The numbers speak for themselves. In 2010, Israel exported $7.2 billion worth of military hardware making it the fourth largest arms exporter in the world - Astonishing for such a small country. Combine this with all the 'counter-terrorism' initiatives that the country offers and it doesn't take...

Lets be honest, there's no such thing as a peace process anymore, there may have been at one point but those days are long gone. The whole thing has become a sham and its aim now is nothing more than a 'process' of prolonging any sort of a viable solution. Peace is not in the interests of the...

The Arab world clearly gives a shit to be frank, even the likes of Saudi Arabia... Below is an excerpt from a Washington Post article written by prince Turki Al-Faisal, the intelligence chief of Saudi. "There will be disastrous consequences for US-Saudi relations if the United States vetoes...

I'm sorry but What the heck do you expect me to say?? Do you want me to sit here and say stuff like ''I totally condemn what they did, blah blah blah'', I'm sure you've heard it all before and me saying it again will not make an ounce of difference. Its about time you got yourself off your...

Or it could be because you don't really know anything yourself. Harris has added nothing new to the conversation, he's just recirculating the same old crap over and over again. Obviously portraying women like whores and sexual commodities is so superior. Facts are 70% of people who choose...

Mate with all due respect, all you seem to do is post or regurgitate other peoples oppinions. If I were take time to refute one, all you would do is go onto another, its nt worth wasting my time on. If you really have studied it and came to that conclusion, fair enough, but because you can't see...

Saliph, I would like to say to you that there are always two sides to an argument, if you can take the time out to listen to the anti-Islamic side, why don't you take the time to listen to some Islamic scholars, maybe even debates between Muslim and non muslims. I think it is quite clear that...

Also regarding ''On almost every page, the Koran instructs observant Muslims to despise nonbelievers. On almost every page, it prepares the ground for religious conflict. Anyone who can read passages like those quoted above and still not see a link between Muslim faith and Muslim violence...

Each verse obviously has its own historical context. Even so, none of those verses had anything to do with going and slaughtering innocents, which Sam Harris etc are trying to put across. They merely mention the punishments that await the non muslims in the next life (which you should have no...

At the end of the day, it all depends on the scholar you choose to follow. The debate between whether 'offensive' war is right or wrong goes back a long way and I think you will agree with me that the overwhelming majority of Muslims just want to live in peace and be left alone. Saying that, the...

Firstly the Islamic version of Jihad and martyrdom are COMPLETELY different to what you seem to think. The word martyr is used in all cultures, it basically means 'hero'. Jihad has many meanings, its most common meaning is struggle, a bit more information below. What is Jihad? The word...

It obviously depends on your definition of over the line but as a start I find the following two quotes particularly distasteful and over the top. From wikiquotes; ''Islam, more than any other religion human beings have devised, has all the makings of a thoroughgoing cult of death''...

I recently read a report about the Muslim baiting that occurs in the US and its funders. You can see the report in the link below: Fear, Inc.: The Roots of the Islamophobia Network in America Aljazeera report on it: Who funds Muslim-baiting in the US? - Opinion - Al Jazeera English...

The way I see it is that Muslim countries have a lot of political problems that manifes themselves in various ways, religious violence being one of them. Having been brought up in one of the most remote and conservative parts of Pakistan, I have personally experienced the sort of things that...

Like I said, I hadn't read the whole and maybe you didn't but I certainally picked up a hint of 'Muslim problem' in his posts which were basically just a regurgitation of this post by Sam Harris: The Blog : Christian Terrorism and Islamophobia : Sam Harris He clearly resents the fact that...
