  1. Those nut jobs who are trying forcefully converting people to Islam know nothing about Islam. If they did they will not be trying to force anyone to convert. To join Islam you have to be convinced and believe in it, saying you are a Muslim does not make you one, like those uneducated dump ass’s who are trying to decrease the name of Islam by their behavior. and Yes I a Muslim

  2. Whenever Muslims are discriminated against, the press and society call it "injustice." When Christians are slaughtered in the Middle East and are persecuted for being non-Muslims, the news media and the larger society shrugs as it nothing has happened. I don't condone the ill-treatment of Muslims anywhere but in the same vein I and others must protest against this evil treatment rendered to Christians in most Arab nations and the vile nature of intolerance in the Middle East against anyone who is not a Muslim.

    Even though some Arab leaders deny that the Holocaust never took place, it did, and I pray that evil of that magnitude will never ever resurface in the world again.

  3. Intolerance comes in many different ways against all types of people all over the world. You got christens killing Muslim, Jewish killing Muslims, and Muslims killing Christens and everyone is killing each other. All of this is done in the name of god and country, but the more you think about it, all you see is a mob of ignorant, intolerant an educated people damaging the name of those religions, or countries fighting each other for a land or special interest ( power and money). I love the country that I was born in which is Palestine and I love the country that I live now which is the US is, I consider both as my home land. I have friends who are Jewish christens and some who don’t belong to any. Put all the special interest aside and all you see are people who would be happy living there life next to each other. I know I sound like some poor sap but I only speak from my own personal experience of living in Islamic, christen and Jewish countries. Islam does not force anyone to join or follow it, only people with misguided beliefs do. You teach Islam to whoever would listen and interested thats all it is

  5. This problem has a solution. First, identify the check points that are not Iraqi Police/ Military. Confirm the so called anti-christian or religeous terrorist, extortionist, or just plain thugs check points. Send forces around their flanks, close off the retreating escape routes, and send a heavy convoy of armed men towards the check point. At the first sign of withdrawl, or movement, catchem in a cross fire. Use air elements if availiable, with no withdrawl route possible there will be no surrender, no truce, only sustained fire until dead, dead, dead! Do this as many times in a short period as possible. Change tactics after a few days.You will be sending Allah a few more grape eating idiots. PS I have lived in Islamic countries, and have found Muslims to be respectfull human beings. It is only the morons with-in their midst, that casts an evil shadow. In the end it must be Muslims themselves that must rid their religeon of such idiots.
