  • the only thing developed in israel is barbaric terrorism

  • This is not an ideological war. It's a war of territory. Palestinians are indigenous, the rest are immigrants. Oh and those Palestinian guys are so handsome :P including the Israeli Arab haha.

  • lol thes palestinian students raped those fag israeli..they were much smarter than the israeli

  • lol thes palestinians students raped those fag israeli..they were much smarter than the israeli

  • Shadha is brilliant!

  • Israelis got owne!!!

  • I'm definitely proud of the Palestinian side, they totally knocked the Israelis dead in this debate. Truth of the matter is, no one side can tell an unbiased view of history, so we should go to something that is non-subjective~as the Palestinians said--International Law. In the end you realize the Israelis don't deserve to have their own state as they are incapable of following simple International Law. If Israelis justify the killing of Muslims, then I justify Muslims fighting back.

  • you israelis are a disgrace to the jewish people you are the new nazis!

  • why didn't they make izrael in germany?

    it is a germany who neads to pay for ww2

  • @rumonja85 yes! I havr ofen thought the m thing!

  • Israel is the miracle of the world? In what sense? There seems to be a fundamental religious tone to the Israeli argument at all points.

  • Palestinians are the indigenous people of historic Palestine , I rebel at the notion that We came from neighbouring countries , this is the biggest lie of our time .

  • @alhimaralkabir But they are. No palestinain is a pure descent of the indigenous inhabitants of the land, The canaanites. But no Jew is either. Both peoples are mostly a hodgepodge of different ethnic groups who lived in the land for more than 1000 years.

  • What a joke that Palestinians want peace. Palestinians want Israel, not peace.

    One Palestinian blows himself up, the next one cries he is being oppressed.

    The people as a whole are full of shit.

  • @IBeatUpThugs Why are you so vulgar? Palestinians have killed but not more than Israelis. Palestinains have oppressed others but not more than Israel. To deny the suffering of the palestinain is a despicable thing to do.

  • @ribchwi Nonsense, Israel has NEVER oppressed anyone. Arabs oppress Palestinians so they can live on UN welfare and con the world into feeling sorry for them. As a political strategy to conquer Israel through their so-called "right of return".

    Vulgar? What is blowing yourself up on a schoolbus and firing rocket day after day after day intentionally at civilians? Fighting strategically to maximize your own civilian casualties to make your enemy look evil. Take your indignation elsewhere.

  • @IBeatUpThugs BULLSHIT THEY DISGRACE THE BONES OF MY FAMIY AT MAIDENEKK

  • we need to stop talking and start to be united with Iran, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Egypt coming along, and finish the Israeli matter

  • Plus the theme song for this show is complete garbage

  • This show and debate sucks. Why did the show bring the worst speakers to discuss this?

  • I thought Haled(?), the Arab raised in Canada, was quite articulate. But as in any two minute answer, was carelessly light on facts, and heavy on hyperbole. A careful read of the 49th article of the Fourth Geneva convention and its purpose, reveals that Israel is not in violation. Nor is Israel in violation of UNSCR 242, because 242 is primarily predicated on the end of belligerance on both sides. And we could get into other nuances of 242, but to rest on those arguments won't sover anything.

  • well, go to Hammas website and read their Agenda charter.. peace? palestinian state? no where to be found.

    and when she's "being trated on the checkpoints" is when shes crossing from Palestine into Israel. she would have been treated the same if she tried to cross from Mexico to the states. she is dissregarding the fact she's going to university in ISRAEL..

  • what a dumb red-head

  • check out Christopher HItchens, Islam and the West

  • Gaza is concentration camp and ISRAEL are the NAZIS

  • Muslims stole the land from Israel first

    just like the Muslims stole pakistan, bosnia, kosovo etc

  • how did muslims steal pakistand and bosnia?

  • the muslim population pressured the british regime in India for a seperate state, have you ever heard of divide and conquer (the phrase)? Pakistan is really northern India. The HIndus and sikhs had been fighting muslim exspansion for centuries. Google 'hindu kush'

    The Ottoman regime a couple hundreds years ago forcibly converted and conquered Serbia, bosnia is serbia

    When the very foundation of your religion is conquest, dont complain when somone does it to you back, thats just hypocritical.

  • did muslims conquer malaysia, somalia and indonesia? it was trade that brought the religion i'm sorry but islam is not spread with force conversion, what is attracting so many americans, germans, swedish, latinos and british people to islam today? they are forced? i dont thinks so and the fact is that israel is and occuping state

  • you're right, during the "fatah", you didn't have to convert. You could die instead.

  • and a known christian once said, no BEAST is to man as christians are to one another, christian denominations have suppressed and oppressed each other, so that is your (non muslims) style, to conquer other and rule over them, and also non muslisms have had colonies over india pakistan somalia every muslism copuntry, you animals

  • israel stole palestinian land

  • The problem with ISraeli children is they are NOT taught what Muhammad did to the Jews of Medina. They are not taught that the League of Nations ruled in 1920 that the JEwish National Home is in Palestine. They did not learn that the Arabs in 1947 committed aggression against a UN authorized state, thereby gravely violating the UN Charter. The liberal teachers of Israel should be SHOT for not teaching the Jewish youth about what the Arabs did to us first.

