No it won't. Quit dreaming.

Muslim Arabs aren't even the genocide champions of the last century..let alone in history.

Hell...not even of the last few decades. They aren't even in the game.

Wake up.

Perhaps Israel should try it first (stop destroying homes of Palestinian families) first before war.

No complaints about hamas oppressing the people in gaza? Firing rockets destroying israeli homes? Ethnically cleansing non-muslims out of gaza?

Or do you only whine when you can try to blame jews?

Yeah, that's as uninformed and clueless a statement as been posted on city-data, perhaps ever.

When Israel stops its illegal settlements and its destruction of Palestinian family homes, I think they will stop losing support from around the world.

The disclosure of the planned settlement construction was described by the justice minister, Tzipi Livni, as a political mistake. Livni was Israel's chief negotiator in the recently collapsed peace talks. She added that the move would "only distance us from the ability to recruit the world against Hamas."

Yes, you're right. Radical Islamic types are generally a bunch of angels and have done nothing violent or unacceptable to any other peoples with different views or beliefs over the course of recent history. To think otherwise is laughable because they just don't rate.

Yeah. A crock.

You really don't get that things from the distant past like the Spanish Inquisition or Vlad Tepes or whatever else is a pretty pathetic defense against what goes on in the Middle East right NOW, do you? And you really don't get that pointing out that your neighbor committed murder is no excuse for you to do so, do you?

Show me another region in the world right now which is that troubled on that large a scale and primarily motivated by religion-based fanaticism. If you can't, then you have no reason to laugh. Well, actually, it wasn't that funny either way. Unless one happens to be sadistic.

Why not? That's your argument against gay marriage.

Bosnia was an irredentist war/genocide based largely on religion. How many died there?

How many have died on the Indian subcontinent in religious wars?

There are religious conflicts in Africa right now with large death tolls. In Rwanda, they murdered more people in a few weeks of genocidal brutality than any Arab Muslims have ever done ...at least that I can remember.

Hell...we invaded Iraq.....that's not terror?

Again, Arab Muslims are lightweights in the grand scheme. Leave them alone and stop Neff on their affairs, and they won't bother you.

Within the world, no China (78M) is the leader. Within the Muslim world then the Ottoman Empire (2.5M) in the last century is the clear winner and within the past few decades Iraq under Saddam (600K).
