[> [> Subject: Where does it end? Author: Philip Cyriac [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 18:58:19 04/06/02 Sat The problem is that history is full of massacres and other atrocities. In India, for example, Muslim rulers, over a few hundred years, killed 80 Million Hindus. Imagine what would happen if someone starts a revenge movement! Israelis gave life to a desoloate, hopless area. Palestinians could do better by cutting a deal with Israel and trying to move on. Israel must unconditionally stop settlements though. Lemme tell you one thing. If the Muslims were in power in the Middle East, very few Israelis would be alive now.

You are absolutely right Philip. Over a period of a few Hundred Years the Muslim Rulers indeed killed 80 Million Hindus or may be more. However, it is time that killing in the Name of Religion was stopped. We have got to learn to live with each other and let each practice his/her own Religion as well as stop this wanting to convert people to one's own religion. If we stop this killing / conversion business we could channel our resources to develope the under-developed parts of the World and reduce all the strife. Cheers

Or start to really have a problem with Israel until it was so prosperous? Amazing the things hard work accomplish, some people ought to try it, especially with all the money that is funneled in their direction. $25-50 thou for a suicide bomber from Saddam himself? Heck, that is more than alot of people in the US have for life insurance........
