Well I did not really have any doubt about it, but if I had, your last post would have removed it.
When others drank at the fountain of wisdom, you decided to gargle.
Some even claim that your existence proves evolution can be reversed.
But the giveaway was when they put the warning signs in your home;
"Beware, objects in mirror are stupider than they appear"

I guess if someone sitting in luxury on the other side of the world has so much trouble approaching the issue rationally it is no wonder the Israelis and Palestinians can't sort it out.

Abu - Quote:
On the contrary, we know that in the end we will have victory, and the Zionists know that too


Where have I read that sentiment before ?? was it, the koran ?


Acid - yes, you have fairly given all major beliefs equitable treatment.
Very similarily to Mozzaok.

Quote:
you do come across as someone who condones violence on one side as justified


Again, It doesn't mean much coming from someone who just tried to justify and explain away the callous gunning down of a little school girl on her way to school by soldiers with high powered rifles.

You've openly shown that you justify violence against innocent little children, I've done no such thing. About the best you've been able to say is "You're someone who comes across as.." or "You appear to..", statements that are about as empty as the rest of your arguments.

Quote:
Your position relies totally on the old which came first argument, the chicken or the egg? You categorically refute the possibility that it is an unsolvable problem, and justify your violence because you know for sure that the chicken came first


It doesn't rely on that whatsoever, in fact that's the argument of the Zionists, that they were there 2000 years ago, so they have a right to it now. The way I see it is that the Palestinians are there, and have been for a very long time, Jews were less than 2% when the Zionist project began (with the writing of Hertzl's book) and from that time until now has been a struggle. You cannot detach this struggle from the conditions in which it originated. This is a deception often used by the Western media, that this struggle only began in thew 1980's, when Palestinian suicide bombers began blowing up innocent Israeli civilians in cafes. Such a limited field of view is dishonest. The struggle began at the turn of the 20th. century with the beginning of the Zionist movement around the ideas propounded by Hertzl, and has continued till this day. It's been one continual struggle, and anyone who sincerely wishes to look into this struggle, find it's causes and present a solution needs to look at it from day one until today and see it in the full perspective. You can't just look at the last 5 minutes of the struggle and come to the conclusions we see thrown around so easily.

Quote:
Until you get to this basic starting point, there is no hope of ever working toward a peaceful outcome, and you can continue with your blame game


On the contrary, we know that in the end we will have victory, and the Zionists know that too. That is why they seek to eradicate the Palestinians from the face of the earth. That is why they engage in deportation programs and in collective punishments and in all the other brutal means they use. They know they are in our land, and if you read the quotes of earliest Zionist writers you'll see they clearly mentioned this and stated they must remove us, because no people would accept becoming second class citizens in their own country. They said this long before any such thing as a suicide bomber or an intifada had even been dreamed up.

The Zionist state is like another  kind of Western installation in the Middle East, an oil rig, sitting in the middle of the ocean.Yes it manages to stay above the waves for the time being, and whilst it continues to be maintained externally, but once that maintenance is withdrawn, it will float away with the force of the waves. Do you think the West can sustain Israel indefinitely? I don't.

Quote:
They are all evil oppressors who slaughter innocents for sport, and we are all noble martyrs dying for a just cause.


Well, if you really looked at it objectively, you might come to the same conclusion. When you see wealthy Jews leaving good homes in the USA to go and make "aliyah" to a settlement in occupied Palestine, to take the home of a Palestinian and force him and his family into a refugee camp, then the two sides you spoke of will emerge. One side is definitely doing it out of leisure and without any force against them, whilst the other side is merely doing it to keep their heads above water.



Well if you do not like the prevarication Abu, I will stop giving you the benefit of the doubt and describe you as delusional Islamist supremicist, with racist tendencies, and an intellect which barely surpasses your hat size, or in laymens terms, you are about as sharp as a bowling ball.

So how is that?
Do you like those words, or are they too empty for you?

It is noteworthy how easily you drop your false pretence of being moderate and openly champion that the Israelis being swept away by the tide of Islamic fundamentalism is not only just, but inevitable.

We assume you take this deluded view from your belief that god is on your side.
Perhaps you may enquire of him why he allows your team to keep losing, if he is really on your side, that would seem a reasonable enquiry.


The saddest thing is that religion should be a way for people to enrich their personal spirituality, but sickos like you pervert it into a war mongering bloodsport, where you actually believe that god will aid you in slaughtering those you do not like, you are unworthy of even speaking about god when your intentions are so unholy.

Excellent posting Mozzaok.
Very just, anyone would have merited the same response.


With a "normal" person, yes, walk away.  With some people, walking away means you lose, they win.
Some people will NOT give in. "...we know that in the end we will have victory..."



Glad I did not offer a birch branch !!!!!!!!!!!

I assume you do so because you're principled people, not because I can pretend to be all peace-loving and make compromises.


Whatever principles I have is directed at humanity wholly and not to any race or religion. I don't empathise with the Palestinians because they are Palestinians. I empathise with them because of their plight and that they have a right to live their life in peace free from interference. However, that quickly empathy diminishes if they choose to espouse the same radicalism, and extreme methods of their aggressors (however they may justifiy it). In truth they become no better than their aggressors and deserves the same scorn.

....either they're principled people to begin with and would be disgusted by the utter lack of disrespect for human life here, or they'd be unprincipled and have the utter lack of disrespect for human life themselves.


