Hello George,

>SA>the climax of Haj on Tuesday that the West was using the global
>SA>phenomenon of terrorism to scare people away from Islam and discredit
>SA>legitimate Muslim causes.

GP>Oh, right, like the majority of terrorism isn't done by Moslems attempting t
GP>force Islam on the world?

The majority of terrorism is done by Muslims attempting to impose a
particular version of Islam on other Muslims...

>SA>He accused Western countries of hypocrisy in promoting freedom and
>SA>democracy, citing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

GP>Case in point!  Israel has bent over backwards to give up what was rightfull
GP>theirs (and even had the agreement of the Arab chieftans that Israel would g
GP>the 11% of Palestine & the Moslems would get 89% and there'd be
no more seek
GP>to change that ever.)

The Jews do not have an exclusive claim to all of the land of Palestine.
The Jews do not even have an exclusive claim to part of the land of
Palestine.  The Jews do have a legitimate claim to some of the land of
Palestine.  But even that claim, as noted in the Bible, is a shared
claim.

GP>Israel gave up the West Bank (fairly won in a defensive war) and on that day
GP>the Palestinian terrorist groups vowed to step up their reign of evil terror
GP>against women & children until they got ALL of Israel.

Every war in the Middle East since the partition of Palestine has been
started by the Jews.

GP>NOT gonna happen!

Israel might be able to save itself as a nation if it agrees to a
peaceful settlement with the Palestinians.  And that means returning
all of the Gaza Strip and West Bank to the Palestinians, pulling out
all illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank, and also returning
all of the Golan Heights to Syria.  The longer Israel waits, the
worse deal it will get.
