Arab Intellectuals discussing martyrdom and arab women

[nevernohijab]

This is sick.

It is no less sick than Hitler.

[Campineiroamericano]

About this video, I can only say the host is hot.

[arklowrockz]

Gotta love those wacky Arabs!!! You'll notice the boys didnt herself get a word in edgeways!!!!

[vickypeace2000]

If martyrdom is such a sacred mission, why are you, old retard, leaving this honour to others (who are basically young poor and uneducated)?

[123catharina123]

Speaking as a mother, the thought of losing my child to martyrdom is horrific. Arab women would rather eat dirt than not breastfeed? Women know that breastfeeding is the healthiest nutrition for babies. How could men know so much about being a woman or a mother? Surprised to see a female interviewer but not surprised that all she could do was nod and murmur her approval. If she disagreed what would happen to her?

[ABAisSCIENCE]

123catharina123, you may be speaking as a mother, but mothers of young children are blowing themselves up leaving their children without a mother in Palestine.

Islam means submit and those fools are determined to do it to the death of them.

Read Isaiah 63 if you don't believe me. God Himself will have to go in there into their regions and make them taste death until they don't want it anymore.

[k1a1t1h1y1]

this is propaganda at its finest, yeah, right the mothers don't cry for there sons but tears of joy, bullshit.

It's an act of a savagrey and ignorance however desperate and they are in a intolerable situation.

[Tihbialdunav]

The man doesn't shut up and teh woman only makes funny little noises...That sums up Arab women's rights...

[menkkari]

Islam gives the right to pay back by violence, the right to take many wifes and a myriad of concubines as a war booty, the superiority over the women, great security for the men against charges etc. In addition to this, it also gives rhetoric ways to pose as noble-minded to addle the brain of those who can be deceived. In this way, Islam is very well suited to many men and especially old-time war lords as Mohammed but it has nothing godly.

[menkkari]

"When a martyr embarks upon martyrdom, he thinks of nothing but his homeland."

Yeah right, in fact he dreams of sexual pleasure with 72 maidens of the paradise.

[sadtranz]

Well if these are the Arab Intellectuals no wonder the rest are so deranged.

Sad really gave a lot to the world before they became besotted with mohammed and his sick cult of islam, how can anyone wish to follow this perfect man he was a self motivated man ie he made the religion to suit his own motives ie you can have 4 wifes but i can have 14 i want to marry a 6 year old it's ok the arch angel said so , what a farce

[stylovore]

...because their child "served" their homeland and died upholding the values we hold so dear.

Sure, I'll be the first one to support the comments that martyrdom is a fucked up concept. And I will also plainly say it, I don't like what Islam stands for, and do believe our democratic western values are at risk from Islamic proliferation. But the concept of dying for a cause you believe in isn't exactly limited to the middle east, and almost every comment on here talks about it like it is.

[stylovore]

Don't mean to be a party pooper, but is Islam's message of martyrdom really that much different than the label we give our "heroes" who die for our country? Any US military member who's KIA is automatically branded a hero because he died protecting America. When a serviceman dies in the line of duty, he and his family (especially the mother) are labeled as those who gave the "ultimate sacrifice" for their country. Sure, the family grieves, but they can also be proud cuz their child (cont...)

[squeezemylittletoe]

This is amazing.... the sick fuck is boasting that the best the Arab world has been able to come up - its CONTRIBUTION - is suicde bombing...

Islam is disgusting.... thank god the peadophile worshippers are still in the minotity...and cant invent shit... useless, brainwashed, sick cretins... the worlds waste... FUCK ISALM

[yourlocalstuntman]

Theres a contradiction if ever there was one..."Arab Intellectuals"  LOL These idiots dont realize...No one wants your desert homeland!! What a sick twisted people.

[oohrahgrl]

Sending women and children to blow themselves up in your place is noble? Coward and typical backwards thinking Muslim.

