  • Sharpening Contradictions: Why al-Qaeda attacked Satirists in Paris

      Don't a large number of Muslims joining ISIS come from France? If so, then your argument not so strong as you might believe it to be. Previously, death threats were also made to those who defamed the Prophet.

      Assume Iran get nukes. No matter what the US and Israel do or do not do, Egypt and Saudi Arabia will quickly plan on obtaining their own.

      You must live in a world that I do not know I see over and over that Jews and Israel are equal in the contempt shown all too often

      Sir--
      If you want to use history: Jews were on that land as long if not longer than Muslims (Arabs). If you prefer not to go to the past, The Ottomans and then the British controlled the land, a land that had no nations. The UN granted room for two states and the Arabs turned down the offer.
      Israel is a Jewish state--that is, open to all Jews; but it is also a state tyhat allows Christians, Druze, Muslims...how many
      Jew are allowed in most of the Muslim states?
      Anti-semitism goes back to early Christianity, and the Koran llsltates clearly that Jews should be killed.
