| Did you hear me ever denying that? Never said it. I am just stating that Robert is bashing Islam left and right. However looking back at christianity in the old days, they were very violent. Its just today the Islamist extremists are the worst. Extremists in general are the worst. |

| I understand why you disagree with me now. I am against 9-11 and other terrorism against the United States, this upsets you greatly as we can see. Feel free to defend your position. __________________ "If you can read this, thank a teacher. And since it's in English, thank a soldier." |

Jews march in Poland in memory of Holocaust The annual event held at the former death camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau Alik Keplicz / AP updated 20 minutes ago OSWIECIM, Poland - Some 10,000 young Jews, Poles and World War II survivors took part in the March of the Living on Thursday, an annual event at the former Nazi death camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau that honors the memory of some 6 million Jews who perished in the Holocaust. This year's march, the 17th, started with the blowing of the shofar, or ram's horn, at the iron gate — crowned with the words "Arbeit Macht Frei," or "Work Sets You Free" — that leads into the former camp of Auschwitz. The misleading inscription was to suggest to inmates they were coming to work, not die here. The Israeli army chief of staff, Lt. Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi, led the long column of marchers, accompanied by some camp survivors carrying the Torah and fellow Israeli troops in uniform. "Each and every one of us should do our utmost to ensure: Never again," Ashkenazi said. The Kaddish — the Jewish prayer for the dead — was spoken at a huge stone monument to the camp's victims at Birkenau. At least 1.1 million people, including Jews, Poles and Roma, perished in the camp's gas chambers or from starvation, disease and forced labor before Soviet troops liberated it in January 1945. Israel also held observances in memory of Jews killed in the Nazi Holocaust, with sirens wailing and traffic halting for two minutes across the country. Marchers from 50 countries In Poland marchers from some 50 countries in matching raincoats formed a sea of blue, with Israeli white-and-blue national flags fluttering overhead. There was an occasional drizzle as they walked in Oswiecim, the Polish city where the occupying Germans built the complex. They walked in silence along a 2-mile stretch from the red brick houses of Auschwitz to Birkenau, another area of the camp that is the site of wooden barracks and ruins of the gas chambers. Survivor Leib Zisman was visiting Birkenau for the first time since January 1945, when the Nazis forced the inmates to walk out of the camp in frost and snow to flee the advancing Soviet army. "I walked into the barracks in Birkenau and I recognized the beds that I slept in," said Zisman, 77, of Long Island, N.Y. "The memories are very vivid; I remember everything." The then 13-year-old Zisman was brought to Birkenau in 1944 from the Kovno ghetto in Lithuania, where his parents died. From Birkenau, he was taken to camps in Germany, where he was liberated by U.S. troops. "It's really emotional and I can only say I am sad that I haven't come here sooner, but I wasn't ready," he said. Among the marchers was Avram Grant, the Israeli manager of English soccer club Chelsea. It was his seventh visit to Auschwitz. This time, he brought his 14-year-old son, Daniel, and wife, Tsofit. His Polish-born father survived the Holocaust, but many other members of his family were killed. "It was terrible how people behaved to other people," Grant said. "It is good that they kept a place like this as a memory and as education that to hate someone is not the right way." Teenage participants also stressed the power of remembering. "The most amazing feeling of the march is togetherness," said Elana Weiner, a 17-year-old student from Tucson, Ariz. "We are the key to the future and if we remember and promise to never forget, then the rest of the world won't." Copyright 2008 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

In case you don't know, like your buddy McCain, the people responsible for 9/11 are Bin Laden and his private rogue organization called Al Qaeda, not everyone in the Middle East. |

In 1993, the Iraqi Intelligence Service (IIS) directed and pursued an attempt to assassinate, through the use of a powerful car bomb, former U.S. President George Bush and the Emir of Kuwait. Kuwaiti authorities thwarted the terrorist plot and arrested 16 suspects, led by two Iraqi nationals. Iraq shelters terrorist groups including the Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO), which has used terrorist violence against Iran and in the 1970s was responsible for killing several U.S. military personnel and U.S. civilians. Iraq shelters several prominent Palestinian terrorist organizations in Baghdad, including the Palestine Liberation Front (PLF), which is known for aerial attacks against Israel and is headed by Abu Abbas, who carried out the 1985 hijacking of the cruise ship Achille Lauro and murdered U.S. citizen Leon Klinghoffer. Iraq shelters the Abu Nidal Organization, an international terrorist organization that has carried out terrorist attacks in twenty countries, killing or injuring almost 900 people. Targets have included the United States and several other Western nations. Each of these groups have offices in Baghdad and receive training, logistical assistance, and financial aid from the government of Iraq. In April 2002, Saddam Hussein increased from $10,000 to $25,000 the money offered to families of Palestinian suicide/homicide bombers. The rules for rewarding suicide/homicide bombers are strict and insist that only someone who blows himself up with a belt of explosives gets the full payment. Payments are made on a strict scale, with different amounts for wounds, disablement, death as a "martyr" and $25,000 for a suicide bomber. Mahmoud Besharat, a representative on the West Bank who is handing out to families the money from Saddam, said, "You would have to ask President Saddam why he is being so generous. But he is a revolutionary and he wants this distinguished struggle, the intifada, to continue." Former Iraqi military officers have described a highly secret terrorist training facility in Iraq known as Salman Pak, where both Iraqis and non-Iraqi Arabs receive training on hijacking planes and trains, planting explosives in cities, sabotage, and assassinations __________________ "If you can read this, thank a teacher.