[scheix]

who are those people? they are no intellectuals!! on one of the most corrupt state tv in the arab world. dont try to show muslims are monsters. i now allot of them and they all seem to be human beings.

[liquidhead]

these cats look pretty well-fed to me. they don't seem to be in a spectacular hurry to martyrdom themselves. hmmmm...

[islandluc]

The quran is outdated. the sharia law is outdated. Take a look at 10 commandment in the bible, they still applicable in every country. If anyone follow the 10 commandments, You will never break any law in any country in the face of the planet. The bible is the only words of god because it is applicable in every society. If you disagree with me, tell me whats not applicable in the 10 commandments. Jesus is the only son of god.

[angelbaby78]

insanity!

[Pharaoh714]

Not all arabs are muslims, and not all muslims are arabs.

Hi , Im and Egyptian Christian

[elpcon]

I hope you think different from these mad world

[sososayma]

ok calm down everyone they are talking about martyrs who get killed while protecting their countries, not those who hijack planes to plant them in some buildings

[analucuta]

That is the most stupid, idiotic, shameful and ignorant talk I will ever see in my lifetime. Just IDOIOTIC.

[HectorLex]

damn arab nationalists

[1400yoJoke]

The difference between islam & all other religions, is that, when muslims commit atrocities, they are only doing exactly what the unholy koran tells them to.

' fight, kill, behead, rape, beat '.

' take not as friend, Jews or Christians '. etc.

- all these commands are in the koran.

People who normally do evil things,- do so, because they are bad people, and they break Gods commandments in doing so.

but muslims are doing what 'allah' tells them to do.

Thats why islam is evil...

[kakahass]

@1400yoJoke you obviously have not read the crappy bible and the atrocities it orders people to take on each other....it is far more violent than the quran- so at least get your facts right otherwise you are nothing but a joke...

[1400yoJoke]

In Sweden alone, - 80% of rape is committed by the 4% muslim population, - all against western women.

muhammad himself broke every one of Gods commandments; - He was a LIAR, A THIEF, A CHILD-RAPIST, A MURDERER, HE COVETED OTHER MENS WIVES (& DAUGHTERS).....etc.

muhammad was not a man of God but of satan, and he has led billions of ignorant, gullible muslims down the road to hell..

Convert to anything except islam, ! - save yourself before it's too late !!

[TvvoTr3es]

@1400yoJoke That's not really true about Sweden. And for the Muhammad part, show me where you found this information.

[MaCh1N3niqqa]

@1400yoJoke ok ill convert to athiesm will that make you happy?

all religions are bullshit. the bible preaches the same shit as the quran muslims just happen to have the largest group of members who actually read and follow their book. Christ was a great man god is just a a petty, unjust control freak, a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.

[1400yoJoke]

The Koran is full of contradictions ; -

'Drvic' says; -

"Chapter 5 verse who evcer killsa human being it is as if you have killed the whole of humanity. "

But the koran also says; -

"kill those who leave islam, behead those who insult islam " etc.

Muhammad himself ordered hundreds of killings, including women & children.

Muhammad broke almost every one one of Gods commandments,

And muslims call him a 'prophet' ? a role model ?

No wonder muslims are so despised & disrespected.

[zetigrey]

We kuffars are amazed at Poobah's creation. He has progressively changed perfectly sane cultures and people and turned them into nutcases. Mighty Mo's probably the greatest marketer in history. Even in death, his brain FART is still a thorn in the flesh of so many people

[zetigrey]

Fifty-seven Muslim majority countries have an average of ten universities each for a total of less than 600 universities for 1.4 billion people; India has 8,407 universities, the U.S. has 5,758. From within 1.4 billion Muslims Abdus Salam and Ahmed Zewail are the only two Muslim men who won a Nobel Prize in physics and chemistry (Salam pursued his scientific work in Italy and the UK , Zewail at California Institute of Technology). Dr Salam in his home country is not even considered a Muslim.

