When a handful of Muslims commit violence against Western civilians, the whole of the Muslim world is deemed collectively guilty and the religion of Islam is condemned for promoting violence and opposing progress. When tens of thousands of Muslim and Arab civilians are starved and slaughtered in Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon and Afghanistan by the democratically elected
goverments and armed forces of Western states be it the US, Israel or Nato, these horrific acts of injustice are simply "regrettable" and never seems to reflect negatively on Christianity, Judaism or the West.

Because Muslims in general seem to get more worked up about cartoons they don't like, etc. than say the Shiite vs. Sunni war. After all, the Taliban were created by Sunni Pakistan to limit Shiite Iranian influence in Afghanistan. If some Muslims want to kill each other and westerners off because they can't settle their theological differences, no one can help them. The Israelis that are killed and the folks killed on 9/11 are just collateral damage in the larger conflict between Sunni and Shiite.

I beg your pardon sir, but when some ones religion itself tells its people to kill all that don't adhere to its principles and accept their particular beliefs ,it just doesn't quite fit into the western worlds beliefs, and since when did just a handful of Muslims declare jihad on the western world it appears to me there are millions, , and the Arab and Muslim people who are starving is mostly caused by their own people, and I do agree the Israllies have brought a lot of misery to the Arabic people,but, no where do I see the western world or America killing any Arabs or Muslims except the ones who are responsible for the bombing of our W,T,C,and killing several thousand of our people,even tho I do understand how you feel since America supports Israel in killing the Arabs, but, the American people can not do anything about it just as you can't do any thing about O,B,L, and the Taliban,B,T,W, most Americans do not agree that our military went into Iraq, we were lied to so much we made a ad decision,

well, as an arab I can explain this to you. An arab life has always been "cheap". From ancient times it's been like this. A life of a white man isn't worth a 1000 arab. We get into wars where we outnumber the ennemy but we always lose and still find a way to glorafy the few whites we killed.
Muslim fanatics wanna die as martyrs to deserve heaven! I am a muslim; i want heaven and I don't wanna die for nobody!
Name any war the muslim engaged in adn won. NONE! We lost them all but glory is written for each and each and every one of those wars (besides the 1967 6 days war where we couldn't kill ONE sionist while they crushed 4 Arab nations in 6 days).
Didn't that Palestinian muhammad ad'dorra clip horrify you? It did to all of us. Do you know what the father of the killed child said? "I have many other sons to "sacrifice"!! Do you understand why a muslim's life is cheap?
Do you know how many Iraqis died since the invasion? ... you don't. Do you know how many whites died? Of course 3000. Did anyone bother counting the Iraqis? Even the Iraqis themselves? No. Why is a muslim life cheap? Cause we're too damn many and we're useless. That's why.
Last, I'm proud to be from an 'arab' country who does not affiliate itself to the arab community because they don't freeking get it. Instead of blowing people up, try to get some arabs in the white house or congress like sionists do. Do they have more money than we do? Hell no!
I'm proud to be from a country where headscarf is illegal. I'm proud to be from the only 'arab' country where polygamy is illegal.
Thank God i'm an Arab who's not 'arab' in the head.

I would say more than a handful of muslims have commited violent acts. The world trade center twice, the pentagon, the london bombings, the attack on christians in retaliation to simple harmless drawings depicting mohammed with a bomb on his turban. I see Israel as a victim in some ways. They are not tolerated in the middle east because of their religion are they not? I would guess current conflicts don't affect negatively on christianity is because christianity is not an object of motivation for western troops. The allied troops aren't saying they're declaring a holy war on muslims now are they.

The Palestinians elected Hamas as their government. They are terrorists. Palestinians are our enemy.
Any muslim that does not condemn violence against civilians is part of the problem.
