re: I am Muslim -to Alan
In the main I agree with you.In fact I agree with everything except one point.
I just don't see Sharon as a butcher.
Yes, Arab propoganda has been good, very good. Sharon was the Defence Minister at the time when the Christian Phalangists Arabs murdered their fellow (although not co-relgionist) Muslim Arabs.
Note Arabs mudering Arabs.
There was an open investigation in a democratic country with a judicial system that is as onerous as any in the Western world.
He was exonerated of complicity but because he should have forseen it, he was booted out of his position.
When the New York Times did an article on him that slandered him, he sued and won.
Now unless the Israeli Court system and the American court system collaberated to put one over the whole world, why does he have the tag of Butcher?
If Ausralia had an implacaable foe as neighbours as Israel does, believe me we would want someone like Sharon or else we would be all dead meat.
Is Winston Churchill a Butcher. Was the Presidentof the United states a butcher when they killed all those German and Japanese civilians. They ordered the bombings, yet they are not referred to as Butchers.
But when an Christian Arab kills a Muslim Arab, then again, it's the Jew Sharons fault.
Crazy world we live in. Double standards that even blind Freddy can see. But only if he wants to.
