Name one Islamic Country that has peace, freedom, and equality for all. Otherwise your wasting your time, your friends should cut you off. Every islamic country is a cespool of evil.
Again name one that has all three..... peace, freedom for all (including being able to practice your own religion freely), ad equality for all, you can't. Also, name an islamic country that let's it's citizens criticise their leader's without fear or retribution? You can't because islam is evil, and opresses all who oppose. Thank you for understanding now.edit on 18-11-2012 by omegafire because: (no reason given)edit on 18-11-2012 by omegafire because: (no reason given)edit on 18-11-2012 by omegafire because: (no reason given)

No!! It's not funny
The Enemy Archetype Dr. Anthony Stevens in his excellent book, Archetypes, (1982), to which this article is greatly indebted, points out the survival advantages (until the present era!), of posing enemies:
"The sinister truth is that for communities to thrive, enemies are as necessary as friends. External danger binds the group together, reduces personal animosity, enhances mutual trust, promotes altruism and self sacrifice. A society surrounded by enemies is unified and strong, a society without enemies divided and lax."
This also appears to be true for the majority of mammalian societies, many of whom will defend their particular pieces of real estate to the death. There is also much evidence that man has many of the same instinctual needs to keep outsiders off his territory, and to scrupulously maintain individual distance, especially from strangers, that animals do. Whether he can be considered primarily a territorial species is still hotly debated, however. Certainly by far the greatest number of his wars have been fought over: territory, resources, succession or ideologies, and sometimes for a blend of three or four. Further, ideological wars, it’s been argued, may be seen as another form of territorial struggle. In a sense they seek ownership of the minds of the populace.
Their lives are ennobled, and the highest that is in them, their utmost strength, courage and self-sacrifice is called forth. Inevitably when their society, which is inherently regarded as good, true, compassionate, brave, etc., is threatened (as it almost invariably is rationalized to appear to be), their enemies then become the embodiment of evil. Their war becomes a holy war and by fighting it or helping it they are participating with the Divine in ridding the world of darkness. We must never underestimate the yearning within every individual to further the cause of justice and righteousness and to aid the heroic task of eliminating evil.

Hmm. methinks you've just made three "ex-friends" happy indeed. Glad to see you gone, in case this went over your head.
When it comes to survival, there is no right or wrong, it's survive or not. My money is on the Israelis. The rest of the "arguments" are just bleating from those that think "popularity" has something to do with survival....it doesn't.
The re-election of Obama has inspired the new moves by both sides, not to mention the Iraqis saying the Arab nations should use "oil" in a war against the U.S.?? I seriously doubt, the likelyhood of these events if the election had gone the other way. I may be wrong on that one, but surely not the first one.LOL

Your hatred of Israel is defined because they are "redrawing borders". Yet you give every other nation in the world a pass for redrawing borders because they aren't jewish.
Your weak attempts to backpedal don't relieve your apparent bias and prejudice of Israel.
I've only been on this site a couple years, but I've seen these type of threads fall into the dump countless times because the thin veil of political correctness cannot hide such extremist hate-filled views.
Beezer, I smelled BS in your posts long ago
I posted answer to all the examples you gave in your posts, and you are answering
with this ????

Every nation on the globe has been built on redrawing borders and the blood of the indigenous people. I actually gave you the oppourtunity to give yourself an "out" by agreeing that Israel is no better or worse than any other nation.
But you chose to stay focused on Israel because it is the only nation that is jewish in it's faith.
So yes, I am calling you out as an anti-semite.
And We said after Pharaoh to the Children of Israel, "Dwell in the land, and when there comes the promise of the Hereafter, We will bring you forth in [one] gathering
