sorry but >>57 is correct. Hezbolla doesn't attack the US and only talks shit about us whenever we interfere with their war against israel. They are not terrorists in the classic sense and thats why Al-Qaeda is constantly beefing with them (that and that they are shia while A-Q is sunni). Hezbolla actually uses much of there economic resources to provide civil services that the Lebanese government is unable to provide (IE schools, hospitals, and soup kitchens). This is why most of Europe doesn't consider them terrorists. We do because we have this stupid entanlgement iwth israel (which is stupid when you consider that they beat the shit out of kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Syria IN SIX DAYS). As for the Palestinians, it's a mixed bag. On the one hand, Hammas has a sizable wing of apeshit genocidal maniacs. On the other hand, israel has a habbit of pulling some dumb shit. Some dumbfuck fundy from hammas attacks an israeli military installation, the next day, the israeli military sent AN ENTIRE FUCKING TANK BATALION rolling into the Suburbs. not Mossad to take out Hammas gunmen. No! They like to do what they did in Lebanon over Hezbollas last attempt at a prisoner swap. Punish the civilians for the actions of the terrorists. If china had invaded the states and pulled shit like that on us, you would be apeshit anti chinese too.
As for the rest of the discussion, Islam is not the problem. Organized religion is easily corrupted and is newer than christianity. their religion is about as old as christianity was at the time of the 2 inquisitions, so this all seems to make sense. Traditionally, Islam was relatively peaceful and historically didnt do the OMGWTF KILL THE INFIDELS thing. Even in the crusades, while Richard the Lionheart and other Christians routinely tortured and executed captured muslims, Saladin forbade that treatment of captured knights and had them treated like normal non muslim citizens. They were not to be tortured or killed and were fed. It is only until after world war 2 that muslims became radical. Go figure, thats about the same time that Israel was formed out of a peice of land that belonged to Muslim herders. Radical islam isn't even as common as the media makes out. Much of central and northern africa is muslim. With the exception of the Janjaweed militia in Sudan, most of africa's muslims are not american killing, jew hating fundies. They are rural communities that live under sharia law and down bother most people. They tolerate non muslims provided they pay their tax and do not advocate blowing up busses. This is largely true of egypt too (which is technically part of africa.) also, most muslims in kuwait and most Persian Gulf countries dont have beef with us. Some of them, like the United Arab Emirites and Saudi, are our allies and fundimentalist islam is banned. Hell, Dubai (which is in UAE) tolerates Michael Jackson. Do you think OSama bin Laden would tolerate a boy fucker? Radical Islam would call for jackson to be stoned to death. clearly there are many non fundy muslims in the world. They are your silent minority.
