Like I said, the slaves are not comparable to Hamas, because their dominant religion did not command them to seek out white people and kill them. And yes, I know, Islam lived in peace with Jews for centuries in Palestine. But that is not the brand that the Palestinians practice to a large extent-- and why other MUSLIM countries will not take them in.

IтАЩm not comparing the slaves to Hamas. IтАЩm comparing Nat Turner to Hamas. The slaves, in this analogy, are the ordinary Palestinians who are being oppressed and whose oppression is justified, in part, by the actions of extremists.

My point, which people all across this debate are missing, is that the Palestinians are not Hamas sny more than the slaves were Nat Turner.

And yeah, I think weтАЩre all in serious trouble if any of the Abrahamic religions start doing every silly thing written in their books. Fortunately the overwhelming majority of Muslims, Jews and Christians donтАЩt. Again, millions of Muslims live side by side with Jews and Christians and atheists without killing them. Including in Israel.

Actually exponentially more Muslims live side by side with Jews in Israel than in any Muslim nation-- and maybe more than in all of them combined. And in the Western countries, they ain't lookin' so hot right now.

What do you mean? And what point are you making re: Muslims in Israel?