  • Why are there hundreds of Palestinian children in israeli ADULT prisons?!

    Since torture and inhumane treatment of Palestinian children is normal practice for these demented israelis, can you imagine what horrors these children go through in the israeli adult prisons?!

    Can you imagine what rage and anger stirs in the parents and family of these children?!

    Beatings, torture and rape for throwing rocks at israeli land thieves.

    Are all israeli soldiers into pedophilia and molesting children?

    .

  • The story of the hundreds of Jewish children sent to the gas chambers in Poland because The first Palestinian leader, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin el Husseini implored Eichmann NOT to allow even a single Jewish child to escape to Palestine is a story that must be told on TV someday. I blame Israel for not making documentaries about Arab atrocities committed against the Jews since the time of Muhammad. That is why loses the propaganda war in the world.

  • Let's see...If we follow the logic used by palestinians, all native american indians should bomb churches and government institution all over the americas because they were here before.

  • were you listening at all?? It is not a question of whom was there first, it is the continuing suffering and subhmanization of the Palestinians by Israel

  • hear to song : TACT All Stars - Peace in the Middle East

    Are Palestinians have songs to wish for Peace??????????????????????

  • All of Shadia Mansour's songs are awesome.

    .

  • Can someone please explain something? (I'm neither Jewish nor Arab). Why do the Israelis speak with a sense of entitlement that they're the "rightful" owner of the land? Didn't they steal the land with gun points overnight? Where do they get a sense of moral entitlement to the land? I don't get it...

  • minkaboo: The Jews say GOD promised them that land,

  • I wish you'd read my lengthy comments. Maybe that will help you understand why we didn't really "steal the land with gun points overnight".

  • This issue is not only about land, but the right of a nation. If fifteen percent of American land was bought by muslims would it be fair for those muslims to rename the whole country and control the it in the name of their religion? This is what has happened in Palestine! You can go on about stuff that happened thousands of years ago, but we've landed on the moon already, so who cares about stuff from thousands of years ago(unless you're unstable, which is what zionists are!)

  • Sorry for being so blunt. I'm quite tired today. I apologise for coming across as confrontational. I know that the jewish people were in a vulnerable position after the war in europe and were carried away on a wave of defiance and self righteousness. I also know that bad jews are few and good jews are many. It's unfortunate that the bad muslims control gaza and the bad jews control israel. I'm off to bed. I wish you no harm and I wish jews no harm. Goodnight wownouser.

  • I'm also a bit tired... it's 1 am here (I'm not staying only to write this comments :))

    But regarding your cooment above, again, I'm not talking about thousands of years ago. I'm asking - who's land was it before the zionists came here? it was the turks for god's sake, not the Palestinians. I agree that because the Turks are also muslim, maybe that made it more acceptable for the Arabs (Palestinians) who lived here to accept their present.

  • And also, the turkish population had no reason to come in great numbers to live here.

    And also, honestly, what right did the Americans had to come to America and take the land from the Indians? Unlike the jews, they had No excuse at all!

  • You have a narrow definition of whom a nation belongs to. Because turks conquered Palestine, it belonged to turks? Wasn't there an independent country called, Palestine, already there before the turks conquered it? Weren't there palestinian arabs living there for centuries? If so, the land belonged to these people: The Arabs. It had owners. People had roots there for centuries. Israelis arrived and later on made it their goal to take over the land.

  • minkaboo at leat read before you make ignorant comments (sorry for my bkutness). "Wasn't there an independent country called, Palestine, already there before the turks conquered it?".

    The answer to that: NO THERE WASN'T.

    But I can tesll that there was an ISRAELI kingdom there about 2000 years ago. So apparently we were there before the Arabs.

  • and without being HONEST and admiting that it's not just a matter of the occupied territories, but of the old dream of the Palestinians to destroy Israel and have Tel Aviv, Haifa etc.

  • The problem is that the palestinians are not speaking in one voice, and while these young palestinians here saying it's all a matter of occupation and territories, the fact is that other Palestinians just don't accept Israel's right to exist at all. And so the Palestinians expect Israelies to go back to undefendable borders, without doing anything to promote the 2 state solution concept on their society, and without dealing with Hamas etc, who denies Israel's right to exist,

  • This discussion totally misses the point. Let's put the cards on the table. I am an Israeli, and if I were offered a deal in which Israel gives back ALL the territories in exchange to REAL peace, I, as the majority of Israelies would have taken it in both hands.

  • wownouser, your comment is the first I've read from an Israeli that even half makes sense, but you say the problem is that the Palestinians aren't speaking in one voice! Isn't the problem the fact that after world war 2 millions of jews just showed up and decided to make a whole new country over the top of an already existing one? THIS is the problem and you can pussy foot all you like. It's in Israels best interest to fall behind the green line and pay attention to planet earth!

  • my friend, you're so unfamiliar with the historic facts that I advice you to read more about zionism.

