@Warunho What exactly are you talking about?? How am I being narrow-minded? All I said was to stop blaming an entire religion for the world's problems. I'm tired of people judging others with no grounds. Please explain to me how I am being hypocritical, I'd love to know where your head is at.

[Warunho]

@songforafriend Nice hypocrisy there, ghandi. You talk about how good you are and how you are so much more respectful than everyone else, when what you're saying is condescending to the majority of the earths population and not to mention how narrowminded it is. Learn what tolerance and respect is before you start using it to boost your own ego...

@songforafriend Wow.. i guess i totally misunderstood the whole convo... I guess this is what happens when someone just reads just a portion. And your right the world isn't and it will never be we just have to deal with it. I guess im not the only one that faces the "bashing". Anyways keep being such a good person! I respect you alot. And once again im sorry.

@muslimballers Oh, is he Muslim? I don't think so, he was bashing like everyone earlier. One of those all-around haters. And thanks, I wish more people can be like us! Be different and yet respect each other for our differences. Unfortunately that isn't how our world is for the most part. :[ Ah well. Just gotta have faith that human beings will drop their egos.

@songforafriend "Facts are facts. And who have been victimizing us? SCUMBAGS LIKE YOU" I thought perhaps you where speaking about his "people" in general and not just him. If he is Muslim i feel sad for him.. It's not right. Your right Jews and Muslims are misunderstood. I wish more people where like you. :) And, I'm sorry. And once again ignore that fool. It's sad isnt it? Anyways enjoy yourself!

@muslimballers You may want to read my comment a second time. I never said Muslims victimize Jews. I simply stated that Jews being victimized is in fact a large part of our history by many groups of people. Just a fact, but I never mentioned that it's Muslims who victimize us.

I also said Jews and Muslims are misunderstood people.

@songforafriend Personally, as a Muslim. I respect jews there good people. Everyones got bad and good. But you simply cannot say We the Muslims have been victimizing Jews. Its just a contradiction. I respect you. Go to Palestine, and see for yourself who is being victimized.

@songforafriend I love you!! :)

@maxxtro9 Really? I dunno, I find it a little hard to believe that someone so full of hate can be capable of love. Keep striving, you may get there.
