Ever Wonder...
Why a nun can
be covered from head to toe
and she's
respected for devoting herself to God,
but when a
Muslimah does that, she's "oppressed"?
Why a jew can
grow a beard and he's just practicing his faith,
and when a Muslim
does that, he's an extremist?
When a western woman stays at
home to look after the house
and kids she's sacrificing
herself and doing good for the household,
but when a Muslim woman does
so, she "needs to be liberated"?
Why is it that when a child
dedicates himself to a subject, he has potential,
and when a child dedicates himself to Islam, he is hopeless?
When a christian kills someone, religion is not mentioned, (i.e. IRA) but
when a Muslim
is charged with a crime, it's Islam that goes to trial?
But then again,
why is it after all that, Islam is still
the fastest
growing religion in the world?

From Mr. S. Batter, Dubai
Let numbers
speak for themselves:
150,000 olive
trees uprooted by Israelis;
15,000
Palestinians injured;
609
Palestinians killed;
2,000
Palestinian houses destroyed;
more than 90
per cent of Palestinians unemployed;
70 per cent
suffer from poverty.
Then there is
the barbed wire surrounding the Gaza Strip
and other Palestinian
areas where three million Palestinians
are subjected
to daily humiliations at Israeli checkpoints.
The F-16's and
the rockets attacks give horrifying statistics:
any comparison
to apartheid is underestimating the Israelis.
Then one may
understand the futile suicide bombers
by those
denied their right to live.
It is those
who have nuclear power and U.S. support
Who need to
understand the value of human life.