    The first zionist settlers came to Israel in approximately 1880, long before world war 2. The zionist movement started not because of world war 2, but because jews from eastern and western Europe who suffered from antisemetism decided to take their fate in the own hands and build a state for the jews in the ancient land of Israel which was then ruled by the Turks.

  • Palestine was under Turkish rule for about 400 years, there was no Palesinian state there, nor any other state. This land was colonialized bt the Turks. NOW, the problem between jews and Palestinians stem from the fact that when the zionists started to come to Palestine (from 1882) most of its native inhabitans were Arabs. There were also jews that lived in this land then and throughout history

  • Jews had a constant present in Palestine (or land of Israel) from the ancient kingdom of Israel. The Arabs who lived under the Turks in Palestine didn't have national aspirations themselves. They lived for 400 without a need to have their own state, seperated from Turky, and they didn't perceive themselves as different than the Arabs who lived in Joran or Syria.

  • The problem started because the jews that kept on coming to Palestine under Turkish and after that English rule, did have national aspirations. They came to this land, as one Israeli song from that time say - "to build it and being rebuild in it". They didn't come here to live under Turkish or British rule. They can in order to build a state for themselves. Their own independent state where there can finally live in freedom and security without being persecuted and descrimibted against.

  • If there was no Israel and no zionism, Britain would have probably leave this land as it left all its other colonies in the area, and this land would have probably been split between Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Egypt. No, I don't believe that there would have been a Palestinian state, because the Palestinians started to view themselves as nationaly seperated from the Arabs around them

  • everything was done leagaly - the land was bought. And when the Arabs talk about refugees etc., this came only as a result of several wars that were all initiated by the Arabs with the aim to destroy the jewish community and have the lands split between the Arab states.

    Nevertheless, the fact is that on a land which was populated (in relatively small numbers) by mostly Arabs, you have a state which is Jewish. So you have this fact weighed against the jews' right of a state.

  • (my previous replies are mixed up in order... so look at the time they were written to figure out their order).

    Anyway... The solution in my opinian should be a compromise - the Palestinians should accept the fact that they can never have ALL the land (and again, they never did, there was never a Palestinian state on this land), and Israelies will have to give Jerusalem (except for the jewish quarter), and go back to the 1967 borders. Once there is a peace that both sides truly agree on

  • then we both sides and the whole area can finall START LIVING for real. start putting energy in life, developing this area, getting to know each other's cultures. Just focusing on making a better life for the people of this area instead of killing and hating one another.

  • You are right in saying the only peaceful and fair solution is to return to the 1967 borders. I fully agree that the Jewish people and the Muslim people should live in peace and in religious moderation. I don't like Hamas or suicide bombers, but look at the minds of Israeli generals who know they are going to kill children. The biggest difference here is their uniforms, everything else is the same. They are equally evil! Israeli IDF has killed more children than Hamas, FACT!

  • I'll try to explain: Israel was faced with an impossible reality where the whole of the south of Israel was under constant threat of missiles. You can't live like that - children didn't go to schools or kindergartens, people weren't able to go to work. life was a nightmare for hundreds of thousands of people. Something had to be done. There was no one to talk to on the other side.

  • Continuous denial that Israelis didn't steal the land from them, will make it inhumanly difficult for Palestinians to accept that the very party that stole the land is not dictating what they SHOULD accept or not, while they're being oppressed everyday living in confined walls.

  • Can you be more specific as to which land is stolen? do you know that before 1967 the Arabs had the whole of the west bank, including east Jerusalem, Gaza strip and still wanted to distroy Israel that was within the green line. Can you explain that to yourself? can the palestinians explain that? The explanation is the same that caused the palestinian to reject the 1947 UN partition pan. The refused to except a jewish state on any part of the land. So don't lecture us about how unfair we are.

  • @minkaboo how could they stole something that wasn't there's - there was no palastinian state b4 Israel was established there was a brithish mandath that got his mandath "in order 2 built a home 4 the jewish ppl in their historical homeland". this is not america when white ppl came n stole Indians land, this is 2000 yrs struggle 2 rebuilt Israel as their historical=religious-natural old homeland. Arabs occupied 22 states n all their ideology is based on Dima - occupying lands from Egypt 2 Spain

  • @minkaboo Jews have never stolen another peoples' land in all their 4000 year history. The name Palestinean and the land belongs to Jews. The Arab regimes are fictions created 120 years ago. Egypt must be divided and a Coptic state must be created, and Pakistan is Indian lands.

  • @ELVISCHALLENGE Stop bull shitting me. The more you guys come out totally denying what everyone knows happens makes you appear as hardliner extremists. The whole world knows that the British soldiers came and kicked out all the Palestinians to give the land to the jews. I don't give a shit who technically "owns" the name "Palestinian" but now in modern history, in the year 2011, Palestinian name belongs to its people. Arab nations are sovereign independent states recognized by the world.

  • The Jews right of a state? So what about scientologists?

    On one hand the extreme muslims use their religion to kill jews in defence of the land.

    On the other hand the extreme jews use their religion to kill muslims in attack of the land!

