if he is comparing between a head of state working on a health care bill for his state people to the colonial powers try to occupy and take control over... Actually the comparison was to the agreements between the British and the Hashimite leader Husayn ibn Ali, Sharif of Mecca - Jamal claims it didn't represent the "will of the people" Because apparently only Jamal speaks for the people who were living at that time. The Ottoman Empire was going to cease to exist. They were on the wrong side of World War 1, and they were already IN DECLINE . The Fall of the Ottoman Empire can be attributed to the failure of its economic structure. Also, the Empire's communication technology was not developed enough to reach all territories. The introduction of increased cultural rights, civil liberties and a parliamentary system during the Tanzimat proved too late to reverse the nationalistic and secessionist trends that had already been set in motion since the early 19th century. Jamal is basically grasping at straws here. And sadly, you got lost somehow. According to Jamal, the agreements did not represent the will of the people... so does that mean it is actually a good thing, then, that the British seem to have broken the agreement? The people didn't want it?

That doesn't seem like a yes or no answer to me. And I quote, "To answer your question: NO, I do not think it is OK to separate people by religion or gender. Sharia law does. What about you?" Can you not read the "no" in capital letters? And you are accusing others of having "a complete breakdown of logic" ? Strange. It's funny how you constantly make accusation of what you are most guilty of.

dispossession and murder of people based entirely on their race The Palestinians were displaced, but not for racial reasons. See what happened in 1948 HERE. See what happened in 1967 HERE. You actually have a lot in common with the KKK, hating Jews and all.

Do you think that Islam is superior to Judaism? Do you think that is why Israel must be destroyed? Do you think that some people are inferior, like rodents? Did you say that "the Quran and Islamic jurisprudence constitutes a legitimate legal system that forbids genetics from entering into legal decisions. This is not the case for Judaism." ? Did you defend saying that Jews are descended from Pigs and Apes by saying "So I'm American and I call you an asshole. I guess that reflects on the American constitution. It requires people to differentiate between shit and brains." ? Are you trying to say that your racism is OK because it supposedly excludes "genetics"? Quran and Islamic jurisprudence constitutes a legitimate legal system Is it true that non-Muslims do not have the same legal position as Muslims under Sharia law? What about women? To answer your question: NO, I do not think it is OK to separate people by religion or gender. Sharia law does. What about you?

Hmmm interesting... the Nazis also liked to compare people to rodents. Daily Presidential Tracking Poll The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 30% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-two percent (42%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -12 Support for Repeal of Health Care Plan Up To 58% Three weeks after Congress passed its new national health care plan, support for repeal of the measure has risen four points to 58%. That includes 50% of U.S. voters who strongly favor repeal. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely voters nationwide finds 38% still oppose repeal, including 32% who strongly oppose it. 34% Say U.S. Heading in Right Direction Sixty-two percent (62%) of all voters now say the nation is heading down the wrong track The U.S. is swinging back to the right. The House and Senate will see many more Conservatives this November, and see the Democrats lose the majorities. In 2012 a Conservative will probably win the White House.

You should be "Senior Shalom" LMAO! Mine is from Star Wars, so there. Are you going to email or call Obama to tell him his healthcare bill is illegal?

All their agreements are illegal, simply because didn't reflect the wishes of the natives. Do you have some sort of polls taken at the time. Then Obama's healthcare bill is illegal, because it doesn't represent the will of the people of America. Right? (Don't worry, the bill will be repealed after the people vote in November). I avoid the agenda-driven people like Juan Cole in order to prefer factual sites that are as neutral as possible, such as news or time-lines. Top Ten reasons? Sounds like something from the David Letterman show. Really though, what Juan Cole does is commentary, and he seems to be wrong more than he is right, in fact he's a clown. The Jews DO have a historical connection to the land, I don't care to prove that, but it says a lot about people who deny these obvious things.... some of these types even tried to pre-date the Jewish connection to the land by claiming to be descended from Caananites,,, now that was funny, and completely ridiculous. I realize it's part of your agenda, in a similar way that denying the Holocaust is part of the same agenda for some of you. I don't care to take up for what crazy old Ben Gurion may or may not have said (because it makes no difference). I know he wasn't very encouraging at the time of the 1967 War. Chief of Staff Rabin, who was under tremendous pressure, met with him after Egypt and the Arab states had begun threatening Israel, Ben Gurion gave no support, made accusations and criticized, and on the following day Rabin was incapacitated temporarily by nicotine poisoning, massive fatigue or a nervous breakdown. Back to this divestment... while should Israel not have airplanes or anything else?

