A historian said during Thomas Jefferson's time abroad the King of the Ottoman Empire said the Koran stated they were instructed to defeat all infidels then too. So the Middle East condition hasn't changed much has it? It is hieracy for a Persian to yield to the Western World, and this has been going on since the Romans collapse. George Bush is a fool.

Hey Mark, I think the first thing we need to do is stop recruiting for them. When we throw our military might around we only incite anger against us in those Muslim countries. I think we have to be successful in Afghanistan and do whatever we can, at this point, to calm the situation in Iraq. At the same time we have to go after Bin Laden and make an example of him. We have to use intelligence and covertly eliminate the Jihadist.
I think that Bush has fallen right into OBL's trap by recklessly throwing our military might around. This has only created more terrorist, all of our intelligence agencies say that is exactly what has happened. We have to stop the bull in a china cabinet approach and be more tactful.
I understand that we're not going to be leaving Iraq for quite some time to come. Hell the Iraqis don't even have an air force anymore. So we will provide air support to them for a long time. I think we need to get our troops out of the cities and secure the Iraqi borders.
We need to take the same approach that we took in Kosovo and Bosnia. Create an Iraqi confederation of three states with a weak central government to distribute the oil revenue to those states. The Kurds already have their own state and they don't tolerate Al-Qaida or any other terrorist group. I'd bet that, with the borders secure, the Shia and Sunnis would follow the lead of the Kurds.
Mark, Iraq has been a huge blunder. It has set us back in the war on terrorism, because it has created more terrorist than ever before. At the same time it has almost destroyed our credibility around the world. You and I can remember when the US was admired around the world for our human rights efforts. We were once the good guys and we have to earn that back.

You can't change them - they are out to change you and the rest of the world. All their talk about wanting to be left in peace is a lie - they want everyone to convert to islam so they can have complete control. Their fundamental beliefs are that if you are not muslim you are their enemy and must die, therefore it is for you to choose - you either change or die as far as they're concerned.
You can't reason with the fanatics because they will not be swayed from their course. Keeping in mind that most muslims are not of the fundamentalist fanatic sort all we can do is stay the course and hope they run out of steam, although that is not likely. In countries where they are in power they have control of the educational system and will just bring up all their children among their beliefs.

You and these Islamic Fundamentalists have a common misunderstanding about Jihad. There are two kinds of Jihad, the Greater Jihad and the Lesser Jihad. The Greater Jihad deals with the battle of Good and Evil within every Muslim. If they truly believed in Islam they would know this, for they are losing the Greater Jihad with their actions. The Lesser Jihad is a defensive battle that can only be declared by a gathering of Muslim Clerics when they feel that Islam itself is being threatened. There are very strict rules when the Lesser Jihad is declared, such as farmers cannot be attacked, anyone surrendering must be shown mercy, and others that I cannot remember right of the top of my head. Islam does not preach hatred and so these terrorists cannot claim to be Muslim. The same might be said for people claiming to be Christian as they are marching off to war. What part of, "Love your enemy as you love yourself", they don't understand continues to elude me.

Zionist Christians are the extra severe, and Zionist administration a large number of the middle east as lots because of the fact something of the worldwide. Zionist are devil worshipers and used occult black magic to regulate maximum of what they do, that's why the U. S., this is Presidents, and all the different worldwide leaders are doing what sounds like insanity in destroying democracy, worldwide governments and our ecosystem. Zionism isn't only some Jewish state; that's some Jewish worldwide-order. Peter Myers because of the fact the Jews are the optimum and maximum cultured human beings on earth, the Jews have a top to subordinate to themselves something of mankind and to be the masters over the entire earth. Rabbi Harry Waton we are able to assert with Nietsche that the Jews are the optimum aristocrats in the worldwide.... The Talmud tells us that the entire worldwide replaced into created only for the sake of the Zaddik; the Zaddick is the non secular aristocrat, the spectacular guy. The Jews fluctuate from all different races and peoples because of the fact of Judaism; Judaism differs from all different religions because of the fact of Jehovah; and Jehovah differs from all different gods. All different gods stay in heaven. yet Jehovah comes down from heaven to proceed to exist this earth and to encompass himself in mankind. Judaism concerns itself only approximately this earth and grants all reward top here in this earth. Judaism is communism, internationalism, the conventional brotherhood of guy, the emancipation of the working class and the human society. that's with those non secular weapons that the Jews will triumph over the worldwide and the human race. The races and the international locations will cheerfully placed up to the non secular potential of Judaism, and all will become Jews. Rabbi Harry Waton

I have no idea...
But one think I know for sure:
- islam used to be a religion for which people didn´t show that much interest
- radical movements in islam were minor
- radical muslim started to appear during and after the Iranian revolution which was the result of the destabilization of a country by western nations and their interests.

First, get educated. Islam is represented differently in every Muslim country, and even within those countries. The fundamentalists are a very very small percentage of Muslims who are giving all the rest of them a bad name. Second, they have to be approached with respect. Anti-Muslim rhetoric only isolates them. Third, if you want them to change, you have to give them an opportunity for a better life. People who resort to fundamentalism are desperate. If I had the power to make any promises, I would promise them that my country would stop interfering with theirs; and in return, they could govern as they chose. Yes, many people are forced into Islam. I think the best solution is TIME. The youth of these countries are not as indoctrinated as you would think. Many have access to the Internet and satellite TV (illegal, but they find ways). They see that the West is perhaps corrupted but not as bad as the mullahs say. But I guarantee you that changes as soon as you drop a bomb in their city and a family member dies.
p.s. not every fundamentalist is a terrorist

First of all let me clearify to you that jihad is not a holy war or fight.....its stands some different meanings. Like fight against invaders, fight the ignorance, struggle to get education, taking care of parents , fulfill the rights of others ect........
Now i think you mean islamic extremists ..........who are doing violence around ! small number but more highlighted.but anyway......the thing is that it is firstly the duty of muslims to reject them ! the more they get educated about their religion , the more would they feel hatred for these extremists !! and this thing has started now !!
http://www.muhajabah.com/otherscondemn.php
You will see that time would change.....when muslims would reject these extremist all over the world and these extremist would know that they can not misguide this community and can not kidnap this religion any more ! .... their power would fad away ! i m hopeful !! this is slow but very effective.....i think these extremist are more harmful for islamic community itself...
And your duty is to hit the right person, Don't generalize the acts of few morons for the whole community.....things are mush different from what the world know !
Have a good day !

In terms of talking, if you really want to know, tell them we will give them Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Israel and the rest of the Middle East to do with as they want.
Then tell them we will nuke every single Muslim holy site and capital city if they move even 1 inch over their new borders.
Generally speaking, I think that is the only conversation that would get anywhere with them.

the truth is all religions were spread by violence. christianity had slavery and the crusades. open communication and understanding is needed mutually between all humans. and indonesia in modern day is the only country to convert to islam. and that was not done by force. arab traders went their to trade their goods and now 90% of indonesia is muslim. like i said open your mind. dont think narrow. and for the idiot who think understanding is no good. you are fools because thats what moses, jesus and muhammad (peace be upon them) would do!!. and why is that we talk to gangs should we not open every door and start killing these so called urban terrorists.