    Stalemate! NEITHER are right in their actions, but legally the land is Palestinian wether they are muslim palestinian, jewish palestinian, christian palestinian etc etc

    Explain how the West Bank settlements are legal please. Thank you.

  • I see that you're on line now :)

    OK, I don't think that the West Bank settlements are legal. period. and so do many otherr Israelies.

    The settlements make it difficult to reach an agreement but they don't make it impossible.

    To have peace, real peace, Israel was always willing to distroy settlements.

    It did so with the settlements in Sinai - for peace with Egypt, it recently did so when it withdrew from the Gaza strip, and in a painfull process uproored the settlements there.

  • No, I'm afraid that peace is impossible if the settlements are allowed to remain. Truly impossible. I know that many Israelis don't support the settlements, but you are forgetting that these settlements are full of armed zealots! The settlements must be removed along with the settlers and the checkpoints for any kind of peace to happen. Are you crazy? What on earth makes you think there can be peace when the settlements remain? Israel has to just admit defeat on this issue. Seriously.

  • read my comment. did I say that the settlements will remain? I said most Israelies will support the destruction of settlements for peace - as they recently did with the settlements in the Gaza strip, and previously in the Sinai. Israel destroyed in both cases villages and towns that were people lived for dozends of years. It was a painfull process but it was done. Even though it's going to be A LOT more difficult in the west bank, because the settlers there are religious.

  • 'The settlements make it difficult to reach an agreement but they don't make it impossible.'

    Your comment implied the settlements would remain, but would make peace more difficult.

    If you are saying the settlements must be removed for peace, but would be difficult, then I agree!

    Most West Bank settlers are evil. They are not there to respect the Palestinian people. Infact quite the opposite! Had they been muslims they would certainly have become suicide bombers!

  • Yes, I did mean that the settlementsb will have to be removed.

    I agree that some settlers are bad. I don't know if most are bad. Gragually, over the years, they became more and more religious and extreme. They start to be a problem for Israel as a democratic state because it seems sometimes that they rather obey their rabbies instead of the Israeli law. But let's not forget that throughout the years, the Palestinians did some terrible things,

  • I really love comments like this, "everything was done legally." Of course, if you plan to steal others land but buy the land w/ real money (and not fake money), it's all legal. This is morally depraved way of thinking. THIS seems to be the huge problem w/ the way Israelis view the problem today. They did everything legally, or fought fair and square. This sort of picking facts from history that serves your own needs.

  • And failure to see the elephant in the room, the big picture, the plain obvious truth that this land was taken away from the arab palestinians right under their own, through the help of the British and the UN security counsel. I really don't care how you try to re-frame this. The entire world knows that there was no Israel state before 1948.

  • I really don't care how you try to re-frame this. The entire world knows that there was no Israel state before 1948.

  • The entire world knows that there was no Palestinian state before 1948. There was a British colony there. does that mean that Britain should have the land? maybe the Turks? They were there until 1917 (I think), and they were there much longer- 400 years. Doea that mean that Turky hasa rifgt for the land? I understand the Arab's frustration, but the fact is that for 400 years under the Turks and Brits, they did nothing to create a Palestinian state,

  • and remembered they wanted it only after the zionists came and built their own state.

  • @minkaboo

    there was never a palestinian state before 1948 as well

  • so the Arabs who lived here saw how floods of jews are starting to settle (buying lands, no one chased Arabs out of their land. at leat not then) in this land, building villages, towns, bringing their own culture, and trying to get an international recognision in a jewish state. I can understand the Arab anxiety. Even though Palestine was largely inhabited, even though the Arabs who lived here didn't have an independent state, it's still not easy to see new comers who intend to build a state.

  • only during the wars with Israel, when it was clear that the Arab countries can't distroy Israel and get it lands and the the promlem of the occupied territories was becoming a Palestinian problem.

    Now, I said that I can understand why the Arabs feel in away that they lost this land. On the other hand, I truelly believe that the jews have all the reasons in the world to want their own state, and we have a real historic connection to this land, and we didn't chase anyone from their homes

  • "if i were a palestinian i would have rejected camp david my self" shlomo ben ami

  • you can see the elitism of Israeli apologist from their early years compare with the humbleness of Palestinians

  • Zionism is the scourge of the world!

  • The arabs have 22 states bigger land then the U.S and yet they can't live in peace that the Jews have one single historic land.

    If that's not wickedness, then what is ?

  • no.

    eventually israel will be destroyed.

    arabs have patience.

    every year every month every day, the situation is moving into arabs benefit.

    even in usa.

  • I think the reason many comments here feel the debate was bias was because the palestinian side did better. Because they added facts and not just sentiment, unlike the israeli side.

  • israelis suck!

  • Foreign muslims went to Europe and murdered Christians in their ancestral homes and drove the rest out. They went there to murder people in their own country. Muslims are far far far worse than Jews. Yugoslav Christians were driven out and murderered by Arabs who had no right to be in Europe at all. Hypocrisy.

  • The first truth cannot be re-made. There can be no revision of the God of Abraham. The revisionists (muslims) must accept their falsehood and stop perpetuating a lie which is so destructive and causes so much pain and death around the world.

