I don't know how some people hate something or someone they don't know
Hating Islam is based on ideas implanted in some non-Muslims. Because if they read the Holy Quran and prophet Muhammad's sayings and biography, they would regret doing and saying things that really hurt Muslims.And I mean by (they) the pope, George Bush,some close-minded Danes who drew cartoons making Prophet Muhammad PEACE BE UPON HIM look like a terrorist, and many others.My message to those who have misconceptions about Islam is read the Holy Quran first before making a judgment based on what you think not on what is real.

Re:Re:Re:War in Lebanon
Hey, balquis?
Are you still around? We know you are in a very dangerous part of the world, and when you talk about being surrounded by war and then go quiet so suddenly and completely, it is very disturbing. If you see this, please post a message and let us know you are okay, will you?
Thanks!
Best wishes,
Mark Sacramento, USA.

Re:Re:Re:War in Lebanon
Don't forget the reality of facts that nobody can't overlook in this sense. All people who are living in arabic country aren't terrorists, for sure! don't be childish.. "Le droit sans épée n'est qu'un mot,la moralité, sans volonté,un songe creux" John LOCK

Re:Re:Re:War in Lebanon
Dear balquis,
Please don't confuse the actions of my government for the interests of individual Americans. I couldn't care less about taking your people's land. I am a citizen of the United States of America, but in this century, have never been more ashamed of my country, never closer to becoming an expatriate.
Also, I think that the image that you get from your news may be distorted, like our news here is always distorted. Americans don’t want land in the Middle East, but our government wants power over oil, and our current government has been terribly aggressive and unethical in pursuing this.
But I'm sure these facts mean little to you. They don't change the fact that your people are under attack; and my country is helping to keep your people fighting. As I say, there is nothing to like about this situation. It will mean little to you to learn that I voted against Bush, that I have never supported him or his policies, and that I am constantly horrified that he is not being impeached. It will bring you little comfort to know that our government is also cheating Americans. The price of gasoline has doubled in the last years, and nobody has done anything about the price-gouging from our own oil companies.
I keep hoping that Americans will wake up and do something, but we are stupid people. Our president makes everything seem very simple, and we would rather believe him and be comfortable than think for ourselves and have to challenge his policies.
I don’t believe that you are a terrorist or that your people are terrorists. I expect that Lebanese and Palestinian people are like us. Most of us (in all three countries) are very good people. There are terrorists in every country, in mine as well as in yours, but where you live, the price of terrorism is terribly high. Like in Palestine, where the home of an entire family is destroyed if the Israelis find one terrorist (or accuse one of terrorism), so it is in Lebanon, that the entire country is made to suffer because of a small number of people. The policies of the Israeli government have mostly been harsh and unjust.
So you are "preaching to the choir" with me. I already agree with you. I wish I could offer you something more helpful and practical than my own commitment to do what is right and to speak the truth. I wish I could help fix the terrible things my government is doing. I can only offer you and your people my best wishes and prayers while I continue to tell the truth here at home with all of my heart.

Re:War in Lebanon
I'm not sure how to answer your question. My immediate reaction is to become sarcastic, and say, "yeah, sure, who doesn't love a good blood bath?"
But I don't think that's the sort of discussion you were looking for.
On the other hand, I can't come up with an intelligent answer to your question. What is there for anyone to like about a war between peoples who have suffered so much and can find no reason to trust one another? What possible hope can we find for peace under such circumstances? It's a terrible thing, and it can only get worse as long as it continues.
I would love to hear what you think of the situation.
