He's not against Islam. He's against the crazies who only want suicide bombers, rockets and mortars and don't give a dam about life.
Reply
He wants peace where the crazies do not. I know Hyperbola, dissent, etc. will take the other side. But there is no sense talking to them as they have their blinders on!!-

Wouldn't that be like Hyperbola saying "I don't hate Jews, just Israelis..but would that be true.
Reply
Wouldn't hyperbola (truthfully) merely "tolerate" any Jews who declare their disdain for Israel?
(all 50,000 of them, wherever they're scattered around the world).>gee, what a nice gesture on hyperbola's part...No, we're not at war with Muslims..just Muslims who despise our culture
and religion and way of life and want to see us dead.... That's probably only 33% of them..problem is it was once 10%. -

The whole "moslem terrorist subhuman" propaganda is simply garbage invented by zionists to try to cover up their crimes against humanity in Palestine. As for Obama, he is already showing us that both in economic policy and foreign policy he is a puppet of the same kinds of financial and military imperialism as the Bush administration.

FIGHT AGAINST EXTREMISM: Bring an end to ‘triple evils’ by abandoning war
... Most of the people of this country, and around the world, want Obama to succeed. However, his escalation of the war in Afghanistan, as well as the ongoing occupation of Iraq, threaten to make a shambles of his domestic economic agenda, as well as his presidency, as the Vietnam War did to President Lyndon Johnson’s presidency.
Haven’t we had enough of war? We need to devote all of our energy and attention to addressing the global economic and climate crises, and to improving education, housing and health care in this country, not squandering $12 billion per month on the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan...
...Just as Martin Luther King said in 1967 about the Vietnamese people, the people of Afghanistan (and Iraq) today must see the U.S. as “strange liberators.” Unsurprisingly, the people of Afghanistan oppose an escalation of U.S. troops. An ABC News poll at the end of 2008 found that only 18 percent of Afghans support an increase in the U.S. military presence.
As to fighting terrorism, a RAND Corp. study released last year found that only 7 percent of terrorist organizations end their terrorist activities because they are defeated by the use of military force. Sending more troops is not the way to combat the dangers of terrorism....
...More war is still not the answer, and until fundamental changes are made in U.S. foreign policy —- an end to blank-check support for Israel, an end to U.S. occupation and military bases in Arab lands, an end to threats to Iran, an end to the chimera of the “global war on terror” (or whatever they call it now), an end to hypocrisy on nuclear proliferation, and concrete steps to address legitimate grievances in the Arab and Muslim world —- whatever we do in Afghanistan or Pakistan, short of a massive occupation that would be immoral and we can’t afford, is doomed to failure....

Now lets be honest. No one except for Obama and God knows if Obama is a Muslim or not.What we DO know is his father and other familiy members are. I believe this is what photo appears in his head when the word Muslim arises. Now it is normal that Obama does not wish to carry out a war against his own families religion. Who would?
Reply
This puts Obama who is in the middle of two wars in Muslim countries in a difficult place.
My suggestion to him, which would please both many Americans and his Muslim family members is
1. CALL a TERRORIST a TERRORIST!
2. Find them , fight them and rot them out!
3. Those countries that wish to hide or support them. Cut them off!
4. The World the USA and Islam would all be much better off without them.-

Well yes, we certainly need to start labelling zionists as the terrorists they have been for the past 100 years. The sooner jews start openly condemning pseudo-jewish zionist terrorists, the better. The world, the USA, and Judaism would all be much better off without them.
Reply
Why is Hezbollah, but not Israel, on the terrorism list?
There is no evidence of terrorism by Hezbollah, which regularly condemns acts of terrorism on religious grounds. AIPAC has pressured the State Dept. into putting Hezbollah on the list on phony grounds. In contrast, there are more than 6600 documented acts of israeli state terrorism against Lebanon.

