[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Muslima]"The problem is that you’re talking about a religion of one and a half billion people, and certainly it becomes very easy to just simply paint them all with a single brush."  Sums it up!

[/quote]Funny thing is, Muslima, this has been happening to Jews for over 5 thousand years. When is it wrong and when is it right?[/quote]

It is wrong in both cases.  How is that not obvious?[/quote]That's exactly the point I'm trying to make. Hypocrisy is never right. But it's particularly egregious in this case. Jews have been kicked out of better and worse places than Israel. We were taken to task for not fighting back during the Holocaust. Now we take the offense for our own defense. We are fighting back. Not to take your land but to defend our land. What excuse can you give when your own bible tells you to kill the Jew that is behind you? And please don't tell me how most Palestinians are really nice people. That argument works both ways.[/quote]

If you are referring to the Quran, it may never be interpreted to mean Muslims can kill Jews simply because they are Jews. No. Never. If Jews or anyone who is a disbeliever physically stops Muslims from practicing their faith, such as by destroying their mosques or killing Muslims, then Muslims have permission to defend themselves. If the Quran fails to clarify this, its because Allah expects every Muslim to study the Quran and its historical context too. If the Quran asked Muslims to kill Jews anywhere and everywhere, then Muslims would be killing Jews here in the US. As you can see, thats not happening. Jews are flourishing here in the US and at the same time, Islam is rapidly growing here also. Jews and Muslims live together peacefully here. So the permission to kill anyone is only in self defense. [/quote]I guess the problem then is that a great deal of Muslim people (not ALL Muslim people) are guilty of misunderstanding their own Quran.[/quote]
