Um, yeah, I'm with LennyeTran here. The concept of Israel as a peaceful and free country is laughable.
What is laughable?

Monster: I meant to say that Israel has more overt conflicts than say, Tasmania. I meant to say that there's a very tense situation between the Israelites and Palestinians, hence the numerous Peace talks that were orginized throughout the end of the XX century. If there's a need for a peace talk, I'm not making much of a leap if I view the concept of Israel as 'peaceful' (peaceful meaning, as dictionary.com defines it: Undisturbed by strife, turmoil, or disagreement; tranquil) country as laughable.

I never meant to say that Israeli people were some kind of peace-hating warmongers. The second definition of peaceful (peaceful2= inclined or disposed to peace; peaceable) might've made you, Moster, think I meant it that way. In hindsight, I see how my words might've been misinterpreted. I think people in Israel might want what everyone wants: live their lives in peace.

Danyet: Perhaps (most likely) my ideas on the Middle East situation are wrong, I never claimed to be an expert on the subject. I was just giving my opinion, like everyone else on the board.

Thanks for explanation. I didnt mean to blame you for using the term "laughable" I just wanted you to clarify your point. Anyway next time you try to say something about what you arent sure or lack of knowledge firstly think how it may affect others which may know more then you and regard your words as nonsess or simple ignogance.

I can tell by your posts that you have bought in to all that leftie ideaology taught as fact by retarded professors and school teachers these days. Where there are no absolutes and there is no right or wrong anymore!! You can't see that the mastermind at Beslan was twisted by Islam. He had two women with him with their heads covered wearing suicide belts for Pete's sake. He blew one of them up himself, just to make a point!!! However the Chechnyen conflict started, it has become taken over by Islam. And this fact is what the lefties and Media refuse to wake up to.

I'm replying to the last post just because I wouldn't like people to think I run away from confrontation. There's only one more thing I'd like to say and that is:

Danyet, if I can understand that you have your own point of view, one that stems from your own experiences and knowledge, then I wish you could understand -or at least tolerate- mine. A simple 'I don't agree with you' would've sufficed.

Israel is not Iran. Israel does not threaten its neihbours to wipe them out of the world. Israel is an open state with a democratic form of government.

Iran is an absolutely opposite case. Iran threatens Israel. The speeches of its leader remind the speeches of Adolf Hitler. The only difference is that Iran is not developped enough still to begin a war or demand from other nations what it wants without asking them.

But even now we may see how Iran try to blackmail the world with the prices on oil. Creating of the atomic bomb will bring Iran all what it needs to dictate the world its own rules of the game but then nobody will be able to stop it.

How many of it's neighbours has Iran killed recently? Would you like to compare that to the amount Israel has killed? LOL.. The truth is, I'm not debating on the Iranian governments side here. They can die for all I care. The Israeli, Iranian, American, and British Government.. It's all the same $h!t. Trying to figure out which @$$hole they come from is pointless.

ABC, BBC, CBC, GOOGLE, and every other news agency I Can think of. These are my sources. The Israeli government has killed innocent Palestinian people as has the Palestinian with innocent Israelis. Your defence is probably going to be somewhere along the lines of "we have no choice, but to defend ourselves" and there's is the same. Same $h!t different @$$hole. It's all meaningless attempts to justify murders of the innocent for power.

Do you think it is a wrong step to defend citizens from suicide terrorist attacks.
Do you know other means to stop terror or you just don’t care “all the same $h!t”.

And what have you seen on ABC. I also watch ABC but I did not hear that Israel has any intentions of killing innocent! It only tryes to destroy terrorist groups which launch rockets to their cities or try to cross the border to blow themselves up in a crowd or a bus or a market thriving to kill as many as possible!

Oh come on! The innocent whom are passed of as casualties of war.... The children, the families.. Israel and Palestine.. Neither government is innocent. Both sides claim to be committing these crimes in self defense...

There's no point in debating this topic really. If the two countries can't agree...

You are wrong, palestinian terrorist movements call for jihad and send terrorists to make suiside attacks in order to kill Israeli people because they want to destroy the state of Israel.What a kind of a defence you may call it, palestinians terrorists use houses of local citezens as a live-shield, they fire rockets from the roofs knowing that Israel won't strike back because of the innocent civilians which may suffer from the stricke, they use children sending them to blow themselves up in Israel, they use religion for propaganda of suiside attacks they use mosquets as the places for washing the brains and spreading hatred and venom against Israel and all who support it including USA. There are the terrible things that must be rooted out. They do not call it self defence - they send terrorists to kill innocent! One must be totaly blind not to see that!

