Apparently it is easier to convert to Islam than to convert out! Read... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7250532.stmIMHO, Islamic values seem to be hell bent on taking over the rest of the world, by force if not by conversion. -Terry |

They are also prodigious breeders, as we have seen in Kosovo.

This was a hot topic when I was in Egypt in January; however, the fact of the matter is that Egypt has much more pressing issues to focus its resources on than this, like access to clean water, dealing with the unemployment, constant threat of terrorism, and the overflowing problem in Gaza.

I sure hope Egypt gets Gaza as a 'gift'. Then they can completely wall them off with the only access by sea and sell them all the electricity, oil, and other goods until they wake up to themselves and start to produce their own economy.  -Terry |

I find it hard to believe Egypt would be worse than Israel in this area. |

Either way Islam is certainly not a force for good within greater Palestine

Nor is Zionist Judaism. Both sides feel that they have a religious birthright to the same land. Both are wrong. |

Well if we want to talk bible...
Biblical history says that the Jews invaded Palestine (because "God" told them too). They killed the men over 14 and took the women as concubines. Not only is the ancient Jewish claim to the land immoral but it confirms that the ethnic Palestinians were there "first".

"IHMO" - I note from this and your later posts that you you have much to be humble about. |

From what I have gathered so far you believe that all of Israel should be given to Zionist Jews, all Muslims want to violently take over the rest of the world, and that morality should have no bearing on political decisions... |

Myths? .. or history. You tell me. I am not 'Christian' in the traditional sense. But the closest one can come to the history of the region are the archeological digs and the Old Testament (parts of anyway, without the clutter) and the Dead Sea scrolls.
