It's hopeless and there's no one flying over three seconds after a missile blows up to return the favor 4 fold. This is a muslim forum. Where else are these images going to be posted? I appreciate the need to tread carefully. But I'm surprised that the Islamic community is laying low regarding Palestine. I think that it is not so much the volume of these images that fuel terrorism as the attenuation of them. Things are really bad when an Israeli has your back

Bismillah,

I don't think so.  Good people have a lot of different labels.

Salaamu Alaykum

Dear Palestine,

It is horrible.  It is ALL horrible.  I am not saying one is right and the other is wrong.....BOTH ARE WRONG!  Can't anyone understand that?  BOTH ARE EQUALLY WRONG!  No, I cannot do a "body count" amah.  What would you say IF it turned out (hypothetically) that more Jewish children were fatally wounded than Palestinian children?  What if I asked you how many children the hamas suicide bombers have killed?  It's irrelevant.  The ONLY THING that matters is that both sides are killing innocent people. 

To keep on blaming this side, and then that side is an effort in futility, and only fires the flames of hatred.  Why is that so difficult to comprehend?  Unless EVERYONE agrees to sit down and TALK and work out their problems, it will not stop.  I can guarantee you that.  The killing, bombing, maiming, and suffering will NOT stop unless the ADULTS (and I use that term very lightly) put the guns, bombs, dynamite, rocket launchers, etc., etc., down, and then sit themselves down and discuss, communicate, learn to give and take, compromise, and come to agreements in the Middle East.  Otherwise, there is, quite simply put, absolutely no hope for anyone. 

I have been wondering this too.  Maybe someone can answer it for me.  How does Allah/God view hating other human beings here on earth?  Is there some "loophole" by which you can justify hatred for another person?  Can you hate other human beings....hold hatred in your heart for them, and still enter Paradise?  I know in my religion this is not possible.  It is one of the greatest sins.

Peace be with you....

We are bombarded all day long, every day with the videos of children and babies who are being killed in the Middle East.  I am not a bigot.  I love ALL children.  Are the innocent Jewish children less important than the Palestinian children?  In my heart I love them all.  If you're going to post links showing dead Palestinian children, why not post equally distressing posts showing dead Jewish children?  I'm not Jewish, btw, I am Roman Catholic.

We all need to live as God/Allah expects us, and it's quite apparent we are NOT doing that.  Compassion must be shown to all little kids.  Even the kids from the "other side" of the battles.  As Jesus said, "suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven."  This hatred has got to stop on ALL sides.

Peace be with you.....