"And Israel chose to be the democratic home for Jews" You mean the illegal settlers... Well... the settlements considered illegal began after the 1967 war. Those settlers are considered illegal by some. But obviously you meant people who came to live in Israel before that - those people were not illegal, they followed all the immigration laws at the time. Apparently you are trying to deny the Jews appreciable historical connection the land, but that doesn't matter. What matters is this: Great Britain and France, with the assent of Russia, made an agreement for the dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire during World War I. The agreement led to the division of Turkish-held Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, and Palestine into various French and British-administered areas. Some historians have pointed out that the agreement conflicted with pledges already given by the British to the Hashimite leader Husayn ibn Ali, Sharif of Mecca, who was about to lead an Arab revolt in the Hejaz against the Ottoman rulers on the understanding that the Arabs would eventually receive a much more important share of the territory won. Then the next thing that happened: The Balfour Declaration of 1917 This was long before our time. If the native Palestinians chose to be Hamas or Fatah it is their country, not an invader Did you know that Arabs invaded Palestine in 638 AD and conquered it from the Byzantines? Anyway, today most of the Israelis were born in Israel. But yes, there was displacement in 1948 and 1967 which everyone knows and a solution must be found. Reality tells you that Palestinians are not going to be able to take over Israel, either by violence or by becoming Israelis and voting. Everyone must come to grips with reality, and stop hating. I make the point that the Palestinians can't even stop fighting each other. Here is some more history: History of Israel: Key events

In the 1920s, Italian fascists adopted the Roman salute to symbolize their claim to have revitalized Italy on the model of ancient Rome. This was quickly copied by the German Nazis, creating the Nazi salute. The similarity to the Bellamy salute led to confusion, especially during World War II. From 1939 until the attack on Pearl Harbor, detractors of Americans who argued against intervention in World War II produced propaganda using the salute to lessen those Americans' reputations. - JUST LIKE SEAN You are a propagandist Sean, misrepresenting the facts, twisting the truth, and lying. The Nazis borrowed it from us. Uhh, no they did not. They were emulating the Italian fascists who were copying the Romans. Once again Sean is debunked. Making all Palestinians collectively guilty for the actions of a man widely hated by the Palestinians of his time... Are you talking about Mohammad Amin al-Husayni? He was not hated, be was a prominent leader in Jerusalem. He succeeded his brother Kamil al-Husayni as the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. Husayni was born to the influential al-Husayni family of Jerusalem. He also had a nephew named Abd al-Qadir al-Husayni, son of Musa al-Husayni, mayor of Jerusalem (1918-1920) and chairman of the Palestinian Arab Action Committee and leader of the Palestinian national movement from 1922 until 1934. Abd al-Qadir al-Husayni was a prominent military leader during the Palestinian Civil War. More of Sean's lies have been debunked.

These Muslim states you're talking about are Muslim states by choice And Israel chose to be the democratic home for Jews. The Arabs were also offered a home in Palestine, but they CHOSE to refuse and to try to destroy Israel and take it all - they failed. The Jewish State did not CHOOSE to be attacked. And so now you are trying to explain Islam's superiority to Judaism? Fascism much? You are correct that Islam certainly seems to have many more political elements to it - or at least more conflicts. The Muslims can't even get along with each other... Hamas vs. Fatah... Salafi vs. Hamas... on and on.

I suppose that what it comes down to is whether or not you believe that Islamists are the majority, or a minority. I have to completely disagree with that. Suppose that you and I are members of a large global religion called Jillian. And imagine that there are some Jillianists who commit murder and horrific acts in the name of our religion. Would it matter what percentage of the Jillians were Jillianists? And should you and I be bitter and hateful towards anyone who thought badly of Jillians? Would those innocent people be to blame? What would OUR responsibilities be?

You're right, there is an issue of differentiating between terrorists and non-terrorist Muslims. But who is the major onus upon? Who bears the burden? People who view Muslims badly or are afraid of them are innocent, they are not "racist". Muslims killed thousands of people on 911 with hijacked airplanes (not to mention boxcutters), Muslims murdered people in London with bombs, Muslims murdered people on the trains in Spain...and many many other acts... all for the glory of Allah, all for jihad holy war, all in the name of Islam. Muslims release videos of statements from suicide bombers praising Allah, they release videos of Muslims beheading helpless people while they chant "Allahu Akbar" and Muslims release videos making threats of death and destruction on a regular basis. So it is completely rational not to like or to be afraid of Muslims. It is not some sort of irrational bigotry, as so many try to make it into around here.
