You cannot blam Islam if some mulsim commited a bad action. Can we say the same about what happened to the original residents of America, Australia and other places? Can we say the same thing about Nazi germany and Hitler acts and we just blam christianity of his acts? Can we blabe christianity for the acts of USA in Iraq?

@Nolebrab I view all organised religions the same anyway, they have their merits, and help enrich a lot of people's lives, but the fundamentalist elements of ANY religion are the ones who fuck this world up for those of us who just want to live our lives. As an atheist (Boooo, hissss!) I see this life as our only one. So make the most of it.

I wish they had subtitled the parts where the people speak with Scottish accent - it's very hard for non-native speakers to understand this... :-/

but it didn't rain that day!! The first 18 months of the investigation pointed clearly towards a Palestinian Liberation group who was being funded by Iran. Most notably being seen as looking for revenge for the USS Vincent's accidental shooting down of the Iranian jet full of civilian pilgrims going to Mecca. The US didn't apologise and Iran, understandably wanted revenge, however abhorrent it may be. As for evidence the CIA was involved, well it wouldn't be the first time they did evil acts!!!

Never mind any new evidence, just look a the old evidence! When the families of the victims don't believe he did it, which to be fair, his guilt was pinned on the guy who sold the clothing in Malta who, for a tailor, couldn't correctly assess the guy's height (he said 6 foot, when Magrahi is 5'8" - a big margin of error) he also said the day he came to his shop it was raining, heavily, which narrowed it down to two dates, one, when Magrahi could prove he wasn't in Malta and one when he was....

what new evidence? you're full of shit.

[goombabear]

Their religion teaches them to hate Jews and the United States, so yes you can blame Islam.

God.. i went from watching an Anastasia song, to a story on the Tsar family, to the discovery of the bodies of the last two children of the Tsar family, to seeing the name of the town i go to school in and deciding to watch it,, youtube can take a dark turn on me.

We are often asked what we think about it all and prompted to feel distraught, but in actual fact, we weren't even born then, its sad yes, but we were not there when it happened.

But, that guy does deserve to go back to fucking jail.

The new evidence shows that it was the CIA..so they could not allow the new evidence to see the light of day, and releast the guy..

There's no reason to hate Jews unless you're religious, dipshit. Ever heard of something called the "blood libel"? Also, if the Nazis weren't killing in the name of religion, how come their belt buckles said "GOD WITH US"?

religion is poison
