muslims kill a bunch of Hindus (and a handful of Jews).

Can't they think of a better excuse for mass murder? Does anyone seriously believe that they'd stop killing unbelievers, if Israel somehow ceased to exist tomorrow?

Islam is a religion of murder, and its followers have no place in the modern world. They are the single biggest threat to civilization and sanity the planet has ever known. They are a cult dedicated to the death of everyone who refuses to conform.

Islam must be destroyed completely or we'll never be out of the shadow of these lunatics. Maybe when they see Mecca burned to the ground, their faith will start to waver. If that's what it takes, let's do it, the sooner the better.

Dear Friend(s), I can understand the anger you have in you and believe me, I am angry more than you. These terrorists must be stoned to death. Having said this, I must also mention that your understanding of Islam is not correct. You have been given to understand the passages from Quran that talks of Jehad. But they have been quoted out of context. Quran does not advocate killing the civilians like these terrorists are doing. Also you talk of 'burning down of Makkah' - no this will not waver our faith. Kaba in Makkah is just a direction for us. Our faith is in one and only one God, the same God whom Jews and Christians worship. Let us try our best to mitigate hatered and anger and work towards getting these terrorits to their knees. It is only the collective effort and a hollistic comprehension of the problem - that will help. Once again, let this be noted that I and many other muslims like me hate these terrorists more than you do. I do not think that the way these terrorists have adopted is sane and valid.

it is interesting that everybody blames Islam for every thing going on in this world but we overlook the atrocity by Israel against the Palestinian , as long as there is this conflict between them will never be peace in the world. The Israel and Palestinian issue is the root of the problem, so if Israel really wants peace ,stop stealing their land and start treating them like human being, when you treat them like animals, they will turn on you like animals

These attacks clearly highlights the stand of islamic terrrorism.As they state that Hndus, Zews and Christians are the our biggest enemy. And country wise they state the biggest enemies are India, Unites States and Israel.
we shoul learn lession fron Isarael how they are countering terrrorism. And our Governmnet seems helpless.

As sad as this event was, but sadder yet as well are the deaths of thousands of innocent Kashmiri muslims at the hands of Indians, as well as the deaths of thousands of Palestinians at the hands of the Israelis.

India and Israel kill a disproportionate number of muslims each year but there is no hue and cry from you all crying here now....why?

Yeah, lets talk about the Pope and Christians who helped annhilate 6 million Jewish men, women and children by roasting them in ovens and by other evil means.

Please, when you point fingers at Islam, three fingers point right back.

I say all three of the decendents of abraham are aggressive, intolerant and violent. To lay the 'blame' on any one is an absurdity. They all three perpetuate this onslaught on human dignaty. The christians contributed to the start of all of this violence by their attacks on islam in the middle ages, and the muslims and jews continue to perpetuate it (gleefully ... i think!!!) by their continued attacks on each other and on christians. none of these religions make any since at all - created by fantisists and perpetuated by more of the same or power obsessed manipulators who are followed by fools. If you want to eliminate 90% of the violence in the world, eliminate all three of these religions, blow up their 'places of worship', burn their books, and put anyone who professes a belief in them in jail. i for one am getting sick of all three.

Have to agree with Rick ; we must resolve the long standing Kashmir and Palestinian issues before we can expect to negotiate around the numerous corners of ' terrorism ' Are the lives of Kashmiris and Palestinians not worth than those of the Indians and the Israelis ? Might cannot always be right!

According to Jewish www.Haaretz.com link it looks like the mastermind is Indian, and news link at www.whatreallyhapped.com suggest that Hindou extremists are the perpetrators.

The Israelis are also responsible for the atrocities that the Sunnis in Iraq are comittting against the Shiites, like the mosque suicide bombing this week. Keep this fact in mind, and repeat it often.

one of you anti-israeli apologists want to explain why the israeli/palestinian conflict justifies the wholesale murder of indian civilians? ...we're waiting...
'because as long as there's israel, there will never be peace'. na - na - na. how stupid do you have to be to believe that?

So.... you are such an idiot, nobody in this blog is saying 'no Israel' what I have been reading is that the Israeli-Palestinian issue should be resolved if the world wants peace. Seems to me that you are against any resolution with the Palestinian,and please do not misread what people are writing and try to start calling every body anti jew

I simply dont understand that where were these people who is criticising Islam without knowing it properly while the Palestines were gunned down like a bird or the Afgan innocent people were bombed brutally?Dont they hear the cry of the innocent child there ?Or i wonder they dont count them as a human for only being a muslim?Funny people always run with emotions rather than logic.

SP4: well Riz, you said it...Nov 30th, 2008 - 19:19:23

...what does some jew, living in India, have to do with Israel or palestine or Cleveland Ohio, USA????

Yet, if the story is correct, some Muslim extremist killed them for just being Jewish. He, or she, did not bother to even ask them if they empathised with the Palestinians, they made the jump that they were Zionists, plain and simple. Tell me, Riz...were they using logic that day, too?

One thing is for certain, Riz: THEY DID hear the cry of their victims. Your question asked, I'd conclude someone certainly DID run with their emotions as opposed to logic. Ponder that, Riz, and be sure to comment.

You are all a bunch of naive idiots if you think that the israeli palestinian problem is the root of the terrorist problem in the world.What a load of hog wash.The terror that is being perpetrated in the world is done by a bunch of muslim fanatics who think that they will earn the reward of 70 virgins for killing,murdering,and maiming innocent people.The muslim people are like a cancer ,they feed off their host countries get all the benefits and then try to destroy their host but god is great and their days are numbered.