  • the real jews are Black jeremiah14:2 judah mourneth and the gates thereof languish they are black unto ground. revelations 13:9-10 if any man have an ear let him hear. you so called white ppl are edomites. lol revlations2:9 i know thy works and tribulations and poverty but thou art rich and i know the blasphemy of them which say they are jews and are not but are the synagoge of satan

  • If you ask me, this isn't really a satisfying debate- more like Palestinian supporters and Israelis commenting on it the Palestinian ideas, rather than a thorough delving of BOTH sides. It's as if this interview has a bias simply from the way it was orchestrated.

  • Damn typos, sorry. :)

  • he issues here is that the true jewish believe that this land palestine is not and they messiah,,will come and basically give it to them..however the zionist jews ie that were gassed by hitler were GIVEN the land by the AMERICANS AND THE UK..taken from the PALESTENIANS..hennce the invasion of palestine started..this is the travesty of the whole situation that the OPPRESORS (ISRAEL) HAVE BECOME THE VICTIMS..AND THE VICTIMS (PALESTINE) THE OPPRESORS..thanks to the propanda machines..

  • Thanks to the leftiest propaganda machines everywhere in the world all talk about "palestinians" and about the creation of a homeland for "them".

    The truth is that this so called "palestinians" are syrians and lebanese people which where invented by the arab league to create an arab unity based on the hate against jews. "palestine" was allready created and its called jordan!

  • So what do you call the people who lived in the nation of Palestine?

  • "How come Allah can't beat the Jews?" a Muslim would laugh his head off when he/she hears this. Just like me now HAHAHAHA.

    Good solution to the conflict though thanks for your sophisticated genius efforts!

  • How come allah can't beat the jews?

  • Because Allah is on the same side as the Jews. Muslims tried to twist the religion of Abraham and then force that twisted version on all others by saying it was the 'final' version. There cannot be a second attempt at the truth....the first truth is the truth. Israel is the truth. islam is a lie.

  • Or maybe there is no god?

  • Israelis... Lets teach them their history.

    The problem was before religion Israeli girl. PLO was secular. Its a question of land.

    At least there is Arab 48 who understand Israel society and how they think. They are a part of Palestine, they are Palestinians.

    Israelis don't understand Palestinian society they don't even care.

    peace ain't going to come unless they understand and remove Zionism.

  • Men are luckier and beat women?

    4:34 MEN SHALL take full care of women with the bounties which God has bestowed more abundantly on the former than on the latter, and with what they may spend out of their possessions. And the right­eous women are the truly devout ones, who guard the intimacy which God said. And as for those women whose ill-will you have reason to fear, admonish them ; then leave them alone in bed; then beat them; and if thereupon they pay you heed, do not seek to harm them.

  • 4:34 Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the husband's] absence what Allah would have them guard. But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance - [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them. But if they obey you [once more], seek no means against them.

  • How come Allah ALLOWS different qurans? I've seen many different. Even on muslim sites.

    How can people know which one is the true "god writen"?

  • Hey Hey Hold on.....Who in the heck told you there are different Qur'an. The Arabic Qur'an is preserved in its original form as it was 1,400 years ago. Just the English Translations may differ because of Arabic being a vary vast language in terms of Phonetics and Vocabulary. The Arabic Version is the same only the translations may have differences but that too slight ones!!

    That is the reason we prefer to read the Qur'an in Arabic rather than any other language

  • But since the words can mean different things it's useless. Try a manual to a TV, if the text could mean several things it would be useless don't you think? So why is this manual to life written so poorly?

    And which arab one is the true one? the quran did not exist in book form when Muhammad died. The quran was made 650 and different versions were destroyed then.

  • Go on Wikipedia and type the Words Hafiz (Qur'an). Read it and you will understand how the Arabic Qur'an is preserved as in its form after 1,400 years.........

    Not all words have different meaning, English is a mediocre language....Arabic is Superior in terms of vocabulary and phonetics. So what is wrong here Arabic or English.....

  • Word like Water in Arabic is "Moya" and there are no other definitions of water. So how do you describe this verse.

    24:45 And it is God who has created all animals out of water; [63] and [He has willed that] among them are such as crawl on their bellies, and such as walk on two legs, and such as walk on four. God creates what He will: for, verily, God has the power to will anything.

    There are no debates about the English translation here. Science never discovered this a few years back

  • Allah made man by:

    water 25:54

    cloth 96:1-2

    clay 15:26

    mire 38:71

    Flat earth? 51:48

    All in pairs? 51:49

    Some animals don't need pairs.

    Some animals change sex.

    Protecting stars? 67:5

  • English is a VERY rich language. 600.000 words in their dictionary.

    From wikipedia:

    "When Muhammad proclaimed the verses later collected as the Qur'an, his followers naturally preserved the words by memorizing them."

    Doesn't sound like a good system.

  • You are not ordered to beat women just because you can. In fact this verse require reconciliation and Discussion as a means of solving the Problem which is for those women who are against the Moral principles which means disloyalty ranging from flirtation to sexual liaison.

