"When the missionaries came to Africa, they had the Bible and we had the land. They taught us to pray with our eyes closed. When we opened them, we had the Bible in our hand, and they had the land." – Jomo Kenyatta, fist president of Kenya

The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who remain neutral in times of moral crisis.

Success without honor is an unseasoned dish; it will satisfy your hunger, but it won't taste good. ~Joe Paterno

Hi,

I think you need to remove that quote now----Joe Paterno was the most disgusting man in american college football---he had no clue what that statement meant. If you don't know what I am saying---please try a google search on his name.

I hope everyone understands the importance of the message presented in the two statements below.

Civilizations die from suicide, not by murder.

Not really a one liner.


“[In 1967], Charles De Gaulle held a dialogue with [Saudi] King Faisal. French President Charles De Gaulle told King Faisal that the Jews have a right to Palestine because they lived there 4,000 years ago. King Faisal told him that in that case, France belongs to Rome, because 3,000 years ago, the Romans were in France. Does every country that occupies another country [have a right to it]? Palestine is the country of the Palestinians, who have lived there since the day God created it. If every country belonged to the people who entered it, no country in the world would belong to its people.

“[De Gaulle] said: But some Jews were born in Palestine, and therefore, it is their country. [King Faisal] asked: How many embassies are there in France? [De Gaulle] said: 150 embassies. [King Faisal] asked: “What if every ambassador or embassy worker whose wife gives birth in France were to demand that France belong to him because his children were born in France? France would be lost to you.

“Charles De Gaulle was speechless, and he was so convinced by what King Faisal said that he banned the sale of arms to the Jews in those days.

"And if Hamas believes in expelling the Jews from their homeland, from Israel, then they are also enemies of Islam! Anyone who wants to expel the Jews from their country is my enemy as a Muslim, an enemy of Islam, and enemy of Humanity."

- Ibrahim Sarsur, one of the leaders of the Islamic Movement in Israel. (Sleeping On a Wire: Conversations with Palestinians in Israel, p. 230.)

Solomon2,

Israel is not the country of white jews---it is the country of arab jews---european jews have no right over israel---. Displacing those who owned the land and slaughtering them in the process.

Hi,

So true---like israel---they are strong---why must they compromise---amazing how they forgot when they were the weak and the persecuted----they fought the monster and then became one in the end---.

-amazing how they forgot when they were the weak and the persecuted----they fought the monster and then became one in the end---.

That's an erroneous assessment. Other Pakistanis have traveled to Israel and learned otherwise: link.

Hi,

It is just like all the muslims of the world say that we want to go and live in the promised land---saudi arabia---and kick the saudis out their homeland and others occupy it.

Or the shias say---you know what---we want to go live in iraq and kick the iraqis out.