[SouthParkFan2142]

Palestine isnt arab land... it belonged to the ottoman empire (The Turks) when the empire fell it was divided into areas, the Jews have every right its not arab land

[ADsFiinesT]

I liked your first few words on how Palestinians are trying to resist the Israeli occupation, but why do you have to be so insultting and disrespectful to the Arabs as a whole by calling us backward animals. Im an Arab and yet you dont know me.

[k1a1t1h1y1]

Ignorance perpetuated by more ignorance, it's harder to live than to die.

[dwizkerz]

Martyrdom a soul sacrificed? On the contrary, a martyr is led down a path of suffering that purges and perfects the soul untill the body can become a witness of perfect service.

[oratorspeaker]

intellectuals? i'm gonna puke!

[fismail07]

Another example of the contemporary Arab societies schizophrenic mind set! I feel nauseated just by listening to this mental puke...

[pizzapie21]

so blow urselfs up and let all arabs blow themselves up by killing each other like in iraq. wherever there is war, arabs are always involved.

[newalbion]

What a load of crap they spew. Their minds are twisted. I think they they have confused "intelligence with "ignorance".

[Lav34me]

did i really read "INTELLECTUAL" in the title?

dont you have to have intelligence to qualify?

[MIAMI1996]

Intelligence doesn´t seem to make any difference to these people,they do whatever they feel like as long as they claim their rights to blow us up......I don´t know where this man came from but he should crawl right back and never show his ugly face to human kind ever again!Who THE FUCK wants OR need to listen to this idiot LOL He certainly gives an entirely new meaning to The Word "INTELLECTUALS"............

[mjdoyza]

I thought these four were going to blow themselves up at the end of the interview. I only gave it four stars.

[Crusaderdeluxe]

our opponent is trying to turn us into them.

[cycimian]

Well you have to understand the small dick inteligance, its also a condition of total ignorance by homosexual Mulahs who have hated women and always persicuted them through out that cultures history.

Father you done yet can i get up now?

[SoakyBeaver]

Are there even Arab intellectuals who disagree with the Islam?

[genie9696]

If we threw out all 270 religous beliefs (which is man made) and based ourselves according to the basic laws of humanity no one in their right mind should want to hurt, feel pain, kill or want to die. Instead we would want to just be happy, love each other, and feel the joy of life together as a whole. Its just amazing what humans have evolved into since the early stages of cavemen....How did we get to this?

[shankyxyz]

as long as these dudes say they do it for their motherland, i think its a fine. there is a fine line between martyrdom and jihad, and as long as they dont have things like 72 virgins and allahs beckoning or the mullah's encouragement, i think it is patriotic.

[causeican78]

so fucked up. what the hell is wrong with these people.

[Vogter2100]

I am breathless and I just cant stop laughing. Another arab comedian hits You Tube. Unbelievable that these arab comedians arent hired by Comedy Central.

They crack me up!

A Dane

[ekw]

I can't remember when I've heard so much b.s. in my life. These men perpetuate the cult of suicide by claiming it as the most sacred of duties, however, none of them seem to be dead. Perhaps they are already as spiritually elevated as they need to get.

[badaouiah]

How many sons did these speakers loose for istishhad? And how many their wives gave willingly for the watan?

They are Bayyaiin Haki (vendors of talk) which means I talk and sell you the idea and you give you children to die for the country.

[mcb00]

People that blames Jews for all the calamities of the world are so similar to those that blame all Muslims for terrorism...prejudism is ignorant, and it is promoted by propagada from American and Muslim fanatics and psychopaths. Too bad most people don't have the critical skills and the moral integrity to know better than to follow politicians blindly and hate a whole community

[mcb00]

PS: I'm Catholic but I'm educated, and I acknowledge the mistakes of my religion AND the mistakes of Islam, such as Islamic terrorism...as for martyrdom, it is terrorism at its best...if you want to be a martyr fight soldiers, not children and innocent civilians...you make a pitiful image of Islam and Muslims.

