You claim that the events of 9/11 led to your transformation into a neocon. I am a Muslim and an Iraqi. During the 1st Gulf War I returned from an afternoon with relatives to the house of my grandfather to find nothing but rubble. I’m sure you can appreciate the numbing feeling of knowing I had been anywhere from an hour to minutes away from being taken out by an American cruise missile. Earlier today I read the story of how 4 American soldiers gang raped and murdered a 14 year old Iraqi girl having just killed her entire family. Now please tell me why I have not become the Arabic version of a neocon? Why do I not want Dr Sultan dead? Why do I not wish harm to you or any of your fellow Americans? Why do I wholeheartedly condemn suicide bombings? I could continue this line infinitely as I’m sure you can appreciate. I am certain your change in viewpoint was born of fear and anger at the horrific events of 9/11. A scapegoat enemy thousands of miles away who puts you and your loved ones in danger. Hence your support of the actions of your government. But surely this would entitle me to hold the exact same view towards America and Israel. the reason I do not is the teachings of my religion. This is why it infuriates me that criminal groups like Al Qaeda dirty the name of my faith. this is also why I am frustrated by the sweeping generalisations of the West and Dr Sultan.
The elite of both civilisations have their agendas and care very little for the welfare of people like you and i. The sad truth is that the governments and media of the world are breeding hatred between you and I and unfortunately the majority of us are not educated enough to see past this and realise that there are people just like us on the other side of this huge divide. people with whom we might be frienly in an ideal peaceful world.

You are officially invited to debate with Ali Sina of http://www.faithfreedom.org . . . . see you there.

The ‘edited’ clip http://switch5.castup.net/frames/20041020_MemriTV_Popup/video_480x360.asp?ai=214&ar=1050wmv&ak=null was not from Al-Jazeerah. It’s from MEMRI TV. MEMRI is the abbreviation for Middle East Media Research Institute, a pro-Israel organization with headquarters in Washington DC and its Media Centre in Israel – “… a non-profit in Washington DC that specializes in translating and circulating mainly Arab-language materials, selected to display the Arab world in a poor light, to the advantage of Israel.” http://counterpunch.org/news03292006.html

This may enlighten you about their organisation ……. Fake Saddam Interview Put Out By MEMRI : SF Bay Area Indymedia

“A knowledgeable US government official has informed “Iraq News” that the ‘remarkable’ interview with Saddam Hussein, published by MEMRI TV, is almost certainly a hoax.” Read More: http://counterpunch.org/news03292006.html

Did you not wonder if it was a debate, why was Wafa Sultan doing all the gibber-gabbering? Where are the responses from the two (2) Muslim participants in the debate? Why were they not given the opportunity to have the same air-time to respond to this woman? The way the video clip was going on-and-off so many times, isn’t it obvious to you that the debate was one-sided and had been edited! Some debate!!!

Wafa’s statements are a flagrant distortion of the truth. When it comes to terrorism Wafa is totally wrong in sugarcoating Jewish history. She fudges her claims here because Israeli authors Avi Shlaim, Tom Segev, Ilan Pappé and Benny Morris have written comprehensive and well-researched books about Israel’s history and the major role terrorism had in it.

Here are some links on what the Torah/Talmud says about Jesus Christ and Christians for you to read:

About Jesus and Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon them):

Here is an excerpt from Part 1, Chapter 1:

Article II No. 8 – Buried In Hell
The book Zohar, III, (282), tells us that Jesus died like a beast and was buried in that “dirt heap…where they throw the dead bodies of dogs and asses, and where the sons of Esau [the Christians] and of Ismael [the Turks], also Jesus and Mahommed, uncircumcized and unclean like dead dogs, are buried.”

About Christians:

Here is an excerpt from Part 2, Chapter II:

Article I. – Harm must be done to Christians
A Jew is commanded to harm Christians wherever he can, both indirectly by not helping them in any way, and also directly by wrecking their
plans and projects; neither must he save a Christian who is in danger of death.

Article II. – Christians are to be Killed
V. A Jew who kills a Christian commits no Sin, but offers an acceptable Sacrifice to God, In Speher Or Israel (177b) it says: “Take the life of
the Kliphoth (see: http://www.truthtellers.org/alerts/areadlbnaibrithmasonic.html)and kill them, and you will please God the same as one who offers
incense to Him.” And in Ialkut Simoni (245c. n. 772) it says: “Everyone who sheds the blood of the impious is as acceptable to God as he
who offers a sacrifice to God.”

3. “The Truth about the Talmud” a documented exposé of Jewish Supremacist hate literature by Michael A. Hoffman II and Alan R. Critchley
http://www.stormfront.org/jewish/talmud.html

Wafa Sultan said: “Only the Muslims defend their beliefs by burning down churches, killing people and destroying embassies.” This is totally ridiculous accusation based on lies and prejudice. And predudice needs to be identified and censured wherever and whenever it appears. The Qur`aan repeatedly emphasises the unity of mankind and yet recognises the diversity within humanity. Dialogue that is respectful, thoughtful and tolerent of different religions and cultures is a goal worth striving for – this is the way of Islam.

Did she conveniently forget to mention the 1994 Abraham Mosque Massacre in Hebron when 30 Muslims were massacred by Jews as they were praying during the holy month of Ramadhaan?

No question, the behaviour of many Muslims and what is happenings in many Muslim countries are a shame but which faith community in the world does not have that kind of derailed people and that kind of incidents?

Portraying the entire Western world “civilised” and thereby including mass-murdering liars and warmongers like Bush, Rumsfled and Cheney into the group of the “good” (because they are non-Muslim westerners) while at the same time labeling all Muslims medi-evalists or violent is dishonest and unfair hate mongering.

After reading the above information I provided you on the Talmud, please read the Qur`aan. If you’re a truthseeker, find out for yourselves who the real terrorists are. http://www.muslimaccess.com/quraan/translations/yusufali/001.htm