We never have been at war with Islam. Turkey has been (and remains) key to our strategy of rebuilding Iraq into an effective, parliamentarily self-governing, and tribally integrated counter-balance to Iran.
Reply
In 2007 Nancy Pelosi tried to wreck our relations with Turkey and, thereby, derail the surge and wreck our Iraq strategy by introducing a House resolution condemning Turkey for Armenian genocide that did, in fact, occur in 1915. It was a clear attempt by Pelosi to undermine the Bush Administration and U.S. foreign policy for short term political gain. She was either too stupid to realize the deadly forces that such a gambit would have unleashed... or she was simply cynical in her pursuit of what she thought would be domestic political advantage.-

Well the watershed in Turks deciding that the US was not to be trusted was the bushie / zioncon invasion of Iraq for oil and Israel. They were right. If you think Pelosi in 2007 bears responsibility, you might want to look at the most popular movie in Turkey in 2006. Stop lying to us jimd.

Turkish rush to embrace anti-US film
It is rabidly anti-American, and it is the biggest draw in town.
With a budget of $10m (£5.7m), Valley of the Wolves Iraq is the most expensive film ever made in Turkey - and it is pulling record crowds.
At one of Istanbul's biggest multiplex cinemas the blockbuster is showing on five separate screens and nearly all the seats are sold out. It's the same story across the country.
"I'm back to see it for the second time already," says one student, waiting impatiently outside Screen 10.
"It is anti-American, but we already know what they've done in Iraq. That's the reality. Now we can see it on screen." ....
...the action pits good Turks against very bad Americans, in a mix of fact and fiction with a deeply nationalistic flavour.
In one scene, trigger-happy US troops massacre civilians at a wedding party.
In another they firebomb a mosque during evening prayer. There are multiple summary executions.
And for the first time, the real-life abuses by American soldiers at Abu Ghraib prison are played out on the big screen....
.... Back at the multiplex there was an all-round vote of approval from the audience for the movie, and general disapproval for the US.
"Everything we've been hearing on the news about Iraq is in this film," one woman says as she emerges from the auditorium.
"We condemn this war and will continue to condemn it. But I don't see America as our fundamental enemy," she adds.
"I'm really upset after this, really upset," an older man says, as rushes away.
"If I see an American when I get out of here I feel like taking a hood and putting it over their head."

Well done, jimdoze.

I'm surprised to see how few people truly understand the geopolitical situation in the Middle East.
Btw, jimdoze, I thought you might also be interested in the event where Pelosi met with the Syrian President against the wishes (and diplomatic sanctions) of the Bush administration.

Contrary to what Muhammadans believe, America has never BEEN at war with Islam. If America WAS at war with Islam, the Ka'aba would be pounded into oblivion from cruise missiles, it's remains buried in pig parts and pig poop, Mecca would be threatened with glassification IF such defiling only increased terror, and, mosques would be talked about as becoming internment centers IF the destruction of the Ka'aba increased Islamic terror. America is NOT at war with Islam, and, it never will be because of the oil money flowing to our world leaders. Islam shall vanquish America, instead.

I think he is trying to point out that many civilizations have fallen from within. By powers within the country they are trying to conquer. Even if it takes many hundreds of years.

Obama shooting his mouth off again telling the world that the U.S. is responsible for all the misery that the world is going through. What patriotism. His new buddies are the Islams not the American people since he thinks we are the evil ones. Kissing up to the French, Russians, and Chinese, Muslims, etc. Selling us down the river with his hate America bashing. Big shot, telling the North Koreans that they better not shoot off their rockets. Hey! he is a coward and they know it. They shot it off anyway. They said, what is he gonna do, he is all talk. Telling the Russians that we are going to get rid of all our rockets and bombs. Why don't he just tell them to come on over and take control and run this country. God knows he can't do it. How about his summit meetings. What a joke. Not one real expert in the field of whatever summit he is conducting. Another stimulus budget that has passed. What happen to all the other money? Oh! yah, he is stashing for he and his flunkies for a rainy day. Probably the one that will be raining Atomic Missiles. Yet, all the ones who voted for him want to give him a chance. All losers, living off tax payers