[mcb00]

Djzaki: Christianity also expanded through violence. Did you forget the violent expansion of the Roman empire, the Cruzades, the colonization of the Americas with forced convertion to Christianity...Most Americans have no concept of history and geopolitics, and you're a perfect example. Put the Bible aside and read some history sweety.

[mcb00]

The people of MEMRI Tv pick and choose parts of TV shows and other media in order to portray an image of Islam as a radical and extremist religion...but this does not represent all or most Muslims...it is pure propaganda promoted by fanatic Christians and the Israeli lobby in the US. I'm a Christian and I don't sympathize with Evangelical fanatics.

[malagent]

Without regard for religion, Israel, or any of that - This is sick. The simple fact that MEMRI could find the videos to pick and choose is a sign that there is something wrong. Regardless of the intentions of MEMRI, the fact is that TV in much of the Mid East promotes killing yourself and blowing other innocent people up. You want to talk about propaganda, just watch TV from Mid East for a while. Then tell me it's not propaganda in and of itself.

[mcb00]

Malagent, I did not deny the Islamic propaganda, but there's a lot of propaganda in the US too and the aim is the same: to justify killing civilians in order to advance political goals. You're shocked by martyrdom, but you're not shocked about the hundreds of thousands of civilians that have been slaughtered in the ME by the US in the last 4 decades. [to be cont.]

[mcb00]

[cont.]These civilians have been murdered, their countries devastated...And for what? To control oil so big business can continue making big bucks and spoiled Americans can drive SUVs cross country with cheap oil on July 4st. That is as much terrorism as wht the jihadists do. It's easy to point the finger and call the other sick and uncivilized and barbaric, while your barbarism is worse, but comes disguised by power, distorted accounts of history, and tons of propaganda.

[malagent]

cont.. Nowhere in the U.S. are cartoons used to teach children to kill others without cause. Children exposed to this material ultimately become instruments of death. In the U.S. there are still opposing viewpoints & at least some critical objective reasoning. I teach respect for instance rather than hate. I'm am not a murderer either.

[jihad4life21]

Jews did 9-11 and most other terrorist attacks that they blame on the Arabs. If I had a chance, I'd literally massacre 100000 Jews with my own HANDS!!!

[malagent]

Which makes you a terrorists and proves the point of this video.

[mcb00]

(cont)Malagent,Do they teach you in school that over half of US territory was captured by starting a war with Mexico? Or that the CIA trained and funded Al Qaeda, and actively supported murderous dictators like Saddam, the Sha of Iran, Pinochet, the terrorists in Central America, etc? The US has a long history of engaging in war for hegemony and profit. It's not every war, but even if it's ONE, killing civilians for money is as terrorism as what the jihadists do.

[malagent]

mcb- As an American I have never been killed, imprisoned or tortured for opposing my government. Nor do I know anyone who has. I dissent often as I believe is my duty to do so if I disagree. If America were as bad as so many people say why do so many come here? How many people leave U.S. for Iran, Cuba or Venezuela?

[americancabbage]

jihad4life. Your an Anti-Semitest and a hate monger. Go get a life you Holocaust denying Nazi.

[mcb00]

Malagent, 1-do you not think that many Muslim parents and clerics and teachers also teach respect? Or do you think most are violent and ignorant? Do you realize that your views are at least partially prejudiced?

2-In the US there are no such cartoons but you have more subtle ways of promoting unjustified violence, such as distorted news, twisted history lessons, and evangelical pastors and politicians twisting the truth to justify violence against Muslim civilians

[malagent]

mcb- 1. I have seen both. I make no claims that all Muslims do such things. I think Muslims who dont, should be angry at the ones that do. EVERYONE is at least partially biased, we are humans and it is impossible escape that. 2. Is far different than state run media telling people to strap bombs to themselves and kill civilians. We have choice here, I decided to learn as much as possible as I think everyone should.