  • It says that you are allowed to beat up women. Imams here say the same thing. Well, it's against Swedish (and western) law to do that. You don't like a woman? Separate! You may not fight like a child if you don't get what you want. I can't see the higher moral in that...

  • Now look you used the word Separate!! here. Now I don't need to speak a word as you have spoken for me. If the Husband is cruel, women can separate with full Rights.

    You sure can see the Higher Moral now I guess!!!

  • The Holy Qur'an:

    Among His signs is that He created for you spouses from among yourselves, in order to have tranquility and contentment with each other. He places in your heart love and care towards your spouses. In this, there are signs for people who think.(30:21)

    What do you have to say about this.

    You can just pluck a verse and tell me that Islam encourages beating

    When ur wive has an affair or is Immodest u hate her.

    Islam asks you to talk to her then do not sleep with her and lastly....

  • I think it's diguisting.

    1, Man owns women

    2, Love her

    3, If not... talk, ignore and beat her

    You point to no 2 and say "how beautiful", I see no 1 and 3. And they are not just bad, they are illegal in Sweden and the west.

  • She Can leave her Husband If he is wrong and unjust the Qur'an supports that. Which other religion gives a women a right to leave her husband, this is Islam for you being just for both the Man and the Women ......

    4:128 And if a woman has reason to fear ill-treat­ment from her husband, or that he might turn away from her, it shall not be wrong for the two to set things peacefully to rights between themselves

    You will post another strange reply as I know your ways...

  • That's not what I see here in Sweden. Arabs get swedish girlfriends, treat them like objects and after the girl leaves them, they follow and abuse. It's common knowledge here. My sister had a muslim boyfriend. He beat her. Also we lived in a muslim area once and my sister got beaten by muslim WOMEN for dressing improperly IN SWEDEN!!!! My sister is an atheist, she doesn't have to follow the quran.

    Religion is it's followers to me.

  • Then you are wrong because Followers r just human and can do wrong.Where as Religion is divine and no one can change that.I am sorry about your sister & understand that it hs left an anti Muslim scar in your mind. Yet true believers denounce hatred & this verse prves my point that they are wrong

    2:256 There is no compulsion in religion, for the right way is clearly from the wrong way. Whoever therefore rejects the forces of evil and believes in God, he has taken hold of a support most unfailing

  • Still muslims are more criminal than atheistic swedes, GENERALLY! Not individually.

    For me, there is no god. Religion is a bunch of people telling me I'm wrong. Religious act worse than atheists AND claim a higher moral. A joke to me.

  • see this is part of the problem.

    Your faith requires you to believe true islam is flawless. Any problems in the ideology are attributed to the followers. Fear of the hellfire keeps islam in the dark ages.

    The protestant reformation is europes gift to the christian world. The islamic world has no parallel.

  • Well let me start with the notion of Islam being in the Dark Ages! Islam was never in the Dark Ages as it was only the Western Culture that went through it, During your Dark Ages the Islamic Empire was flourishing and reached unmatched parallels. Type "Inventions in the Islamic world" in Wikipedia. Most of the things we use 2day were researched first in the Islamic World and I don't say that just because I fear the hell fire....Its Logic!!

    Muslims were way ahead in Maths, Science, Astronomy..etc

  • The Second part of finding new sects in religion to gift ourselves!! The Example that we don't need that is that Islam as we speak is the fastest growing religion in the world and prominently in the west, even though so much Anti-Muslim Propaganda takes place dre. Thousands of Protestants are reverting to Islam that is because True Islam is nothing like what we see a bunch of people do on T.V. Islam came as a blessing on humanity and as a True Muslim I Know dat and hellfire is nowhere in my mind

  • P.S:

    The Arabic word used here, {adriboo}, from the root {d-r-b}, has several dozens of meanings, such as: 'to strike', but also: 'to forsake', 'to avoid', 'to leave'.

    Therefor there is no exact conclusion as to weather the verse means exactly to strike or to leave her entirely.....

    Women had rights in Islam way before their Western counterparts.

    Women have Rights to Property, Vote...etc

    basically all rights a man possesses and Women are in no way Inferior to men in Islam!!!

  • That's why the quran is useless. Everything can mean a lot of different things. You can interpret it as you like. Pointless.

    Too bad women lost their position in islam. And now many live like slaves. And muslim taliban kill all women they don't think follows the quran. And how about:

    "4:34 Men are in charge of women..."

  • The Holy Qur'an:

    4:128 And if a woman has reason to fear ill-treat­ment from her husband, or that he might turn away from her, it shall not be wrong for the two to set things peacefully to rights between themselves: for peace is best, and selfishness is ever-present in human souls. But if you do good and are conscious of Him - behold, God is indeed aware of all that you do.

    This totally solves the Women Issue

    Prophet Mohammed(P.B.U.H) has told several times:

    "do not beat believing women!"

  • But it's STILL written in the quran that it's ok to beat women. It doesn't erase the other verse.

    "do not beat believing women!"

    And is it ok to beat atheist women? You believe this???

