Hey Crusty how did you do that Spoiler/Show?

[Dan and Judy 614]

Well I thought I would start learning by walking the streets of Pakistan dressed an an Orthodox Jew with a cartoon of Allah taped to my back. I'm sure those peeps over there will be tolerant about it.

If you werent so tall and white it could also be educational to walk around the West Bank dressed as a Palistinian

Who is giving up what? Do it internally? What does that mean? How is flying a plane into a building in Morocco going to solve their problems? Why don't you go there and help these people do these things you think are the key to their problems?

The as per you so claimed US meddling other countries business how was that going to be solved by flying planes in world trade center?

So your countries problem would not be solved by flying planes into bldg in your country, but muslims do the same to US they were going to solve the problem?????

I don't speak for terrorists and I don't defend them.

Who defends terrorist regimes? Did you see who won the Nobel peace prize today? Check it out!

You have not answered my clear question: how many on the streets would say they like americans or jews? Very direct question!

On the subject of a Nobel Prize: Nobel Committee for Peace is like a prostitute. Obama also got a Nobel Price for nothing! Better question would be probably % of other nobel prizes and how many muslims are among them? This really tells you developmental level of one or another culture: % of nobel prize laureates.

BTW, Peace NObel Prize is the most outrageous one. And the most outrageous recipients are Obama and Arafat. One did absolutely nothing except getting US economy into turmoil and another one is #1 terrorist. Way to go! What value does Peace NObel Price has after these two nominations?? I guess, next Nobel Price should be given to Osama bin Laden: he will not kill anyone in 2012!

Well, I am American and I am marrying a Muslim from a Muslim Country. He must like me. Perhaps you would need to go to those countries and take a poll? I am sorry, I haven't done that, as per your request. I have better things to do with my time. I think such a poll is as idiotic as this OPs poll.

Why don't you research history to really understand the contributions of Muslims in history? These statements are stale and old.

Perhaps the reason three women won the Peace Prize this year for non-violent actions was because of their lack of hot-headedness, and lack of thirst for blood and vengeance. When you bring a country out of war, like the new President of Liberia, then I'll talk to you again about this subject. By the way, it's peace, not piece.

[san diego 407]

I am stating pure facts here, including published polls. Your statement is absolutely groundless. You just do not have arguments.

As long as these people are sheep and will not fight for freedom they will not have it. We can hand it to them on a silver platter but it will not be ingrained in them and it will quickly slip away. You can pray, beg, plead, wish, and dream, but until someone is willing to die for a cause, nothing is going to change.

Not sure what this means but the people that ran the planes into the World trade center were willing to die for their cause

Most Iraqis Favor Immediate U.S. Pullout, Polls Show

BAGHDAD, Sept. 26 -- A strong majority of Iraqis want U.S.-led military forces to immediately withdraw from the country, saying their swift departure would make Iraq more secure and decrease sectarian violence, according to new polls by the State Department and independent researchers.

In Baghdad, for example, nearly three-quarters of residents polled said they would feel safer if U.S. and other foreign forces left Iraq, with 65 percent of those asked favoring an immediate pullout, according to State Department polling results obtained by The Washington Post.

Another new poll, scheduled to be released on Wednesday by the Program on International Policy Attitudes at the University of Maryland, found that 71 percent of Iraqis questioned want the Iraqi government to ask foreign forces to depart within a year. By large margins, though, Iraqis believed that the U.S. government would refuse the request, with 77 percent of those polled saying the United States intends keep permanent military bases in the country.

The stark assessments, among the most negative attitudes toward U.S.-led forces since they invaded Iraq in 2003, contrast sharply with views expressed by the government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Last week at the United Nations, President Jalal Talabani said coalition troops should remain in the country until Iraqi security forces are "capable of putting an end to terrorism and maintaining stability and security."

"Only then will it be possible to talk about a timetable for the withdrawal of the multinational forces from Iraq," he said.

Recent polls show many Iraqis in nearly every part of the country disagree.

if ( show_doubleclick_ad && ( adTemplate & INLINE_ARTICLE_AD ) == INLINE_ARTICLE_AD && inlineAdGraf ){placeAd('ARTICLE',commercialNode,20,'inline=y;',true) ;} "Majorities in all regions except Kurdish areas state that the Multi-National Force-Iraq (MNF-I) should withdraw immediately, adding that the MNF-I's departure would make them feel safer and decrease violence," concludes the 20-page State Department report, titled "Iraq Civil War Fears Remain High in Sunni and Mixed Areas." The report was based on 1,870 face-to-face interviews conducted from late June to early July.

The Program on International Policy Attitudes poll, which was conducted over the first three days of September for WorldPublicOpinion.org, found that support among Sunni Muslims for a withdrawal of all U.S.-led forces within six months dropped to 57 percent in September from 83 percent in January.

"There is a kind of softening of Sunni attitudes toward the U.S.," said Steven Kull, director of PIPA and editor of WorldPublicOpinion.org. "But you can't go so far as to say the majority of Sunnis don't want the U.S. out. They do. They're just not quite in the same hurry as they were before."

The PIPA poll, which has a margin of error of 3 percent, was carried out by Iraqis in all 18 provinces who conducted interviews with more than 1,000 randomly selected Iraqis in their homes.

Using complex sampling methods based on data from Iraq's Planning Ministry, the pollsters selected streets on which to conduct interviews. They then contacted every third house on the left side of the road. When they selected a home, the interviewers then collected the names and birth dates of everyone who lived there and polled the person with the most recent birthday.

Matthew Warshaw, a senior research manager at D3 Systems, which helped conduct the poll, said he didn't think Iraqis were any less likely to share their true opinions with pollsters than Americans. "It's a concern you run up against in Iowa or in Iraq," he said. "But for the most part we're asking questions that people want to give answers to. People want to have their voice heard."

[Brother Hesekiel 2,236]

I just found this in the news. Look at the picture.

http://www.telegraph...S-soldiers.html

If this does not make the father in the picture rise up in arms to defeat the internal enemy, then there is no hope.

The suicide bomber didn't want to kill Iraqi children; they wanted to kill the imperialist U.S. soldier pigs who intermingled with their people.

If this does not make any father in any picture rise up an arms and request to get the #### out of Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and any country we have no business in, then there is no hope.

I agree.
