Well this guy's email did it. Now I have to say something. To keep the
flaming to a minimum I will do it in the form of questions implying that I
don't know the answers and not making any statements (cause I don't know the
answer).

1. My God (the only God) is supposed to be the same God as the God of
Abraham and the same God of the Moslems know as Allah. So why does our God
tell us "Thou Shalt Not Kill" and the Moslem's God tell them "Kill all the
infidels (us) and get a ticket straight to heaven and be rewarded with 69
virgins? Now why is that? It does not compute, but they (the Moslems) told
me that it is all true. They (the Moslems) said that they are not smart
enough to understand why and offered to get a high up religious man to
explain it to me. I declined.

2. During Desert Storm and Desert Shield did Saudi Arabia really go through
all the in coming mail to American Troops and remove all bibles, religious
articles and crosses like returning troops told me they did?

3. If we have the same God why did they do that?

4. Why in the hell did our leaders allow them to do that if it is true? I
would have told them to go piss up a rope and fight Sadam without us.

5. The last FBI Anti-Terrorism Briefing that I attended before retiring in
1995 they told me (us) that there was over 50,000 Moslem Terrorist in this
country now that is just waiting for the word to do it to us. Why did they
let them in the country knowing that?

6. Why are the religious police going around arresting Christians in Saudi
Arabia now and putting them in jail for possessing bibles, crosses and etc.?

7. Last question. Why am I doing this? I know what's going to happen!

resulted in the attacks on the WTC and the Pentagon must be tracked down and
brought to justice. I watched the second collision of the WTC live on TV

be forgotten.

engages in this kind of atrocity is actually not a Muslim at all. He is no
more a Muslim than Timothy Mcveigh was a Christian. No good Muslim would
ever do to other humans, what was done by the terrorists who launched the
attack on the US. As in every faith, there are extremists who use religion
as

terrorist, a mass murderer with a mission, nothing more.

Israelis open up with automatic weapons fire. Not exactly a fair conflict!
The US supplies aid to Israel in amazing amounts. The last time I checked
it was roughly $2000 per Israeli citizen, that is the documented US aid. If

other before 1948 when outside forces decided to make Palestine into a
Jewish state. Now we pretty much stand alone in our assistance to Israel.
I now have a hard time distinguishing which side has the most terrorists.
> However it is clear to me who is who is the occupier and who is the
occupied. Palestinians are at best, second class citizens in Israel and
when locked down, they are simply prisoners. It is not a lot different than
Apartheid in South Africa. Why do you think these people have the

Christians or Jews with terrorists. I didn't hear an outpouring of
comments against Christianity when Timothy Mcveigh was caught. And most
Christians are aware that all sins will be forgiven if we believe in Jesus.