    Here in Sweden several muslim men seek out their ex wives and kill them. It's their duty according to the quran they say. Where is the higher moral in that?

  • You just go on pointlessly banishing Islam for what Muslims do, There are a lot of bad Muslims around and that does not mean that Islam is wrong. If a person kills his wife punish him by death, now that is Islam. I can't do a thing is your stupid Swedish law does not Charge Rapists and Murderers coz Islam surely does charge them with death.....

  • Im not talking about law. I'm saying that DESPITE people are muslims with the so called "higher moral" they are criminals more often than atheists. WHY? IS MY QUESTION? Sometimes they lead by 500%. 5 times more criminal in some cases (morocko). Is it a coincidence or cultural?

  • "So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the husband's] absence what Allah would have them guard. But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance"

    You still do not get the verse, guess you did not get the word absence, which means that in the absence of their husband those women that do wrong!! are entitled to first a discussion, then no sleeping and later striking. If the husband is unjust in his ways then the last verse I had quoted gives her full right to leave her husband!!

  • It still says it's ok to beat women under certain conditions. It doesn't matter how you twist it.

  • Zionism is not racism. It's the urge to establish a jewish country. In what way is a jewish country more racist than a muslim/arab/western/christian country???

    Oh, could it be that the US is only doing Allahs wish? Maybe he's punishing Iraqies through the US? How can you know?

  • And He has set firm mountains in the earth so that it would not shake with you...(Quran, 16:15)

    Likewise, the modern theory of plate tectonics holds that mountains work as stabilizers for the earth. This knowledge about the role of mountains as stabilizers for the earth has just begun to be understood in the framework of plate tectonics since the late 1960's.

    Zionism is Racism...There is more to Zionism then just a state and the United Nations has declared Zionism as a Racist entity

  • The modern theory of plate tectonics shows that mountains are made by collision of plates!!! They are the product of shaking earth!

    Where does it say in the UN that zionism is racism. And in what way does it differ from arabic nationalism?

  • Well I think this is time to end our conversation as I am sick of ur Muslim Bashing. I don't need to prove anything to u as when we discuss something there has to be a clear mind, and you have always been tilt towards what a few people do. When I told u bout the 5% u remembered the 70 million yet totally forgot the 1.3 billion left who live just and moral lives according to the principles of Islam. Talking to you has made me understand that there will always be people like you but I say Peace!!!

  • I'm not bashing. You're the one calling ME names. I simply ask about the errors in the quran. And point out that a BIG part of muslims are dangerous.

    You seem to be a moderate muslim and still you call me a nazi when I speak. That proves my point. I never called you anything!

    Check out:

    "Iraqi TV Debate: Is the Earth Flat?"

  • Well I was trying to end the Conversation but.....

    The Video you posted was by MEMRI TV. It is a Zionist propaganda tool incorporated by Ex-IDF personnel, It is an Israeli attempt to ridicule Islam and Muslims. Check about MEMRI TV on Wikipedia, you will know.......

    Did you know Zionism is even ridiculed by Orthodox Jews and I have heard hundreds of Jewish Rabbi's declare that Zionism is the reason there is no peace in the Middle East. You are not a Jew yet you tend to favor Zionism..Why??

  • So? Memri sends out arabic programs. They translate to us westerners what arabs say in arabic TV. Do you have other sources for that. Please give me.

  • They do translate but only those things they wish to translate. They pick Negative aspects at Random. I have heard many translated programs by them that show the Negative part of the Program but when it runs into a Positive part MEMRI tends to not record that.

    Being Biased is the Issue here and MEMRI is an Israeli attempt to give a Negative Impression of the Muslims.

    You don't see MEMRI translating Hebrew programs from Israel do u???

    Middle East Media Research Institute reports nothing Israel

  • But the negative parts are true! A lot of arabs are threatning us with world domination. We had several incidents here in Sweden. A mosque sold antisemitic propaganda in Stockholm. A control guy went to a mosque meeting and heard them talk about how bad the west was and that 911 was right etc. Why are they even here if the west is so crap? We are just waiting for the first terrorbomb here. How come no moderate muslim object?

  • United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3379 declared Zionism as a for of Racism.......This was passed in 1975!! Check it on Wikipedia and Reply

    In 1991 it was revoked by a Pro-Israeli American Policy.....

  • It's true, but the countries voting it through were arabic (muslim), russia and african. Not the west! Dictator countries...

  • more than 70 countries voted in its favor....Western countries did not vote because they have to maintain a hegemony in the Middle East. As Israel is the Best way to maintain that!!!

  • Several western countries voted against even.

    Are you telling me that arabs are so weak in the middle east, even if they run 99% of it that little little Israel is controlling them? Arabs must be very easy to control then.

    And if it was Allahs will to remove the jews. Don't you think it would already ave been done by now? Or is he to weak?

    How about taking some responsibility? Everything cannot be blamed on the jews.

  • I never blamed anything on the Jews, but did not deny that there is a Zionist Propaganda to defame Islam. If you use filthy language as you have been using here, I may not be replying to u any more. Defaming ones belief is no way of continuing in a discussion.

