		<description>I guess this quote covers both the &quot;west&quot; and Islam.
&quot;This is a free country. You are free to do as you are told&quot;.
You have leaders, as we have, 

that are telling us what to do. I have decided not to listen to them but to my own inner voice. That voice tells me that we all need to accept each other no matter what 

religion, race, colour, sect or anything else. The only thing I judge is the persons personality. If it is set in its ways and unable to understand other views I want nothing to do 

with that person!
So that you can understand my views. I am a Dane in Canada. I am a non-believer. The Koran makes more sense than the Bible. A Christian friend of 

mine from Lebanon told me that the Koran was an upgrade of the Bible. I have read both. I actually believe him after reading both.
If the Jews would only read the Koran 

they would see the similarities.
I try to live my life as the Koran and the Bible teaches me because their guides are the right way to live. Sorry, but I still don&#039;t believe in 

God.
Still at the same time your beliefs give me strength in my beliefs, or lack of.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the links M.A. Khadra, I will pursue them and see 

what I find.  :)

Did you hear about the serious mosque bombing today in Iraq?  I know the Shiites will be extremely angry.  Do you think there will be a strong reaction 

from Sunnis or will Sunnis generally ignore it?</description>

		<description>dane,

I and all of my 1.4 Billion Muslim brothers and sisters thank you for asking us questions about our 

religion.

Below is link is for an American born Texan, who was born a Christian and a son of a  Christian Minster; He Himself had preached Christianity for 50 years of 

his life; and now converted to Islam. He knows all the old and new testaments cover to cover and is more capable than I am to explain to you in video 

presentations:

1-	What is Islam and why is it misunderstood today?
2-	Why Islam and terrorism don’t ever mix? And how Islam declared war on 

terrorism “suppression and oppression” 1400 years ago in the from of JIHAD.
3-	Women’s wrights in Islam vs. men’s rights and explains the EQUITY 

that Islam has for men and women alike; and how does EQUITY in Islam greatly surpasses the EQUILITY that some women are asking for today? And why 70 % of new 

Muslims are WOMEN?
4-	Islam’s harmony with all other religions.

And much more.

		<description>Questions for M.A. Khadra (or anyone else who cares to take some stabs at it):

why do muslims respond with violence 

and terrorism to what they perceive as &#039;imperialism&#039;?  why this particular form of expression?  people in latin america have probably experienced as much western 

imperialism as anybody in this world has, yet we don&#039;t see them spawning suicide bombers or engaging in other such behavior.  what is it about the muslim world that 

makes them decide this is the way to &#039;protest imperialism&#039;?  I am not just referring to the palestinian issue either.  we see this sort of thing in muslim countries as diverse as 

algeria, nigeria, iran, iraq and indonesia?  why?

I am not simply attacking muslims but I can find no other explanation for this sort of behavior in lieu of others forms of 

protest or resistance than the religion of islam itself.  if you don&#039;t think this is a valid explanation, then help me to understand why so many in the muslim world behave as 

they do and why islam seems to be so frequently cited as the motivation for terrorist acts by those who commit them.</description>

		<description>M.A. Khadra

First, what was false about my statements?

Second, my point is that Muslims are constantly outraged by cartoons 

offensive to their religion but not by cold-blooded murder committed in the name of their religion.  I can only conclude that if this is the way Islam is, it is hardly a moral 

creed.</description>

		<description>Eman, are you 

familiar with disemvowelment?  Noxious posts from known trolls can be intercepted before posting, disemvoweled and their remains displayed as an example to ranters.   



Thus the winsome, good-hearted post &quot;You&#039;re all ill-rational, kill-crazed maniacs!&quot; becomes: &quot;Yr ll ll-rtnl, kll-crzd mncs!&quot;

The meaning of some of the words is 

of course clear; others ambiguous.  In the above example, the writer might be ranting against kill-crazed monks and have spelled it wrong.  (Many of our native trolls have 

rather bad basic English skills.  Sadly, it&#039;s usually their only language.)  

An on-line disemvoweling utility may be found at:
http://novalis.org/cgi/vowel.cgi?

text=next+ya&amp;vowel=vowel

I&#039;ve never kept a blog, but my dog briefly did, just before the 2004 U.S. Presidential Election:
  

http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=Sarasota_Romie 

Poor Romeo got so much hate mail that he gave up and went back to lying under his fichus tree, chasing 

squirrels and terrorizing the mail carrier.  In many ways, Romeo is very wise.  

Cheers.</description>

		<description>Dane,

You clearly keep attacking Islam by making false “statements” against Islam while encapsulating them in 

the form of irrelevant “questions”.

People either ask “questions” or make “statements”</description>

		<description>muslims are at it again with attacking 

christians while hiding behind this cartoon protest.  the difference between the muslim who advocates jihad against infidels and legitimate demonstrators is fading fast.  first 

they kill a priest in turkey and attack churches in lebanon.  this time they murdered 15 people including 3 children and a priest.  i am still awaiting the outrage of the muslim 

world at this sort of crime.  will the muslim world be as angry about this as they are about the cartoons?  or even as angry as they are about abu ghraib?  i doubt it.  muslims 

have so little credibility.

		<description>Great post Eman, I felt the same 

way about the arrogant comments.  I lost hope! One thing I learned from the comments I&#039;ve read on blogs, is how much hatred there&#039;s towards us.  I found it ironic how 

angry westerners were saying all kinds of nonsense while attacking muslim extremists. They need to take a look at themselves before starting to play the blame 

game.

BTW, I have added your article to Bridge The Gap Blog, I hope you don&#039;t mind.
