You lost me at the first paragraph. You say ...Mmmm. You lost me at the first paragraph. You say that Sadat was "assassinated by the Muslim Brotherhood". That is simply not true, unless the term "Muslim Brotherhood" is a term you use to label all Islamic groups in Egypt. There are many Islamic groups in Egypt. Some of them are violent, some are not. To talk about them as if they are all one group does not do justice to the issue. Granted, the Muslim Brotherhood is bad. That doesn't mean they killed Sadat.<br /><br />Sadat was assassinated by members of "Al-Jama'a Al-Islamiya" or "The Islamic Group", which is not part of the Muslim Brotherhood. To claim otherwise affects the credibility of the article!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-9816400927608667072011-02-21T10:26:49.989-05:002011-02-21T10:26:49.989-05:00nothing is permanent in the universal sense, but a...nothing is permanent in the universal sense, but a treaty in which vast amounts of land is exchanged for a temporary truce is a terrible dealDaniel Greenfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13575285186581875356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-33905110932609123602011-02-16T00:30:12.438-05:002011-02-16T00:30:12.438-05:00Daniel,

It is a sad fact of life, that it is the Koran and its edicts that prevents Muslim societies to develop in a sane manner. The Koran prevents a proper education of men and women. The Koran prevents them from making peace with Jews, and Christians, and Hindus, and Buddhists, and Atheists, and Animists, and even Aliens, when they come a calling.<br /><br />The Koran is most certainly a millstone round the neck of those who believe in it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-14536052854663633772011-02-15T19:58:24.623-05:002011-02-15T19:58:24.623-05:00"Arafat did not cease being a terrorist when ..."Arafat did not cease being a terrorist when he shook Rabin's hand in the Rose Garden."<br /><br /><br />I'm surpised Arafat didn't give Rabin the mafia kiss of death on the cheek.<br /><br />I doubt the Muslim world--and the secular people in Arab lands forced to act Muslim out of pressure and force--will ever improve itself.<br /><br />I just don't see the Arab/Muslim world overcoming its violent past and suddenly forming functioning societies. <br /><br />Re the title of the article--right on the mark.

To keep ME oil flowing for the rest of us, Israel has been pressured to turn every hard-won victory into defeat. Following each war, out of sheer desperation, Israel has repeatedly made the same bad deal with the devil--the U.S. and the Arab Lobby. It goes like this: We’re all going to pretend the war just waged against Israel by its neighbors didn’t really happen. Israel is going to refrain from using her victory to improve her safety and security, and we’re going to apply convoluted, dishonest and even ridiculous logic to justify the aggression of Israel’s neighbors against her. If we save the Arabs and Muslims from their worst nightmare--having to live with the consequences of their aggression--they will keep the oil, and our oil profits, flowing. Instead of Israel vanquishing her enemies and rendering them incapable of initiating more wars against her, the U.S. will sell Israel the weapons she needs to fend off these aggressors, while they conduct a war of attrition, year after year, against her. <br /><br />The glue that held these deals together for the West until now was nothing more than perception——dark magic, really. Like the Camp David Accords, U.S. agreements with Israel were not about peace, or what was right; they’ve always been about oil for the rest of the West.Liz Wagnerhttp://tarrytown-ny.actforamericachapters.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-6930117427252241632011-02-15T07:59:54.935-05:002011-02-15T07:59:54.935-05:00And now... whammo!

Islam is a parasite living off the west, it produces nothing of value.<br /><br />Were the west to end its vacillation and incoherent response to Islam's physical, financial and cultural jihad, Islam would be forced into living within its borders and would, in less than a century, self-destruct. <br /><br />Just continued cultural exposure to the west and the inevitable transition away from oil, 20-50 yrs away, would ensure that eventual outcome. <br /><br />The west of course will do none of these things, liberal dogma making that a non-starter.<br /><br />So there is only one way that the Muslim world is going to embrace peace. <br /><br />Some variation on Wretchard's <a href="http://belmontclub.blogspot.com/2003/09/three-conjectures-pew-poll-finds-40-of.html" rel="nofollow"><b>Three Conjectures</b></a> is unavoidable given the psychological and geo-political dynamics.Geoffrey Britainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01663224962346593872noreply@blogger.com
