Islamic Truths...

A nice op-ed in the LA Times by Mansoor Ijaz, an American Muslim of Pakistani ancestry.
The first truth is that most Muslim ideologues are hypocrites. What has Osama bin Laden done for the victims of the 2004 tsunami or the shattered families who lost everything in the Pakistani earthquake last year? He did not build one school, offer one loaf of bread or pay for one vaccination. And yet he, not the devout Muslim doctors from California and Iowa who repair broken limbs and lives in the snowy peaks of Kashmir, speaks the loudest for what Muslims allegedly stand for. He has succeeded in presenting himself as the defender of Islam's poor, and the Western media has taken his jihadist message all the way to the bank.

The hypocrisy only starts there. Muslims and Arabs have done pitifully little to help improve the capacity of the Palestinian people to be good neighbors to their Israeli brethren. Take the money spent by any Middle Eastern royal family at a London hotel or Geneva resort during one month and you could build enough schools and medical clinics to take care of 1,000 Palestinian children for a year. Yet rather than educate and feed Palestinian and Muslim children so they may learn to settle differences through dialogue and debate, instead of by throwing rocks and wearing bombs, the Muslim "haves" put on a few telethons to raise paltry sums for the "have nots" to alleviate the guilt over their palatial gilded cages.

Wow, is that a dumb comment! Israel massacres palestinian children, builds a massive wall to hem them in (and out). Send out Migs and tanks into a population which has home made bombs and rocks, and you are saying they aren't being good neighbours??! "Sorry, sir, is turning sideways making it harder to shoot me, here, let me oblige you..."

Have you BEEN to palestine? What the heck does Middle Eastern royalty have to do with THEM?? It's middle eastern royalty like Saddam, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the Philipinnes that have been the problem with their countries for years. You don't think muslims and 'poor people' would LOVE to get rid of them? The problem is, when they try, they are called 'terrorists' and the 'middle eastern royalty' that runs the place have an unending supply of arms from the good old USA, and some from Canada.

This is typical rant from someone who doesn't have the courage to put in his name.

Sorry, but Israel does not massacre Palestinian children. The security barrier has been a godsend - it protects Israelis from terror and Palestinian villages have seen their economies rebound.

Let's be clear here. The Israelis offered incredible concessions at Camp David - the Palestinian response was to launch a terror war.

Anonymous1 gives his lack of knowledge away by saying the Israelis fly MIGs..

Actually, it was the Arabs in the 1967 and 1973 that used MIGs to attack and try to detroy Israel..

Anonymous1 should spend a few mins reading an English translation of the Hamas website.. Palestinian Media Watch is a good source of info.

Have you seen the difference between the Hamas military website in English and Arabic. They are differences. The Arabic version has a flash image of Israel being blown up with a nuclear blast. The English version does not have this image.
According to the Qur'an it's alright to lie to anybody but Muslims.

I made note of it on my blog.
