I just want to preface this post with a short opinion. Keep in mind that I am neither Christian nor Jewish nor Muslim.
Many of us here in the west have been propagandized by the media to fear and hate the Muslim world. Believers in Islam are vilified, called fanatics and terrorists and we believe that they're under the couch or hiding in the closet waiting to kill us with box cutters. With the latest attempt this week to blow up a US airplane with firecrackers this picture is indelibly etched in our minds. We are taught fear so we learn to fear.
This is the false paradigm the elite would have you believe. Don't be fooled. Americans rightly fear their government, but remember, Muslims rightly fear it too. While you, an American, sit comfortably in your home we're executing Muslims across the globe, in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan, Congo and other countries. The sad truth is that as an American if we allow our government to persist, we're next. Christian or Muslim, believer in God or Allah, we're all the enemy, equally.

The Arab and Muslim worlds suffered one tragedy after another in this "decade from hell". Four wars – Afghanistan (2001), Iraq (2003), Lebanon (2008) and Gaza (2009), civil wars – in Sudan, between Sunni and Shia in Yemen and Iraq, between Fatah and Hamas in Palestine, not to mention the almost soccer war between Algeria and Egypt in 2009.
Whoever was responsible for 911 – the official excuse to invade Afghanistan and Iraq – Israel and a bizarre assortment of Israeli agents watched in delight as the Twin Towers came tumbling down. Benjamin Netanyahu famously said just days after 911, "We are benefitting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon, and the American struggle in Iraq." A robust and growing movement of 911 sceptics both in the Arab world and in the West accuse Mossad of orchestrating the tragic events of 911.
The decade was one of confrontation between the West and the Arab/ Muslim world, a "clash of civilisations" as it was dubbed by Samuel Huntingdon in 1993. The West’s determination to bring the region to its knees and for it to follow US diktat was further advanced through such initiatives as the Mediterranean Dialogue between Europe, North Africa and the Middle East (including Israel), the Istanbul Cooperation Initiative, Partnerships for Peace, and the Gulf Cooperation Council, all of which NATO and the US use to advance its agenda for the region.
There is increasing worldwide disgust with Israeli atrocities against the Palestinians (70 per cent of Germans see Israeli policy as a "war of extermination" and 50 per cent equate its treatment of Palestinians with Nazi treatment of Jews), which has given impetus to a growing BDS (boycott-disinvest-sanctions) movement, and even official Western pressure to end the blockade of Gaza. Yet, because of powerful Israeli lobbies in all Western countries, Western governments have yet to show any real commitment to forcing Israel to negotiate seriously with the Palestinians, and there is little hope that the region will throw off its heavy legacy of conflict and tragedy in the next ten years.

I posted this with the preface above because I was appalled to read, here on 12.160Mhz, a post by a member that specifically said, "not Allah" in reference to Americans and God. Here in this country we honor and we're fighting to retain only one thing, freedom. With that freedom comes ALL freedom meaning we accept religious freedom as well. That doesn't mean we only accept Christians. It means we accept, allow and freely tolerate Baptists, Lutheran, Methodists, Mormons, Protestants, Jews, Buddhists and believers in Islam.
If there is a God you can believe that whatever we choose to call him, God, Yeshuah, Yahweh, Buddha, Elohim, Elohay or Allah, the same entity answers to all and if there is a supreme being there's surely only one and we will all answer to it.
