Interesting post GB. I have a couple of thoughts to add. Saddam was a brutal dictator, and he deserves what happened to him. Foreign occupation, however, will not work as it was historically proven not to be helpful. I don't have a complete prescription right now. But part of the solution is democra...

There you go again Choco. I lived many years in the middle east, and have merely heard that such things as child marriages were happening in some villages in the past. I'm letting you know that these bad cultural habbits have dissappeared to the most extent. The first step is to acknowledge that the...

I don't think so. I know exactly what's in my backyard.

You have to be OK with the fact that other societies have shortcomings too.

And did I ever say I wasn't aware of those things? No I did not! So leave it and get back to the point in hand. Chocoholic, I don't understand what you're talking about, but I have to tell you this. I'm not anti-western. In my posts, I have praised many aspects of the western society. I have also b...

Kanelli, Yes, this is horrible, and I agree with you that nothing justifies these acts of terror. We need to address 3 issues simultaneously: 1) fighting terrorism 2) fighting the stereotypical image terrorism causes for Muslims. When you mentioned possible targets, you said "some jewish neighb...

For a start your poll is biased and so is your opinion. Biased opinions come actually from CNN and similar sources of media. Now, a bunch of soldiers enter a house and kill elderly, children and toddlers with granades and bullets. They repeat the same with 3 houses. What else do we need to see to c...

Acebravo wrote:Heh, she's biased herself can't you see that?

I don't know her personally, but if the only thing she can say about the Haditha massacre is that the poll and the opinion are biased, then she is biased ...big time.

Acebravo, i have deleted your post where i feel you were rude and offensive and personal to another forumer. Post and be contraversial by all means, but leave out the personals please. Acebravo was totally correct. We try hard to be reasonable. The only thing we find is arrogance and stupidity. The...

Arniegang, Thanks for the lesson. Here's a lesson for you. "Your" arrogance is the reason for all this. To mention a few examples: 1) When the Haditha massacre is mentioned, the only thing Chocoholic gets to say is "the poll and the opinion are biased". Remember that these killin...

Thanks MaaaD. Same here. I was also impressed with your note on the comparison between Canadian and American governments with regards to fighting terrorism.

I say it again. I double dare arniegang to clearly mention in his next post what he likes about the middle-eastern/Islamic culture, and what he dislikes about western culture/policy.

Show that you have some respect!!!

Jamal (or like the Cairo people call him, Gamal) Abdellnasser had great intentions. He is definitely one of a kind. However, I don't think he's the one we need. If this is possible, I would make a motion for Omar Ibn Al-Khattab.

Where is arnie?

I'm not saying that I agree with this statement, but .....WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA

Who was the first person on this earth? Adam (PBUM). Basically we all are cousins and relatives . We shuld create harmony , peace and affection instead of fire speeching . Those who think that man evolved from monkeys might disagree with that :) The argument, however, would still hold: all monkeys ...

Thanks Liban and Lionheart (shocks falls over faint), but I think you're right. Having Peacekeepers from other Muslim countries would command alot more respect and certainly ease the situtation. But still I don't understand why these countries are unwilling to get involved, it's very sad. MS, with ...

Chocoholic wrote:Mafi arabi habibi.

This suggests a Gulf accent

The Egyptians would say "mafeesh arabi ya habibi"

As you can see, habibi is universal, and, I agree, you're pretty much set by knowing it

Also, I don't think Liban has changed in terms of his opinions/values. Obviously, you got to know each other more, and even see each other. If people know each other more, they can be more tolerant. Politics is only a small facet of our lives - it's only the title of this forum. I never met Choco.....

I'm still waiting for your reply, Lib ......

I agree that Musharaf is trying to play a game. Given the extra-ordinary pressure that is excercised on his shoulders, the game is very difficult, however. So he has to strike the impossible balance between staying in power, avoiding the anger of his people, and avoiding the anger of the US. The sec...

Finally, we hear that Zarqawi is killed. http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/06/08/iraq.al.zarqawi/index.html http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/036F8D00-00D5-4FCA-A378-027C9E4BA23E.htm Was he undermining Coalition forces in their efforts to build Iraq, or was he undermining legitimate Iraqi res...

That's why he was undermining, and negatively affecting the reputation of legitimate Iraqi resistance!

Just because withdrawing tomorrow would probably lead to a bigger mess, does not mean that the allied forces are not the original cause for this mess. Needless to say that they came based on fake arguments in the first place. Withdrawing tomorrow might not be the solution. Given the mess that has be...

May God have mercy on all of us, Amen.

did Hamas replace the PLO ??

Q: what is the PLO?????
A: nothin!!!!!!!

great answer MaaaD.

HP, first of all your language is unacceptable. Islam didn't teach us to distinguish between arabs and non-arabs. Second, the arab countries have the power it takes to discipline Israel. Egypt alone has, let alone a combination of countries. It's not a matter of power, it is a matter of the leaders'...