money, or just brain washed college students that have never experience any real life trauma. Say what you want but some of the talk show people know what they are talking about. Maybe you should listen once in awhile to people like, Rush, Severin, Imgram, Grahm, Carr, and others. There are policies that are communistic and policies that are capitalistic. Communist countries have never succeeded. Our Capitalist country has blow doors and all other countries. But morons who never know much of anything just sit at their computers all night long and blame all the people that are gone because they only know what the new propaganda media tells them what to think. By the way if he wants to tax some people that are rich how about the sports players or the movie stars, 10 million for a picture, come on. 250 million for 5 or 6 seasons, unreal. Wake up and smell the atomic bombs. Sleep tight.-

How can he repair the damage done by the respective administration in a couple of months? It might take another 20 years to repair the economic and political damage the Bush administration done it but America will not be the same. -

Obama 'accepts responsibility' for our involvement ..So instead you expect him to say "we're perfect and have no responsibility for anything"???,,and you question HIS sanity??/

I don't want any tax dollars and I'm not a college student..I own a corporation and I want him to keep corporations fro breaking the rules that we have to follow.>THAT doesn't make him

If this is not a war against Islam what it is? Obama can say that he is not at war with Islam but he is killing a lot of innocent Muslims in Afghanistan on a daily basis which his predecessor started it in the name of war on terror and Obama continues it in a different name that he is fighting the extremists. People who oppose the American puppets and occupiers are not extremists but liberators but the method that they use to fight the invaders may be debatable.If there are extremists in those countries the US and the Western world must get out and support the leaders of those countries to fight them. The moment the US gets out they will have the government of their choice that is something the US doesn't want, the Israelis do not want, why because they hate Islam but 1.6 billion Muslims love Islam and they hate the hypocrites and the puppets that control their lives. But anyway a couple of years time US will realize they can't fight Islam. War on terror is war on Islam, every Muslim understands that. Obama can repeat it as a mantra but Muslims are not so nave. When America support Israel to kill the Muslims the America is at war with the Muslim world. US cannot continue this double standard forever. Why not fight the Israel terrorist like Olmert?

You cannot teach new tricks to an old dog, Mutainia fits into the same category. Mutani is an ignorant,blind and stupid Born Again Christian, his post are anti-Islam and anti-Muslim who knows nothing about Islam, he hates Islam for the sake of hating Islam because all the Zionists hate Islam and also the Zionists hate those Jews who expose them. In fact Islam will grow faster than ever before and remain forever as the true religion of all the Prophets of God. Unlike Christianity and Judaism, now these two religions are controlled by the Zionists not the real followers. Paul distorted Christianity and the Zionists distorted Judaism to suit their chosen people agenda. Israelis are converts of Kazar to Judaism and they have no right in the land of the Jews, Christians and Muslims.-

If I know nothing about Islam, O Moonlight, how come I'm being stalked by Muhammadans now? But, a better question for everyone here is, is WHY should they bother to stalk me, period? WHY does a religion have to resort to ifear and intimidation when it comes to free speech? NO Muhammadan wants to anwser that question, especially my Muhammadan stalkers.

YOU ARE ALL GULABLE IDIOTS BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE WHAT YOU SEE ON THE NEWS AND WHAT'S WRITTEN IN THE PAPERS. HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OUTSIDE OF THE BOX?, ALSO HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT WHY SOME PEOPLE RESORT TO SUCH ACTS. WELL I WILL TELL YOU EXACTLY WHY BECAUSE THEY NEVER SHOW WHEN THE U.S SOLDIERS KILL MUSLIMS ON A DAILY BASIS & ONLY SHOW WHEN U.S SOLDIERS ARE KILLED & HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT MOST OF THE COUNTRIES THEY SEND U.S SOLDIERS TO ARE MUSLIM COUNTRIES?, THAT'S BECAUSE THEY WANT TO EVADE & CONQUER.
