Iraqis are asking for your help?? From what I have read, heard and seen they hate America and want them to go back home.

of course they want us to go home, but the majority want us to leave when security situation improves.

Greetings and peace be with you all

When we harm each other then we harm God’s creation. The same God created all people, Muslims, Christians, Atheists, Hindu, and Jew and the same God created people who are Iraqi and Americans.

We can say what is wrong, but how do we search for ways to live in peace with all of God’s creation?

In the spirit of praying for peace on Earth.

Greetings and peace be with you all,

We can talk about the injustice of 9/11 and the deaths of three thousand people and the need to seek justice or possibly revenge.

But there is a greater injustice happening every hour of every day. Over a thousand people die every hour of every day in Africa of grinding poverty, malnutrition and preventable diseases.

The world needs to come together and start a crusade to lift desperate people out of poverty and preventable diseases; regardless as to whether they might be Muslim, Christian, atheist or anything else.

In the spirit of praying for peace on Earth.

What I'd like to understand is why Muslims insist that violent terror groups are not true Muslims, and then act like all Muslims are under attack when we try to take out the Saddam Husseins and Al-Quedas of the world. Anyone who thinks that Islam itself is under attack need to consider this: every western country allows the free expression of the Islamic religion. We all know that many Islamic countries allow the expression of no religion besides Islam.

There's no muslim lands now that are in peace. And we can say thanks to the west for that. And I'm in France because in Chechnya I'll without any doubt die. But trust me I miss my country and as soon as I can I'm packing my stuff and going back because I hate France and Europe.

The west causes all the violence in Muslim lands? How about the Iran-Iraq war? Muslims killing muslims. Iraq today? Sunnis and Shiites killing each other. Even if Islam is truely a religion of peace, its followers are still human. One thing we can be certain about with human beings is that they'll always find some excuse to kill each other. Even if they worship the same God.

Everyone hates France. Maybe you need to try another country.

who brought anarchy to iraq?

who brought anarchy to iraq?

Who brought anarchy? Anarchy isn't something you bring, it is something that develops due to many factors. Just as there are entities that want a stable Iraq, there are entities who want an unstable Iraq. Surely I don't have to spell out which country wants an unstable Iraq...hint, it isn't the U.S.

we invaded their country and removed the dictator who at one time was our friend. did we bother to think about what would happen next?

Of course. Bush ignored all advise because he thought we would be looked at as liberatores. And of course he was mostly right. The problem is that every decision on what/how to do next was flawed. The favored status we had quickly ran out when most everything we did was wrong. IMHO

Lets be serious, nowadays religion doesnt play any role in western countries politics. Even 200 years ago religion wasnt important in making decisions for european politics. An example- Turkey was supported in XIX century by France against christian Russia.