[malagent]

mcb00- Of course all cultures use persuasive media to one extent or another. I do not like or want war, however, I understand the necessity of such. I can not & will not agree that the U.S. is trotting about killing solely for oil & profit. Were this the case there would be much more war.

[djzaki]

Martydon is stupid... this is where islam fails..Jesus died for all humans.. whithout harming anyone.. Mohammed killed his way and forced conversion.. Martyrdom releases chaos.. killing mass amounts of people for what? what do ytou gain from killing innocent people? you create even more unrest...

Kol video de Khara.. ala tool

[HardcoreHorrorChick]

WE are taught to live our lives as "GOD fearing Christians" to value life,and preserve life,that it is a gift from God. They are taught to destroying the life that God gave them is the way to Paridise! and to take as many lives as possible that will bring them up further in martyrdome!

[judiletamit]

wtf! i mean, are they 4 real?

they are openly admitting suicide bombings.

whenever you make a argument about islam, then they will blame the western media 4 it.

well over here you have proud "intellectual" muslims openly aproving terrorism!

[xavierrolling]

Sophisticated Arab Talk!!!

[sajugj]

Real martyrdom is obtained by dying for the sake of all humanity, not a select group of people. The people in the the video start off with an idea that seems nice but twist it into something mistaken. Suppose a suicide bomber exploded himself in the midst of these intellectuals. Is he a martyr? A real intellectual discussion encourages nonviolent disagreement.

[HardcoreHorrorChick]

For Gods sake let them all be martyers! let them kill themselves!,and when everyone is dead for Allah, then we will all have peace on earth!

[AzaelVI]

I really wish the people in these videos would read a respond to the comments made about them. I doubt that would ever happen, hypocritical cowards.

[AzaelVI]

This senselessness will never end until Arabs learn to love their children more than they hate Jews and Americans.

[AzaelVI]

Yet another shining example of Islam's message of love, peace and understanding. The sad thing is all of these young impressionable children being feed this crap. "Go kill yourself and become a martyr so that you may be closer to God" what a bunch of crap. Ever notice that none of these lecturers of hate are willing to step up and take one for their religion? No, get the young ignorant teenager who's been brought up from day one to believe anything these a holes say.

[freedom2express]

Just search Google for "Honor crimes in X" where X is any Muslim country, then you'll notice that honor crimes, polygamy, and wife beatings are ONLY legal in Muslim countries. For e.g., if a woman is raped, it is very legal for her husband or brother to kill her in X (where X must be a Muslim country). I think it's better for Muslim women to seek asylum in the West when they are raped. This way, western laws could protect them

[Turandot29]

I love how this blowhard enthusiastically endorses martyrdom yet, there he sits. "Do as I say; not as I do."

Put your money where your mouth is, asshole. Get fitted for a vest. I bet you will find eternal oblivion instead of 72 houris. Surprise!!!

[dammhaith]

oh they make it so so romantic dont they, the idea nad notion of taking your life in order to better that of your country. but the reality of strapping on a vest packed with explosives and blowing yourself up and innocent people is bullshit, they are cowards and stupid shits. they no nothing of what a martyr is, fucking brainwashed maggots. why dont these pricks martyr themselves if it is so fucking great.

[mikesless]

Uch! I'm so sick of them with their "martyrs" and their sucicide bombings.

[dussault17]

Let's not blame Islam, blame the idiots who misinterpret it. I've finished my masters in world theology and Islam teaches that whoever kills a Jew or a Christian might as well be killing a muslim. So yes, according to God/Jehovah/Allah, they go straight to hell. It is an act of hate.

[spepper]

Then could somebaody PLEASE let those nutjobs know about it??? Fking cowards, why don't they blow themselves???

[stefandetrez]

It's what some chauvinists from any country would say.

[stevespelling]

These people are crazy.