    I think your problem is u believe what you say is the truth and others are all stupid!!!

  • You said the west keeps power in the middle east through some small country (Israel). It's like a joke. It's like Schweiz would control Europe.

  • Israel is a major Issue in the Middle East and Even the American State Department has confirmed in many of its leaked documents that " Israel is a major factor in maintaining American oil interests in the Middle East"

    You are very poor in History!!!

  • So arabs are THAT WEAK agains't Israel!?!?

    How can muslim arabs be that weak with Allah on their side? Maybe the jewish god is stronger? Muslims should pray more, then maybe Allah will zapp Israel from the map?

  • Allah never touched human evolution. he created the world and let the human beings create their day. Basic Kabala.

    And yeah Palestinians are that weak against Israel, f-16 vs rocks, tanks vs- ak47. Soldiers Vs Civilians (better known as hamas)

  • Civilians with AK47? Doesnt sound so harmless to me. If the palestinians think Israeli are extremly violent. How come they let their kids throw rocks at armed israeli? I would never endanger my child like that. Also a rock can kill, but I guess you knew that...

  • As far as the Issue of the world being flat or round according to Islam type "Flat Earth" is Wikipedia and then click on the Phrase Islamic World. Read it and all your questions will be answered. Look The Muslims knew way ahead of the Westerners in terms of Science and Islam has contributed to Science in massive proportions, It was because of Islam that during the Middle Ages when Europe was in Ruins, the Muslims prospered and became the Pioneers in Science, Math, literature and Astronomy!!!

  • PS: How can the big part of Muslims be bad when you urself measured they are just a fraction of the Muslim Population. 70 million of 1.4 billion now that hardly counts as majority does it

    I hate Racism in any form, I don't hate people because I believe that we are creations of a single creator. If I hear people being biased It hurts and that is why I called you a Nazi.

    Islam has given me Piety, Strength, Morals, Empathy and a structured life and I am proud of that. Islam does not preach hatred!

  • I found this on Wikipedia on the Mountain's Page:

    "The compressional forces in continental collisions may cause the compressed region to thicken, so the upper surface is forced upwards. In order to balance the weight, much of the compressed rock is forced downwards, producing deep "mountain roots". Mountains therefore form downwards as well as upwards"

    This proves the Peg Issue!!!

  • No disrespect to Riz Khan but his moderation kind of sucked. As soon as a very good point was raised, he changed the course of discussion. It's not really his fault because this issue cannot be fully covered/discussed in one hour. Sad.

  • Whats the point. I believe in fate and I am convinced that we are living in the end times.

  • As an Israeli I am aware that not all of our actions can be justify in the name of security, but I would like each of you to try to picture what would happen to the Jewish people if we stopped defending ourselves altogether; would we be able to exist?

    If I were to participate in such panel I were to participate in such panel I would like to ask the young Palestinians what is their idea for peace and if they truly believe that we have a true partner for peace?

  • efik82 you stupid jew. Listen, you motherfucker dont want peace. all the attacts by the palestinians are response to your terrorism. You fool if israel wants peace the solution is soooo simple. give them the land that the UN has allocated them in 1968 and remove your settlers. so simple. but the aim of israel is to have the palestinians under more control. and by the way where are jews from? i thought jews were european not from the mideast

  • No not all are from Europe, 3 Million Israelis are descended from Arab/Turkish/Persian Immigrants,2.5 Million are descended from Europeans,125,000 From Black Ethiopians, 85,000 From India, And 25,000 are Burmese, Chinese,Inca and other Jews. My roots are from Yemen and Jamaica.

  • BamenYaros turkish dedcend? dude turks are muslim. persian and arabs i accept because about 250,000 jews live in iran

  • This panel is full of Ashkenazim, (European Jews), only 1 Libyan Jew, (Dana).

  • Dear Tupac9999999,

    Your answer and the way you expressed yourself just strengthen my claims... As Dana Sender said it on the youth panel, Palestinians today are influenced by extreme fundamentalism (extremists like the word you chosen) so their violence is simply not just a response to the Israeli so called attacks...

    Cordially,

    Efik82

  • efik82 you fool let me educate you know. what is zionism dude? zionism is a violent movement that killed people in the name of "self defence" if the palestines are terrorist then zionist are. dude think israel has one the best weapons in the world, tanks, jets etc and the palestians are armed with hand guns and shit so you telling me that palestine is the terrorist for defending their people just like what the zionist

  • Palestine didn't even exist before Israel.

  • tomaselvis you fool. so your telling me that palestine was a place that had no people?. because if it is then you are the most stupidist person alive, and most jews claim that when they went to palestine their were no people there. the land was filled with about 1.5 million arabs. i didnt say jews had lost their right for jerusalem, but bare in mind jerusalem is holy to jews, christians and muslims. do you see the christians claiming that land. remember way before isreal everyone was livingPeace

  • Jews actually come from Israel, christians don't. Jews did't have a country because Romans and arabs threw them out. When did they loose their right to it?

    Also Israel is very small. The "refugees" had
