the confusion comes from not knowing what Jews means, whether its a race or religion, the US Supreme Court ruled in 1980 that Jews are a race, and some other groups say Jews are a race, like those jewish who converted to Islam: http://www.jews-for-allah.com/ a race is to share some genetics, and not all Jews share the same genetic, some are Jews by converting to Judaism, whether this or that, the term is often been used to cover the Israeli crimes and silence criticism against Israel for its crimes against humanity, in which Israel been found guilty by many humanitarian organizations. some ex-zionists describe these crimes, and even describe how they use the term antisemitism to silence criticism, like Jack Bernstein who is a Jew and been assassinated by Mossad: source
Bringing us back on point... How can the Islamists expect to conquer the entire civilized world when they can't even manage to destroy the Jews first!
If you look at the economic data across the entire membership of the OIC (Organization of Islamic Countries), you see that Islamic nations tend to be very poor. Even many oil "rich" nations Islamic countries somehow manage to be poor. Saudi Arabia has a per-capita GDP of only $20,700; Iran has one of only $12,300. Compare that with the per capita GDP of the U.S. ($46,000) or the United Kingdom ($35,300). The economic data does appear to show that totalitarianism leads to economic decline, while liberty leads to economic growth.
i agree with you on this. they need to open up their govt by the way i like your smiley a lot better than the lizard thing
I think the lizard thing scares a lot of the CT people around here. They think it represents the lizard people.
Alot of middle eastern countries are forcast to take over the west in the next 50 or so years, countries such as Qatar, UAE, Kuwait and others are going to be part of the shift of power and change as the tide moves towards the east, like we are seeing with China and Russia growing like jack and the beanstalk.
"Forecast" by whom? China has a per capita GDP of $5,300 and Russia's is $14,600. They have a lot of way to go to catch up, and they don't have the political or economic systems to support that progress. Sorry kid, but power isn't shifting back towards the 7th century model of Islamic caliphates. Dream on.
We all should have freedom of religion regardless of where we live, I don't think I would be willing to convert to Islam if I had to.
Freedom of religion or non religion should be a basic human rights, much as we do not wish to convert to Islam, I am sure they are not willing to convert to Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism etc. The most important thing is we respect them and they respect us.
Respect must be earned. No idea deserves respect just because some fool believes it. The most important thing is that no one be allowed to use violence to enforce their beliefs upon others.
Islamists from the Gaza Strip invaded Israel again yesterday. They attacked a fuel terminal that supplies Gaza and murdered two Israeli civilians. It is difficult for a Westerner to comprehend such stupidity. Murdering the people who are working hard to provide fuel for your homes -- not the actions of a rational mind. The Israeli Army responded rapidly to the attack, killing two of the attackers and preventing further bloodshed. It's no wonder that Egypt won't open their border with these bastards.
Rich arab countries?? Do some reading on the House of Saud. There is a very right minority who are members of the royal family, and everyone else. They are paranoid about keeping control. The economics problems in the US are NOTHING. We could have another great depression and still be many many times richer than all the Muslim world put together. After oil, the biggest part of the Saudi economy are.....dates. They are a one hit wonder. They no economy beyond pumping oil out of the ground. They are no threat to anyone but themselves.
There is not much feuture for israel as after this the one win who got more natural resourse like GAS, OIL etc.. Israel should stop killing poor muslims and also stop exporting terrorism otherwise people their gonna ride donkey instead of cars .
There growing rate is much much bigger than anyone else, also india. It dosen't matter anyway, I know you are a big fan of Israel but I'm afraid to tell you one day there will be an end for it, just like the Soviet Union, Israel will collapse, an illegal state simply can't sustain itself like it does without the pulses of money sent to it by the USA, also more and more Israelis are turning against the actions of it's goverment, more and more people are refusing to do the mandatory military service every year because of the inhumanity of the missions.
