Anyone who imagines that terrestrial concerns account for Muslim terrorism must answer questions of the following sort: Where are the Tibetan Buddhist suicide bombers? The Tibetans have suffered an occupation far more brutal, and far more cynical, than any that Britain, the United States, or Israel have ever imposed upon the Muslim world. Where are the throngs of Tibetans ready to perpetrate suicidal atrocities against Chinese noncombatants? They do not exist. What is the difference that makes the difference? The difference lies in the specific tenets of Islam. This is not to say that Buddhism could not help inspire suicidal violence. It can, and it has (Japan, World War II). But this concedes absolutely nothing to the apologists for Islam. As a Buddhist, one has to work extremely hard to justify such barbarism. One need not work nearly so hard as a Muslim. If you doubt whether the comparison is valid, ask yourself where the Palestinian Christian suicide bombers are. Palestinian Christians also suffer the indignity of the Israeli occupation. This is practically a science experiment: take the same people, speaking the same language, put them in the same horrendous circumstance, but give them slightly different religious beliefs--and then watch what happens. What happens is, they behave differently.
(I take it that you support the previous argument so I'm going to answer it as if it were yours)

Since you claim religion and the study of the Koran is everything Muslims' lives evolve around and that religion is about hatred, how come the globe isn't at a constant war with them during the past 15 centuries and in fact the first and last expansive "islamic holy war" ended with the conquering of spain more than 6-7 centuries ago?

Why had the cry for jihad not been heard until the late 1940's when the israeli military takeover of Palestine took place?Why did they not amass a huge army from every muslim state back then and move to strike back at the infidels?

Until the 90's why did every single muslim country have peaceful relationships with the west, including even the most authoritarian states like Saudi Arabia?

Last but not least why even in dictatorships like Saddam Hussein's Iraq were religious discriminations obsolete, allowing even a christian like Hussein's minister of foreign affairs Tarik Aziz assume government positions?

Wars and hostile situations are caused by people! And people in the scale of nations don't just wake up one day picking up their holy book and go "hey...this here says "kill". Never noticed it before..."
antikoala Reviewed by antikoala on . Is this Occultic Imagery at Guantanamo Bay (aka Camp Delta?) I have been meaning to post this on here for a bit, but SINCE I WAS ON A LITTLE VACATION I COULDN'T! Check out this picture of Guantanamo Bay aka Camp Delta (sounds fascist right there!). In the center of the picture, it has the Pentagon with an interesting Pentagram inside with 5 circles on each point which looks like occultic imagery. This is very interesting to me as I like to study the occult. I have heard though that this is just a seal of the Military Police, but correct me if I am Rating: 5
