I'm guessing that you were referring to the one titled "<A HREF="http://clean-fun.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow"> Islam & Muslims (The truth)</A>.<BR/><BR/>The most recent post, as of October 29, 2007, was "<A HREF="http://clean-fun.blogspot.com/2007/10/im-terrorist_25.html" REL="nofollow">I'm terrorist (P. I)</A>."<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry, but this is hardly new to me. I'm in my mid-fifties, and the status of the Palestinian people has stayed about the same since I started paying attention, sometime in the mid-sixties.<BR/><BR/>I am going to presume to compare some of my ancestors to the Palestinians. I'm half Irish: and so have a particular attitude toward the English occupation of Eire. Henry VIII is not one of my favorite people.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, the deplorable acts of the Irish Republican Army made me as close to being ashamed to be Irish as it's possible to be.<BR/><BR/>Now, what has this to do with the Palestinians?<BR/><BR/>The Irish were under the heel of foreigners. And still are, it's been argued.<BR/><BR/>The Palestinians say that they are under the heel of foreigners. And, that may be so.<BR/><BR/>But, just as I denounce the terrorist acts of my fellow-Irishmen, however far removed, I cannot say that it's fine to be a terrorist because you have a quarrel with the Jews.<BR/><BR/>Ethical questions aside, it's a losing battle.Brian H.

The man says so, and I am inclined to believe him.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, it is clear that there are Muslims who claim that Islam is not intrinsically violent, and they seem to have a point. The television series makes in clear that Islamic terrorists do <B>not</B> represent the entirety of Islam.<BR/><BR/>And, I have expressed the hope that most Muslims are about as sensible as everyone else: and on the whole prefer to get on with their lives, rather than engage in some sort of war, holy or otherwise.Brian H.
