faithfreedom is the great gift from real moderate muslims (in fact .... ex-muslims :-) )

i share the opinion with Ahmed about harrak's comment. what you want to tell us harrak? your remarks are a little obscure....
so, after all, Dr Pipes was in right because he predicted the withdrawal from gaza only gave power to extremists in palestine.

When the westerns will start to realize muslim mind works opposite to our way of thinking?
They believe in a ideology of conquer.When they win, they gather more power to top their beliefs. When they lose, they start to reduce their ambition.

I know islam world have always exaggerated reaction against all cultural-military threat to islam.
But, when you continue in your offensive and don't show weak signals, they start to become more relaxed....they are allowed to conquer others only when we are weak, not when we are strong.

1) persian and north african submission came from byzantine-persian long-stress war;
2) the fall of Constantinopolis came from # crusade made by venetians against byzantyum and venetian destroyed the power of the East roman empire;
3) turkey's crusade against vienna was ensured by europeans war between christians states;
4) today's XIV war world happening because we have lost our christians-western values;

Israeli will must hit hard hamas in the future, at the first opportunity