[dickknows]

A better life for them is HELL! Because thats where they are going. The stupidity is abundant in Islam!!! The civilized world as a hole doesnt have to worry! We will stop this and when people get educated they will not accept this retardation. There only about 500 years behind in humanity!

[abrahamcohen]

i agree..Islam is full of nonsense and evil.They paradise with 72 virgins,pearly boys and wines is absurd.!!!

[raulitech]

Muslim 'martyrs' are deluded. There is nothing after death and the bible says only 144,000 people will go to heaven. They die for nothing. ISLAM IS STUPID...

[DREAMTONIGHT6]

before 9/11 I didnt even really know that much about the Islam religion. five years later, they have made them selfs stand out by all the suicides bombing? that the only reason people are afraid of them because they life to kill to go to heaven. you dont know if your next?

[Kalymnian]

These assholes talking martyrdom? Why are they still alive and their mothers didn't sacrifice them. WHAT A BUNCH OF ISLAMIC BULLSHIT. BRING EM TO ME, WE'LL SACRIFICE THEIR ASSES TO THE FAG PROPHET MOHAMMAD (PISS BE ONTO HIM)

[sunshine1968]

but THERE IS A "REASON" FOR THIS...AND IT IS THE US' POLICIES...you would think if they were sensible, logical folks they would think of something else than this sort of alternative...

[abrahamcohen]

its not US policy but Islam itself.The most backward evil religion the world have ever faced!!!.Quran is a manual of terrorist and Hadis is biography of a criminal.!!!

[rafi1971]

I'm sharing this with all my Neighbors here in So. Cal.

[JRubin1986]

so basicaly all there saying is that palestinians look forward to blowing themselves to kill Israeli's, some how i feel less sympathetic to there cause

[sunshine1968]

ya think???

[rojobrnt]

Please show this to as many people as you can. In the US media we don't get people in their own words, but only short whitewashwed bytes, and that bites hard.

[areichow]

What to Muslims in more conservative countries think about women in less conservative, but primarily Islamic countries not wearing any head/facial covering? Do people in Afghanistan think that Muslim women in Syria are "western whores?" Just curious- anyone know?

[sunshine1968]

yes they do;not only that but in these types of cultures it is acceptable to have sex with little boys than to have an affair with another woman if they be married.

[ideologger]

So, you think that Muslims in Syria and Jordan are bad? That they cheat on their wives and have sex with little boys? Wow. What do you think happens in the US and Canada? That people kill virgin infants, bathe in their blood then make coctails out of the dirty blood-water?

[abrahamcohen]

Muslims does evil things while chanting satanic Allahu akbar!!!. Bcoz Islam is from Satan!!!

[Turandot29]

Islam is not from Satan. It stems from the same place that a religions come from: the fertile mind of man who makes up gods in the image of man. Why do you think Allah and the god of the Old Testament are so violent and bloodthirsty? Because these terrible gods reflect the times in which they were conjured up by violent, primitive ppl.

[AzaelVI]

So true. So sad.

[sbelosevic]

I have a suggestion; all the Arabs should gather in some desert, straped with explosives. There they could become martyrs, all together. They have the pride, world has the peace.

[mikesless]

Oh I know! Wouldn't that be great!

[badlogik]

Everyone on this panel should go out and martyr theirselves instead of telling others to do it.

[areichow]

Try telling that to Hitler and his goons. They spun the same BS- the most precious thing was your 'homeland' and the most honorable thing you can do is die for it. War and this sort of "honor" is a trick to control the masses of people. And it seems to be working in countries where you see this rubbish.

[scottwinphoenixaz]

why is these "intellectuals" or the "leaders" of these Muslim movements don't be suicide murderers themselves? Could it be becasue they're cowards, they'd rather dupe fools into killing themselves. what a bankrupt moral philosophy. Islam is a joke.

[thecrossfader]

this vid would be awesome if the host pushed a button and blew them up right then and there.

