Try it yourself.

Even if you were treated poorly, is that a reason to treat others poorly? What would Jesus do?

But we don't stone women in the streets for not wearing a burka. Or allow raped women to be murdered by their fathers for being raped. 


We let our soldiers rape, murder, and torture and get away with it, as long as they do it in another country.

I don't recall any stoning, unless you count getting to check out the Dome of the Rock. A Lubavitcher yelled at me for smoking a cigarette on shabat, though, and that sucked. The people in Cairo were nicer than the people in Jerusalem.

Also, bedouin Arabs changed a flat tire for me on the road between Tel-Aviv and Haifa. True story.

And this is why I say liberals don't care about the military time and again.



What are you talking about! What more could they want, really?

There are exceptions.
Every one of the hundreds of people I've met on multiple trips to the middle east are exceptions? ****, I'm one lucky girl. It's amazing I made it back with my **** in one piece.

Done. My sister spent 3 months in Tunisia (if you don't know where that is, it's where they filmed the hover car scenes in Star Wars). Muslim population is 98%. She was treated amazingly well because tourism is loved in that area. Plus she had a lot of guys interested in her, because blue eyes were so rare and considered amazingly beautiful. They did have some stereotypes though. They asked why she wasn't fat and rude, because that's how they expected Americans to be.

She's going to Cairo, Egypt for this fall, so I can report back on how another Muslim country is.

Yup. And those exceptions are where people are horribly treated and repressed. Step out of line and you get in trouble. Just like America in certain parts.

I agree, Saudi Arabia is a real problem. We should probably invade.

Pfft, the Jews would have kicked my *** for reading the Torah in public. Smiley: schooled

And I did hook up with a delightful young journalism student for a very memorable weekend in Eilat.

I nailed a hairy chick at a kibutz when I was 15. It's like we're twins.

I'm not sure what you mean by "recognize." A nation is comprised of individual citizens who never agree on anything, so it would be impossible for a nation to be willing to recognize Israel's right to exist. The government is another story. Iran's government is just a puppet for the religious theocracy which is whats fueling this war to begin with.


Genuine democracy is pretty rare in the Middle East, so it's not really a matter of public opinion. I'm sure if you asked every single Muslim in the area whether they were okay with Israel they'd say yes. The only beef most people have with Israel is Israel's habit of driving tanks into their towns and blowing **** up.

The issue is that a lot of the governments in the Middle East have built their legitimacy on an anti-West anti-Israel platform. For them to officially recognise Israel would make them look like hypocrites and probably put them out of a job. I mean, Sadat got shot for doing that exact thing. That's not exactly a motivating example for the other Muslim leaders to follow.

I really, really, don't know what you're trying to say here.

Are you saying Lawrence of Arabia gives examples of southern hospitality? 'Cause if so, I don't think you've actually seen it. In fact, the very idea of a BRITISH officer during WWI uniting the Bedouin (Arabs) to overthrow the Turks using guerrilla (OMFG TERRORORIST!) tactics flies in the face of any idea of Southern Hospitality.

Unless you're referring to the "implied" rape scene. But that wasn't done by an Arab, it was done by a Turk. And even then, with your references all crossed, YOU are saying that Southern Hospitality = Rape.

And if so, then Deliverance is also an example of southern hospitality.

hmm, i never really got on the obama bandwagon cuz he's down with unrepentant terrorists, but then again, i dont like america because of our horridly high crime rate and our pathetic education system (interestingly enough, it's probably our pathetic education system that is causing our horrid crime rate. What can you do, eh?)

If you're only talking to educated Muslims living above the poverty line, or to members of moderate and conservative Muslim congregations, then yes. Sadly, the poor and ill-educated underclasses of most Middle-Eastern countries have been well-conditioned to blame Israel for their governments own civic failings.

Yeah, it's pretty hard to see where we'd get that you hate all Muslims in general.

I don't hate anyone. That doesn't mean I have to agree with everyone.

You've already stated that you want to declare war on Muslims. And you want to kill thousands of people in Chicago. This does not sound like someone who is at peace with the world.
