Awwe come'on Genno, you almost gave us a real thought here for once and now you're holding back, explain yourself.

Why was it possibly the worst mistake of the 20th century?

You mean so you can pretend that you're interested?

.... the establishment of Israel in '48 were arguably the worst things to happen in that part of the world in the 20th century.

Did you actually say that?

Care to make a retraction before I simply write you off as an anti-Israel antisemite?

It took you this long?

Dude, I'm at work all day. I don't hang out here reading this drivel in real time. Some people have real lives, for others there's VJ OT.

Yes...hanging out and reading drivel is your priority. What's the matter with you?

I read all of Quran quotes and all of the Bible quotes and I did make a conclusion from them when I see them in their context. A much higher percentage of the Quran quotes appear to be commands then the Biblical quotes. More of the Biblical quotes are statements of something that happened rather then a command. Another conclusion I made is that on average references to death in the bible are actions by God where as in the Quran they are actions by people. When people kill in the bible there are times when it is later mentioned as wrong ie. that quote about david.

Don't get me wrong both have there fair share of killing and death but there is certainly a difference in the way it is delivered...just sayin.

Why of course I am.

Could be with the Proliferation of Nukes in that part of the world, you might at some point say "I told ya so".

The Quran is only about 10% law, and even some of that is conditional or situational. The verses that Joe repeatedly posts are part of a collection known as the "Sword Verses", which were revealed during battles. Even within them are directives to let enemies go if you see good in them. Context is incredibly important, as is a knowledge of history, when evaluating the holy books.

Have I missed something here? Did you provide an explanation for this statement, other than the obvious "take it at face value"?

I know you're not generally a massive pr1ck. A little befuddled perhaps. But not one to just claim that the national aspirations of a people 2,000 years in the making is the "worst thing that could happen". We should go back to living stateless, yes?

I'm all for recognizing the valid national aspirations of the Palestinians. and working to achieve them. But not at the expense of the valid national aspirations (and achievements) of my own peeps.

Scandal wrote me off for a lot less. I don't miss him, and you won't either.
