Because people don't care. Simple really.

I am aware of this and i spread it to people who are unaware of these actions, the only thing i can say is that they didnt change and the colonial times are still in their blood - mali, niger, nigeria, algeria, libya et cetera.

NATO is the imperialist/colonialist force today to challenge islamic and sino civilizations.

I think you don't care is more accurate here- most people just don't know and they need to learn history!

Nah Muslims do a better job of killing/mistreating each other. Seriously at this rate we don't even need USA to challenge Islam.

Perhaps because it is a non-issue today? Algeria is independent, France has accepted that it is, and there are no major unresolved outstanding issues left from the conflict.

Well there are other massacres but they are constantly mentioned over and over again. Like the holocaust.

Yes! I am still mad as Hades (we can religiously curse here as long as we Greek mythology, right?) about those Saxons that sacked the village of my ancestors, killing many kin. I am outraged! In fact, I have contemplated REVENGE against their offspring for all eternity!

Ahhhh! Ah, right now I am so outraged I could EAT A TREE!

Nah, not really. None of those people are around any more. Why study history? The perpetual quote is: "Those that don't study history are doomed to repeat it". Maybe, to some degree, but then again, we all have accept that history IS history...or they'd call it something else.

I am hoping and praying that humans can defy their animosity for other people or cultures for things that occurred centuries ago. We will never know peace or global harmony until we do. I am more concerned about focusing on the atrocities of today. There is enough to keep the righteous busy and these things we can affect. History is a done deal.

I pray to God and beg you all we all work together in order to make God's world closer to a state that would make Him pleased.

May you all be blessed throughout your remaining days here.

P.S.Another thing and a solemn oath: Any poster who brings up the reportedly wrong actions during the crusades will be responded simply with the phrase: "I have a cat". That's it. (Until deleted by mods, of course)

Trust me! I have tried to help those people negatively affected by the Crusades. I also was going to give the Pope and any other who voluntered for this immoral charade a piece of my mind! Guest what? Those directly involved are a pain to find! Any hints?

Rant officially over starting.....now.

I could find sources that turn the table and publicly depict Western civilitation on non-Muslims in the same persona. But, I am not going to. It is my belief that this path is not the path to progress. I doubt that any of us are opposed to that!

Your last response speaks of the NOW: Something that we can try to amend together. I understand what you are saying, really I do.

Laundry list? There are no innocents. Oh, we could compile one. I've seen a few, but then we'd all be at each other's throats and the historians would have something to argue about.

Are Muslim lives worth less than others? Shhhhh... keep this between us, but (in general) most Muslims are more worthy.

A proposition: Please PM me examples of what you're saying. I will telephone and write to those responsible for consciously portraying Muslims in a bad light. I will put some energy into defending Islam and the wonderful people who call themselves Muslim.


Of course, some do not need any help and do it themselves with the name of Allah and Islam on their lips as they do their craziness. Whackos are everywhere.

AGREED! This was all I ever saw out of Islam for most of my life. Before any decisions made on my behalf, I wanted to talk not to any media people, etc . I wanted to talk to MUSLIMS. Straight to the source as I can get.

After being here: There are SO many amazing people here! Including you! It is apparent that you feel very strongly about certain issues and when you shared some things, I understood your stance much better. Even admired it!

It's probably haram, by there are about 30 posters on here of several faiths that I would love to give a big hug to!

Get in line, BB! You're first! The big giant infidel thanks you, appreciates you and wishes you the best, always.

Oh!
Regarding the holocaast: America and the Allied forces messed up.

In hindsight...were the people in the region that is now Israel responsible for the atrocities committed by the Nazi regime? Not that I can find.

While the Allied forces spilt up Nazi controlled Germany, they should have sliced off a piece for New Israel. After all, why displace the Palestian people? Horrid. Who cares less if that was their "homeland"'? Love it so much? Should have held on to it!

The German nation was responsible for the attempt at genocide, not Arabs living there.

Keep in mind my mother's maiden name was Sauer. Her mother's maiden name was Klaus. In short, their my ancestors, but I am not about to defend wrong, regardless.
