I have done many searches on both sides of the issues and they both seemed kinda biased. I would like to know what normal people think and not the news people.

Ignorance begets ignorance.
Nowhere was this more true than the *if one innocent non-briton person has to die...* ethos exhibited by Britons after the brutal slaying of Jean Charles de Menezes.
Were any of the last batch of terrorists Britons?
No.
Does that mean Britons do not practice terrorism?
No.
Virgin.
FHM.
Countless other corporate culturally imperialistic demagogues who mercilessly shove their useless crap in addition to their way of life down everyone's throat.
Yes, many of the 7/7 bombers were English, born and bred.
The problem is not the cult of islam.
Nor is the problem the cult of christ.
The problem is the idiots who always NEED to have an ultimate evil to act as the zoroastrian couterpart to their sorrowful sufferer of good.
See-England, America, Hitler, Mussolini, Maggie Thatcher, Both Bushes, Tony up-george's-bum Blair, Winston (superracist) Churchill, and countless others.

The New York Times carries a very grim story about Iraq on the front page today, complete with statistics on roadside bombings and blind quotes from senior Defense Department officials and military affairs experts. From start to finish the story conjures up the idea that Iraq is an absolute lost cause.

Everyone knows that neither of these two groups will fight, disarm, nor expel Hezbollah from Southern Lebanon. What is the point of this whole recent conflict? Nothing has been solved at all. As long as there is a group committed to the destruction of Israel on the edge of Israel’s boarder their will be conflict. It may be months to years but this is going to really blow up again, and maybe next time a whole lot worse.

Do Moslems have the right to Israel or do Jews? Did Hezbollah start the war or Israel?

He looks closer to her than her father does. Think about that for a second. Maybe that's why they kept thinking the DNA was from the brother, because it indicated it was from a blood relative.

Just conjecture, what do you think?

Do the terrorists remind you of the KKK with their heads covered and hatred for people without any consideration of that person or do you think the United States and other western democracies have fueled their anger and they are freedom fighters?

I read in the L.A. Times this week that half of the population of the United States believes humans were created 10,000 years ago along with everything else, contrary to what current science suggests. As an informal poll, do you believe in creationism or evolution? (Those fence-riders who go somewhere in between may voice an opinion, but be on notice that your vote won't count.)

Follow up question: does this statistic sound accurate to you?

Many times no Muslim had committed a crime and yet the blame is put on a Muslim and then all Muslims and Islam is held responsible for that crime.
On the other hand Muslims do not hold all Jews and all Christians responsible for the crimes they did not commit and for the crimes committed by individuals
For exmaple in Feb 1993, Josie Hadas a Moosad agent carried out a bomb blast in World Trade Center. CNN showed her apartment having bomb material and drawings. But she is allowed off the hook and instead her innocent driver Slameh whom she hired and ordered to rent a Ryder van is punished. Poor guy was told that the van was stolen andhe was busy in reporting theft to police and got arrested. He is still behind the bars. His lawyer who was given by the state described a verdict against him as th worst massacre of justice in the history of uSA.
Why the real terrorists are defaming Islam? They must be afraid of it and they perhaps know that Islam is the only force which can stop them

What do you guys think about this guy that confessed to killing JonBenet Ramsey? I thought it was funny that he said that the day he killed her, he picked her up from school......the kid died the day after Christmas. I know schools have changed since I was a kid, but who the heck has school the day after Christmas? I'm not sure if I believe him. He's weird, no doubt, but I don't know if he is a killer....at least, I don't think he killed HER....thoughts?

jon was the killer; at the time of the murder he was so disgusted with himself that he created a completely different personality to deal with it(or he had split personality to begin with); this explains that her death was an accident because the 'evil' jon killed her; and also explains that he was there at the time, since he never says i killed her; before, it was uncertain whether he was real or not, but the initials of SBTC on the ransom note and on a yearbook from his high school class mate is too much of a coincidence: what do you guys think?
