And the link between the cartoons and the US/Isreal is that they were behind it or should I say American jews were behind it.

Virtually every Muslim country in the Middle East is still legally in a "State of War" against Israel. They have repeatedly attacked Israel, in an attempt to exterminate the Jews and eliminate Israel from the face of the earth.
Muslim Clerics in Britain, Germany, Holland, France and other countries have encouraged their "flock" to attack the US and Israel., as well as many other western countries.
Muslim chaplains to prisoners have been caught smuggling in explosives, and other contraband to Muslim prisoners.
So, how is warning about such things in any way an attack against Muslims?
Lets face reality, many Muslims would dearly love to so ee all Jews in the world killed. They call for this in their houses of prayer.
And ONLY a radical Muslim, or a Jew hater would object to Israel being vigilant against such hatred.
As to Jimmy Carter, he loves the Palestinians and will say anything that he possibly can to injure Israel. He has been paid hundreds of thousands of dollars by the Palestinians.
And he has no knowledge, none at all, as to how many nukes Israel may (or may not) have.

1. Israel is a stable country (for the most part) and the nuclear weapons it has will stay there.
2. Most Muslim countries are run by a few very powerful families that control all the wealth. The poverty of the citizens is appalling, and the very wealthy do not want to remind the citizens of the huge gap between the rich and the poor. The wealthy families then support fanatics who blame Israel and the United States on the problems instead of the citizens asking why the royals and nobles get the whole pie.
3. The poverty needs to be addressed, and until it is there will be many young teens volunteering to be suicide bombers.
4. The US and Israel are not angels in this as the US does support Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, which has one of the biggest rich/poor gaps in the world. Israel also blindly throws missiles to avenge the attacks that hit earlier, and then the other side fights back, and then Israel lobs more missiles etc. This has to stop, but neither side seems willing. More innocents on both sides are the ones killed and maimed.
To blame one side totally is illogical at best. There is plenty of blame for both US, Israel, and the Arab world. It is time to address the real issue, and that is poverty. This is what the three religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam are supposed to do).

S&F for the great thread.
The main issue is that people are being taught a 'skewed' version of history & beliefs regardless of which side they are from. The American's (West) have their own agenda, whilst the East is being taught the anti-western propaganda.
Also, I agree with Karl12 in the sense that a lot of 'fundementalist thinking' in the Muslim camp is from the Wahabis - the sad thing is though, the rest of the muslim world does not realise that the hate mongering is coming from the wahabi ideology itself otherwise a vast majority of it would be rejected as from I understand, this particular brand of islam is not encouraged in the mainstream.
The main concern is that there are numerous parallels between nazi pre-war germany and the event's we see today. I tend to agree with you and think it's only a matter of time before we have severe restrictions in place for certain groups. afterall it makes sense if a country is at war, the enemy populace living within one's own borders needs to be 'controlled'.
I just hope that both sides of the divide see sense before things escalate out of control taking innocent lives with it.

Hesporonis, if you do your homework you will find the link, the trails are there you just have to follow them. But you have not commented on Pipes hatred of Muslims or his echoing of what the Nazis said about the Jews.
There is a movement to smear Muslims for the sole purpose of war against them. if we won't get involved Israel will do whatever it takes to make sure we do. If that means killing people even their own they will do it.
Dont't you find it strange that the nations with all the power and the weapons are telling us to be affraid about people with neither. That is exactly what the Germans did to the Jews and once again history is now repeating itself.
Some Muslims resort to terrorism as that is there ony offensive means to deal with tyrants and despot nations. Its the same for any oppressed people. For all the diatribe you hear about Muslim fanatics you are not told the truth that most of them are just like us. That is they want to live in peace but there can be no peace whilst others wage war upon them.
