We have had just a bit enough of your apamming of State Department and hardcore Israeli lobby spins

My dear readers including Whisper, iam just an ordinary, concerned muslim who is proud of his faith and at the same time very much distressed at the sufferings that my Ummah is going through .

I also believe a major portion of the blame lies at the feet of our leaders,influential members of the community and the clergy who  have mislead us, the ordinary muslims in order to safeguard their own selfish interests.

Inspite of the constant criticism and name calling like in the post above I will continue to educate my fellow members and at the same time keep an open mind and learn from you .

Thank you

syed123, it is Allah who will do the judging. That is beyond my remit.

Its my personal belief and view that unless the Palestinians put up a united front and change their long standing attitude of confrontation towards Israel.

Congratulations!

You have just struck the jackpot. If this is your personal thesis then you must demand heavy royalties, from the U S of A, they have been spreading this line, left, right and centre, without your permission, since July 1982 – after they were forced to flee from Lebanon – as one of their excuses to maintain Status Quo in that area

the dynamics of the current situation are likely to remain the same indefinitely with the palestinians being the worst effected.

Dynamics of this universe and, specially, of global politics are not something dead or as still as you wish to portray. These are vital processes and change faster than your dreams. Even otherwise nothing ever remains to the same indefinitely.

Israel also will need to make concessions from their side but just blaming israel without any concrete initiatives from their side is not going to help the palestinians in any way.

I will accept this point in good humour and from someone who is proving, with each breath that he knows nothing about this conflict (or, in your words, Refugee Problem!) other than the US media spins.

Its also prudent to recognise the reality that Israel is in a stronger position on the negotiating table and groups like hamas need to renounce violence and recognise the right of Israel to exist as an independent sovereign state.

Again, I salute your generous ability to take in all US media spin as some gospel truth. Anyone who understands Political Process and knows anything about this conflict, knows the INDICATORS Hamas has been putting up for not just recognising Israel, BUT ALSO HAVING A PEACE DEAL WITH IT.

VIOLENCE WILL CEASE ONLY AND ONCE OCCUPATION ENDS. My friend, Palestinians are just a bit different from our sub-continental brothers who happen to hold a 2000 years old great tradition of and the World Record for appeasing occupiers.

The Longstanding palestinian issue has not only increased poverty and suffering among the palestinians but also has diverted world attention from other pressing muslim issues and problems around the world like the conflict in Chechnya etc.

We are quite used to multi-tasking and will focus on all conflicts. Why must we toss aside all conflicts and just keep our concern only with conflicts of your (or the State Department’s) choice?

Inspite of the constant criticism and name calling like in the post above I will continue to educate my fellow members and at the same time keep an open mind and learn from you .

The US State Department an all the Zionist Think Tanks have been trying to educate us on the exact same lines and with the exact same zeal. We don't pay much heed to their words.

What deal are you offering us that we should listen to their message, packaged in their words, but delivered to us through your key-board?
