I think that some of your commentators with such firm beliefs and views about Islam and Muslims should show some humility and carry out an introspection into their own people's history and behaviour. There might be a lot wrong with Muslims and Islam but these failings are not exclusively theirs. Their is no human grouping that is without its failings, the challenge is to work together towards a more positive and constructive world to build a better world for all both here and in the hereafter!

Ever wondered why 200 million Germans and Europeans hated us Jews and feared the Jewish threat? Is it mere innate anti-semitism? Do people really hate the Jew for no logical reason? Do those who question Israeli war crimes really want to gas us? We Jews dont like to admit it, but people hate us for our mis-deeds and actions, not merely for being jews. Others really dont care what religion one is. But most decent people get really angry if we Jews are seen controlling American Senators and Congress with pro-Israeli lobbying which endangers American interests, which brings terrorism down on us all, or we force America to vetoe UN criticism of Israeli army war crimes against unarmed, defenceless Palestininan families.
Some fantical jews who work in US Jewish lobby groups are getting us decent - but silent - jews a bad rap. All it takes for evil to succeed is for decent jews to keep silent.

To zahra: no - and don't be so presumptuous.
You read some history and then comment on what I actually said.
I suspect you never will, and will not accept history because it contradicts your brainwashing.

Joe, Manchester,

TO Joe read a book on the prophet Mohammed pbuh,and then please make a comment after that. thank you.

zahra, london,

Andrew Jones' comments beg the very questions Dr.Jiti Khanna raises. His reference to Dr.Khanna's ethnicity is stupid. A host of others who warn of "ideological conflicts between Islam and the West" - do their ethnicity matter to Andrew Jones ? The jury is still out on how much further "the West" will go to defend "its values", such as "free speech" in the strengthening face of militant Islam, right in their streets. Terrorists are impressed by Western values, are they? Where does Guantanamo Bay fit in, Mr. Jones, in Western value scale ? Is it possible that the Bay may have achieved better results than your values of free speech?!! Grow up, Jones. The world is changing and not in favour of free speech, sire.

The problem is - one of them - the most racist, aggrressive and offensive aspects of Islam are found at its very heart. The terrorists who insist they are the "true" Muslims are technically correct. Pakistan so-called scholars were ideologically correct by honouring Bin Laden: its consistent with the historic and ideological heart of this religion.

It's well documented in the Koran and Hadiths what the attitudes and behaviour of Mohammed was like, and in 2007 he would be convicted for war crimes and paedophilia.

And, he is regarded by all Muslims as a perfect and unquestionable example of human behaviour.

Joe, Manchester,

Steve Vickers, why specifically are you a recovering Evangelical Christian. What values in particular do you admire about Islam? Would it be the subjugation of Jews, Christians and other 'infidels' (either by conversion or dhimmitude)as Islam must be dominant. Do you have your facts right on Israel? If you say Israel has not complied with UN Resolutions aren't you expressing a double standard as Palestinians and many Muslims don't recognise Israel's right to exist though sanctioned by the UN. Why the fuss over 1967 - why is it okay to be occupied by Jordan, not a squeak of protest, but a crime to be 'occupied' Jews.

Fascinating to see Dr Jiti Khanna , a Hindu talk about equal rights. He doesnt mention the wondrous Hindu caste system nor the absurdutiy of "the west" (sic) restricting the right to freedom of speech of muslim scholars it doesnt like to defend its values of freedom of speech.