[pianist007]

HS1987, I am not happy with a world full of terror whatever the motives are behind it ( Terrorism can be exercised on a state-scale in which case some choose to lable it "Defending Democracy" as a cover to blant Oil Greed "children and old people die too in such acts by the way", as well as individual acts of response to the aforementioned state violence, in which it is blindly labled "acts of terror" .. depending on which side you stand.

[harrowschool1987]

'Arab intellectual' is a contradiction in terms. Arabs aren't fully evolved. They certainly havent the capacity to think.

[pianist007]

" Arab intellecuals is a contradiction in terms" ???

Come on, seems you need to do yourself a favor and read a bit of history and learn what arab scholars had to offer Europe in its dark age period,check out their contributions in fields of medicine, geometry, music, and Al jebra (an arabic term too in case you don't know) just to name a few. Don't believe it ? Go to your Google search engine and type the names of of Ibn Sina, Gaber Bin Hayan, Al Farabi and see what you get.

[phximam]

I did go to google to search. I found that most of these so called arab or muslim contributions came from people that they conquered in war. They assimilated these people and then claimed arab muslims did all of the work. Arab intellectual is an oxymoron.

[pianist007]

But hey, I guess very few of us have the time or patience to check out where reality is, after all TV is doing that for us with its pre-packged sets or ready-to-use icons ), Anyway, history is history and there is no way to tailor it to anybody's needs : Arab or otherwise .

[scottwinphoenixaz]

yeah, they were great 8 centuries ago, too bad they didn't grow up like the rest of the world. they're sitting on the greatest wealth in the world but if they didn't have the jews or the west to fight they would fight among themselves.

[scottwinphoenixaz]

remember, Iraq under Saddam attacked Iran and millions died. The Mulim Arabs in the Sudan and killing the Black Muslims in the Sudan (at least 200,000 dead). They are mostly barbarians now. If they didn't have oil to sell (that they couldn't have gotten out of the ground without the wests efforts) they would still be herding goats and not trying to kill everyone who isn't a Muslim!

[wrongkeyhole]

So me and mine have to lie down and die so that they can live in there "perfect world"? Heart warming!

[dirtyaziz]

The western society can never understand the middle-eastern society and other way around.

[usarmycaptainamerica]

Allah gives Arabs suicide bombers, My God gives me common sense.. The Communist Lenin called people like this useful idiots...

Dirty I understand this culture of suicide and using kids to blow people up. The one universal term for this is EVIL..

[Astrocopus]

There was a blithe certainty that came from first comprehending the full Einstein field equations, ARABESQUES of Greek letters clinging tenuously to the page, a gossamer web.

[Astrocopus]

They seemed insubstantial when you first saw them, a string of squiggles. Yet to follow the delicate tensors as they contracted, as the superscripts paired with subscripts, collapsing mathematically into concrete classical entities -- potential; mass; forces vectoring in a curved geometry -- that was a sublime experience. The iron fist of the real, inside the velvet glove of airy mathematics.

Gregory Benford

[oosnij]

"Arab Intellectuals?" What an oxymoron

[Veritas9]

If martyrdom is the greatest sacrifice,the pinnacle of nobility, why don't the people on this panel become martyrs?

[jj9190]

Shocking, absolutley shocking! This video, broadcast in arab countries, is a blatant attempt by arab leaders to encourage people to commit suicide bombings, and to encourage women to support their son's participating in such vile acts. Simply shameful.

[Turandot29]

That's right. It is propaganda, pure and simple, that appeals especially to the poorer, unemployed/under-employed, disenfranchised classes who have too many children. This is a perfect way to cull the herd.

Plus, there are Saudi charities that pay stipends to the families of the 'martyrs' -- what a coup: Die for Allah and make money in the process! Sounds like a win-win situation to me!

I wonder how many sons the men on this panel have sacrificed? Hypocrites.

[abrahamcohen]

Yes why would this people die for Allah?..Can Allah just come down to earth and destroy Israel?...Muhamad have really fooled Muslims!...