Palestinian government consisted from HAMAS which is terrerist organization! HAMAS killed hundreds innocent Israelis before it came to power. US and EU declared HAMAS as a terrorist organization.
If the two countries can't agree.
Palestinian authority is not a country!
There's no point in debating this topic really.
I may agree here with you cause I see your knowledge of the subject is not complete or just wrong.

Anyone who kills others for their religious belief is not a peaceful person, to me. Therefore, people in Israel or Palestine are not peaceful people to me.

Israel has no state religion. Israel is made up of all different kinds of people and religions including a lot of complete athiests just like any other non muslim country!

Israel kills simply for it's survival.

If Israel did not kill. If Israel disbanded her army.
Israel would cease to exist! It is as simple as that. Israel would be taken over by muslim zealots in a matter of days.

Do every country kill the people to survive ?

What did you think when you thought and wrote it ?
Many of countries in this world can survive without killing....
Israel is bombing Palestine for its benefits. USA supports Israel for its benefits.
The magical word is "benefit".
Not "survive"

Now USA wants to bomb Iran because of petrol sources. They want to get very expensive and valuable sources which is belong to other country.

This is what Pearl said,
there is line in the Quran say if you kill people you will go to hell

However, there are bunch of lines in the Koran give you permission to declare battles. Read your verses about war. Or read your verses about women. Or read your verses about how to deal with other religions or as you call "disbelievers" It's a manual book of rules, to me.

I'm aware of your thoughts about the Koran. That's why I'm still trying to find a chapter that you don't include this line God is omnipotent. But it seems like this is one of the main subliminal messages in the Koran.

The Qur'an states that it is a perfect book preserved on tablets in heaven (Surah 85:21-22). If the Qur'an is a perfect book from Allah, then there shouldn't be any contradictions in it. Of course, the Muslims will deny any contradictions exist in the Qur'an, but they do. Some of the contradictions below could be debated, but some of them are clearly contradictions.
A contradiction occurs when one statement on a subject excludes the possibility of another. The first one here is a good example. In Surah 19:67, it states that man was created out of nothing. In 15:26, man is created from clay. Since clay is something, we have a contradiction since "nothing" excludes the possibility of "clay." Both cannot be true.
All quotes from the Qur'an, unless otherwise specified, are from Yusuf Ali and can be found at the Qur'an online.



1. What was man created from, blood, clay, dust, or nothing?


1. "Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood," (96:2).

2. "We created man from sounding clay, from mud moulded into shape, (15:26).

3. "The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him: "Be". And he was," (3:59).

4. "But does not man call to mind that We created him before out of nothing?" (19:67, Yusuf Ali). Also, 52:35).

5. "He has created man from a sperm-drop; and behold this same (man) becomes an open disputer! (16:4).





2. Is there or is there not compulsion in religion according to the Qur'an?

1. "Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things," (2:256).

2. "And an announcement from Allah and His Messenger, to the people (assembled) on the day of the Great Pilgrimage,- that Allah and His Messenger dissolve (treaty) obligations with the Pagans. If then, ye repent, it were best for you; but if ye turn away, know ye that ye cannot frustrate Allah. And proclaim a grievous penalty to those who reject Faith," (9:3).

3. "But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practice regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful," (9:5).

4. Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued," (9:29).





3. The first Muslim was Muhammad? Abraham? Jacob? Moses?

1. "And I [Muhammad] am commanded to be the first of those who bow to Allah in Islam," (39:12).

2. "When Moses came to the place appointed by Us, and his Lord addressed him, He said: "O my Lord! show (Thyself) to me, that I may look upon thee." Allah said: "By no means canst thou see Me (direct); But look upon the mount; if it abide in its place, then shalt thou see Me." When his Lord manifested His glory on the Mount, He made it as dust. And Moses fell down in a swoon. When he recovered his senses he said: "Glory be to Thee! to Thee I turn in repentance, and I am the first to believe." (7:143).

3. "And this was the legacy that Abraham left to his sons, and so did Jacob; "Oh my sons! Allah hath chosen the Faith for you; then die not except in the Faith of Islam," (2:132).
