im sure there are jews... ive been asked to apologize for the actions of 9-11, and im neither arab, nor was i hijacking any planes.
By whom? Please reference the thread. As for asking Israelis or Jews to apologize to you, why would you want to validate and perpetuate such an ignorant reaction? Do you desire to be held responsible for the actions of all other Muslims?
exactly my point. i found it pathetic that someone would want me to apologize for the actions of someone that i neither condone nor relate myself to in any way. Just because they claim to be of the same religion as me does not make me responsible for their actions. and im too damn lazy to reference the thread, maybe later.
If it was pathetic, then please don't perpetuate it. I'm still curious to see who it was. Apparently a Jew or Israeli based on your previous post. With all of the suicide bombings over the years, I don't recall any Jews or Israeli's here asking for any apologies from any Muslims. Seems like you would at least remember who it was?
no, it wasnt a jew or israeli per say, I was just putting the apologize for them game in someone elses hand to see how the response would be. If a hindu terrorist was burning down muslim houses, i wouldnt expect other hindus to apoligize, but based on previous posts, i would still wonder why the same persons who asked muslims to apologize for the actions of one dont step up now... i think the culprits were in this thread http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=83662&highlight=apologizing+terrorists&z=1
Exactly!! As a Muslim, I will not apologize for any terrorist act because I do not condone any terrorist act nor am I a participant. Similarly, I hold no Jew or Israeli responsible for any of this, unless they physically participated in it.
Settlers are not good people, m'kay? Many of them are French and American fantatics. They don't think arabs are people, and they do stuff like this ALL THE TIME. It's in Israeli papers more often than I really want to know. In Hebron its the worst of them. They are mostly affiliated with "Kach" and the late Meyer Kahane. Google is your friend, but for those without the patience, his political party was outlawed for "incitement to racism." They are mostly in Hebron, and their ideology is shockingly violent and racist. It isn't israeli paranoia or hyperbole to compare them to Nazis. They really are that bad. These are the same core people who killed Rabin. They do other nasty things, like spray paint racist grafitti in orange saying things like "God is punishing Sharon for leaving Gaza" or "Death to Arabs" and spray painting "Hitler" on Ben-Gurion's Grave (who they hated). Recently in Sde-Boker, the kibbutz where he is buried, some settlers sabotaged things there (water pumps I think) and spray painted those orange too. Imagine how it feels to be an 18 year old Israeli kid whose job is to protect people like this from the angry Arabs who have been screwed by them, and start shooting you. And you have to shoot them back. So, I think its justified to call them terrorists. It doesn't make you anti-Israeli to say it.
