    Here it comes again; "stick together", "do not make any presumptions" and "unite, don't hate."

    You forgot: Solidarity! This has nothing to do with Islam.

    In Germany we call this behavior "sadness folklore"

    In case you haven't noticed, "we" (i.e. the West) already are
    and have been for several decades

    The crime of making Americans aware of their own history"
    http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com...-making-americans-aware-of-their-own-history/


    EXCERPT "Is history getting too close for comfort for the fragile little American heart and mind? Their schools and their favorite media have done an excellent job of keeping them ignorant of what their favorite country has done to the rest of the world, but lately some discomforting points of view have managed to find their way into this well-defended American consciousness.

    What, then, is the basis of all this? What has the United States actually been doing in the Middle East in the recent past?

    • the shooting down of two Libyan planes in 1981

    • the bombing of Lebanon in 1983 and 1984

    • the bombing of Libya in 1986

    • the bombing and sinking of an Iranian ship in 1987

    • the shooting down of an Iranian passenger plane in 1988

    • the shooting down of two more Libyan planes in 1989

    • the massive bombing of the Iraqi people in 1991

    • the continuing bombings and draconian sanctions against Iraq for the next 12 years

    • the bombing of Afghanistan and Sudan in 1998

    • the habitual support of Israel despite the routine devastation and torture it inflicts upon the Palestinian people

    • the habitual condemnation of Palestinian resistance to this

    • the abduction of “suspected terrorists” from Muslim countries, such as Malaysia, Pakistan, Lebanon and Albania, who were then taken to places like Egypt and Saudi Arabia, where they were tortured

    • the large military and hi-tech presence in Islam’s holiest land, Saudi Arabia, and elsewhere in the Persian Gulf region

    • the support of numerous undemocratic, authoritarian Middle East governments from the Shah of Iran to Mubarak of Egypt to the Saudi royal family

    • the invasion, bombing and occupation of Afghanistan, 2001 to the present, and Iraq, 2003 to the present

    • the bombings and continuous firing of missiles to assassinate individuals in Somalia, Yemen, Pakistan, and Libya during the period of 2006-2011

    It can’t be repeated or emphasized enough. The biggest lie of the “war on terrorism”, although weakening, is that the targets of America’s attacks have an irrational hatred of the United States and its way of life, based on religious and cultural misunderstandings and envy. The large body of evidence to the contrary includes a 2004 report from the Defense Science Board, “a Federal advisory committee established to provide independent advice to the Secretary of Defense.” The report states:

    Muslims do not hate our freedom, but rather they hate our policies. The overwhelming majority voice their objections to what they see as one-sided support in favor of Israel and against Palestinian rights, and the long-standing, even increasing, support for what Muslims collectively see as tyrannies, most notably Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Pakistan and the Gulf states. Thus, when American public diplomacy talks about bringing democracy to Islamic societies, this is seen as no more than self-serving hypocrisy."CONTINUED

    AND

    "Iraq Deaths"
    http://www.justforeignpolicy.org/iraq


    EXCERPT "A study, published in prestigious medical journal The Lancet, estimated that over 600,000 Iraqis had been killed as a result of the invasion as of July 2006. Iraqis have continued to be killed since then. The death counter provides a rough daily update of this number based on a rate of increase derived from the Iraq Body Count. (See the complete explanation.)

    The estimate that over a million Iraqis have died received independent confirmation from a prestigious British polling agency in January 2008. Opinion Research Business estimated that the death toll between March 2003 and August 2007 was 1,033,000." CONTINUED

    Unless you are currently serving in the US military you are simply a bystander content to sent OTHER PEOPLE to die in some squalid hell-hole far, far from home:

    "All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting."

    ~George Orwell

    Not a bad thing, really. You'll end up knowing the actual names of cheeses. Also, your chocolate will be dark and your coffee much better.