I don't think that its as clear cut and simple as you've put it. For instance I don't believe that FD and Mozza are heartless or uncaring about the loss of a young innocent girl's life. I don't think that they are souless (well, maybe mozz might be cause he appears to be an athiest  Wink )

However, let's not confuse this issue of the girl with their stance on the Palestinian situation or on radical Islam. I see their argument in the context of the wider issue of Muslim clerics inciting hatred within children and encouraging them to jihad as explosive hosts. Thereby, they attempt to link that with the uproar surrounding the girl's life to illustrate the apparent disproportionate value Muslims places on a child's life. Ie: what is the value of a child's life who is raised in hate and is martyred in a suicide bombing? What is the value of an innocent child's life killed by said suicide bomb? What is the value of the a child's life killed indiscrimately by a soldier? What value is a child's life torn to schread by cluster bombs? I've said to Mozz and I'll say it to you, its a two way street.

FD and Mozz (and Sprint) appear to attribute such attrocities to Islam which is unfortunate and I believe wrong. Religion and religious beliefs is pure. However, it the faithful that distorts and corrupts the interpretation. This is true with Christians as with Muslims.

I'll refer you again to what Malcolm X (may God be pleased with him) said:

Quote:
There's nothing in our book, the Quran -- you call it "Ko-ran" -- that teaches us to suffer peacefully. Our religion teaches us to be intelligent. Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery. That's a good religion. In fact, that's that old-time religion. That's the one that Ma and Pa used to talk about: an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth, and a head for a head, and a life for a life: That's a good religion. And doesn't nobody resent that kind of religion being taught but a wolf, who intends to make you his meal.


this from a "moderate" teacher folks.


So much for turning the other cheek.
Not when you follow a paedophillic warlord.


You just burnt not only your olive branch but the whole orchard down Sprint. Firgured you'd do as much because it was obvious from the beginning that you were being fake and not sincere. You're never sincere in having fruitful and sincere interfaith dialogue.

The United Nations recognises the Palestinians and anyone else's right to resist the occupation of their land with violence provided that soldiers are the targets and not civilians.

You however believe Muslims are subhuman and have no right to defend themselves against oppression. So let's make a comparison Sprint, do you support the US attacking Al-Qaeda after 9/11, Do you support the US attacking the Taliban? Do you support the War in Iraq? All of your posts in other threads lead to a yes, if so in the case of Al-Qaeda it means you support the right for self defence. If you said yes to fighting the Taliban then you believe it's ok to go and fight the Taliban because they didn't give bin Laden up, if you answered yes to attacking Iraq, removing Saddam and occupying the land it means that you believe it's ok to invade a sovereign state, take it's leader out of power and occupy the land.

If you answered yes to any of the questions there then it means that you're not only a hypocrite, but you believe that Muslims are subhuman and don't have the same rights to self defence that you do. Which makes sense considering your a Christian fanatic.

malik - no, I don't think muslims are subhuman.
Got no idea why you have such an inferiority view of yourselves.
Also can't see yoour line of logic.
Feel free to start other specific threads.



Acid - there are very just reasons to attribute terrorism to islam.
many of the well educated clerics espouse it, it is in the koran, it has been followed by many islamic countries for decades, those that do it are proud muslims who know the koran well and quote it to support their actions.

Know any suicide bombing athiests ? buddhists ? christians ?
pagans? wiccans ?

See mozzaok - if you weren't a cowardly infidel you too could be breeding up the next batch of martyrs, training them up, getting them in street marches all "dressed up"  in their "traditional" clothing.


Three cheers for all us cowardly infidels !!

Hip Hip


It goes to show that if Australia was attacked, invaded and occupied by a brutal oppressor that both of you would not be man enough to resist it. It shows that you're cowards who wouldn't even die protecting those you love from oppression. You could never understand the Palestinians because you'd never know what it's like to not only be oppressed, but be willing to fight and die in the pursuit of freedom from that oppression, to be willing to give your life up in combat so that in the future God Willing others may live in peace.

The thing I respect about the USA is that the founding fathers and those men at the time of the War of Independence stood up and said 'NO MORE!' to British tyranny. They fought and died to free their land from such oppression. It's like my respect for those brave men at the Eureka stockade who stood up and said 'NO MORE!' to oppressive taxes and license fees and fought and died to create change for the better.

It's not about being an infidel at all, if you look over history people have fought and died, giving up their lives in search of justice and freedom from oppression. You however fall simply into the category of cowards.. No matter what religion, even no religion there are always the majority of cowards like yourself who aren't prepared to stand up for what's right and fight and die for it if necessary.

It's people like you cowards and would never comprehend what it's like to love your fellow man and your land so much, and to be willing to give all they have to make the lives of others better including giving up their lives to acheive it.

Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are people who want crops without ploughing the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning; they want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand; it never has and it never will.
Frederick Douglass


Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you're a man, you take it.

You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.

You have an inferiority view of us, not me. I'm a proud Muslim with dignity. You however are a coward.. Go back and answer my questions.

The Tamil Tigers are hindus, they do suicide bombing.

The Kamakazi's were Buddhists, they slammed their planes into American Ships in WW2

The many murder suicides in the US prove that Christians and athiests are capable of it too.

You seem to be implying that you have some bond to palestine, and that you would be prepared to die for it.
If that is the case, then the obvious question is why the heck are you here in a peaceful western country, trying to impose your ridiculous beliefs and cultural anomalies on a people who definitely do not want them, when you could be over there, martyring yourself for Allah.

Don't forget, he has virgins!!

Now if you are not man enough to make the supreme sacrifice to get to the Islamic whorehouse in the sky, may I ask where you would stand if australia was invaded, would you fight to defend australia, with any of the passion you implore others to fight for palestine?

I would fight and die to protect Australia from a brutal oppressor anyday. This is my country and I love it. I'd encourage my children to do the same. It's a shame we have cowards like you who wouldn't fight and die to protect this country.
