If I may interject here, I believe that painting in a broad brush is a mistake in all cases, Muslim world not excluded. Yes there is deep hate against the USA in many Muslim countries for many reasons, some justified, some not so. But there are some countries with people who look up to the USA...
Some words about the author of this opinion piece:
* He Supported Palestinian terror attacks against Israeli civilians.
* Many consider him to be the most radical journalist in Israel.
* He was listed as the main reason to leave the newspaper by it's readers.
* He was caught fabricating stories...
Notice how it's an Opinion piece, that's because this is all it is an opinion. And the fact that such drivel us published in a newspaper that is anti Israel and has been caught spreading lies against Israel and it's population multiple times this year alone in English (and apologized, but only...
I have not, I merely stated that the democratically legal ways you refer to would allow a president to remain in office against the wishes of 99.9999% of the population. Which means they are not enough in every case if you care to uphold the wishes of the people. I did not say that that's the...
@Developereo
False. The people on the streets do not have control over the house of representatives. Even if every single citizen of Egypt, every one of the 90 millions nation, except the few hundreds representatives, were in the streets there was nothing legal to be done. According to you it...
@Developereo
Yes, but it can only be done by the House of the representatives. As I have said before democracy does not mean giving absolute power to a group of people for a 4 year term. Ultimately Democracy is the rule of the people, representatives are there to represent and they draw their...
@RAMPAGE
Many of those deserve respect even from a non Muslim like myself. It seems that he truly wanted the best for his country, that can't be taken away. Still it seems that his ideas of "improving" Egypt were opposed to those of many, if not most Egyptians in one way or another. Good will...
@Developereo
The only democratic avenue left was an all out violent reaction, which no doubt would have led to a lot more blood shed.
What you don't seem to understand is that democratic election does not give the elected government tyrannical powers for the 4 year period, they still have to...
@Spring Onion
This is what you said:
No where in the article you brought are the terrorists viewed as heroes, it is written clearly that the west still views them as terrorists. The west admits that on this matter their interests are similar in the short term, that's it. Way better than...
@asad71
Well you're right Iran is no Uganda, but it isn't the 70's any more either.
The failure of USA in that raid was 0% due to Iran and 100% because of planning and execution failings.
The operation has failed before encountering a single Iranian soldier. So giving the credit for the...
So when the west interferes (like in Libya) damn them for interfering with Arab matters.
when the west does not interfere then damn them for not helping the Arabs, they only want blood.
nice logic.
I don't think we are special. I have no problem with others having the bomb in general.
I do have a problem with a regime that has threatened my country having the bomb.
I have a problem with a regime that fund, trainד and supplies weapons to my enemies Hezballah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad...
There is no need to destroy every single one of them. During WW2 the allies only hit one part of the Nazi nuclear program but that discouraged the Nazis from going on (heavy water plant).
It is not at all as trivial to rebuild infrastructure that cost billions as some people here would make...
Or to Sudan, between Egypt and KSA, or to bomb the Syrian reactor skirting the Turkish border.
Or all the way to Uganda in the 70's with commercial planes.
Impossible is nothing.

The thing is, There is no apartheid in Israel. Yes some ignorant hateful individuals, or some brainwashed people may believe that, but any person who would investigate would see the truth with ease.
The western governments are not dumb and they are certainly not uninformed, so they will never...
