A well-thought criticism ( may be analysis or discussion in your terms)of the Ameriacan Goverment Ali. We may try to understand the extent of hatred burning in your heart for the long rule of Americans in Iran, but that’s because of the Taliban regime in Iran. You have got some excellent definitions.

And what do you call a Muslim who blows himself up and kills 100s of other innocent Muslims, men, women and children? I’d like an answer to that, please.

And I say enough is enough, to that.

Incognito, just imagine the frustration of the person who is taking up arms. No one wants to do it for pleasure.

Everyone loves their life.

”And what do you call a Muslim who blows himself up and kills 100s of other innocent Muslims, men, women and children? I’d like an answer to that, please.”

These kind of propaganda will lead to nothing but further hatred and desperation from all sides.

Ali, my friend, if everyone loves and respects their own life why is blood so easily shed. their own and that of others? Suicide bommbers should not exist.

And it isn’t propaganda, it’s fact. It happens on a daily basis. Every day I open my newspaper I see articles about someone blowing up a bunch of innocent people.

Why?

I’m sorry, but I don’t condone violence, and especially not in the name of religion.

Do you not see that this is why people fear Islam, because of attitudes like this. Why can’t Islam live in peace with other religions? just a simple question. I wish you no harm. Why should you wish me harm?

Ali,

You are a brave man indeed to post a blog like this here.Yet people will never question how can they live in peace,if they do not allow Islam to live in peace?

Do they think we are moroons like the Europeans and Philippines who were massacred,tortured ,and ’Inquisitioned’;by Rome to change them from their ancestors faith;and now kept in bondage under the banner of USA(Rome’s inheritor) to serve US Imperialist interests.

Hassan, Who isn’t allowing Islam to live in peace... in fact, it is the reverse, but you are all too blinded by your hatred to see that.

Go back to the beginning of history and the Islamic imperialism of the Ottoman Empire.... Explain that please.

Incognito, you don`t need answers. You need reasons. You need more reasons to hate other humans, you need more reasons to justify your hatred toward other religions.

No, not reasons to hate other people and other religions, Ali. I have the deepest repsect for other human beings and every religion, enough to know that killing others is morally and spiritually wrong, no matter what grievances you feel are being wrought against you. You don’t go around killing people. I think your Allah would be absolutel horrified at what so many do in His name.

All I can see is hatred and intolerance.

Even if a platform like Instablogs can`t initiated a dialogue between people of different religions, they nothing can.

Instablogs is a platform for dialogue.. that means 2 people... with potentially differing viewpoints. Not everyone is going to agree with you, that doesn’t mean they are being intolerant or hate you.

I just want to understand, that’s all, why Muslims hate people of other religions.

Incognito,

Of course the US isn’t Iran.Iran never:

Founded itself on the genocide of the entire original population of the country.

And Iran did not continue to expand by occupying over two thirds of it’s neighbours territory(mexico)

Iran never butchered over 500,000 Filipnos and Cubans to make it’s Pacific Empire.

Iran never dominated dropped nuclear weapons on Nagasaki and Hiroshima.

Iran never profited through the misery of trillions of deaths of an entire continent in modern times to establish it’s domination of and bases in Europe.Using two WWs to emerge as a super power.

Iran is not now killing millions in Iraq and Afghanistan to make additional bases to capture the oil and mineral wealth of Mid-east and central Asia.

Every where which ever enemy America choose to fight-Red Indians-Cubans-Filipnos-Japs-Germans-Chinese-Russians and now Muslims it first demonises ....

But know this we Muslims have long memories -and much more self respect then the enemies you have chosen for yourself till now...... in case you persist with your follow your retreat from Iraq is only a fore taste of worse to follow.YOUR DAYS ARE UP.

Well, Hassan, the question was to Sasmita, who said the following:

”We may try to understand the extent of hatred burning in your heart for the long rule of Americans in Iran....”

But maybe you can explain what Sasmita means by that statement.

And what thousands of Cubans did the U.S. kill?

I’m not saying the U.S. is perfect, but some of what you claim is nonsense.

The Nazis and the communist Soviets were responsible for massacring MILLIONS of people in the 1940s. NOT the U.S. we dragged our feet before we finally we entered the WWII .. please get your facts straight. Had we gone in earlier, many people would have been saved, but then again they were Jews and we know what Muslims think of Jews. The Germans started the war with their holocaust.

And more people are being killed in the middle east and Iraq by fellow Muslims than by western military.

Yes, I know, you have long memories, patience and hatred in your hearts for anyone non-Muslim (and Muslims who are not of the same sect). ”YOUR DAYS ARE UP”? That, my friend, proves my point.
