Holy Shi'ite! Islam's double standard
(Judas Priest! Thomas' double standard)
By Cal Thomas

"The Pentagon has acknowledged five instances in which guards or interrogators at the detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, handled the Koran in such a way as to cause offense to some who believe it is the revealed word of Allah. Three are said to have been three deliberate and two unintentional."

Another fox investigating the hen house - ate a dozen or more detainees.

"...General Richard Myers...inappropriate treatment of etainees... these are people who would slit our throats, our children's throats" were they to be set free."

There for we can rape, sodimize, torture, humiliate, electric shock, essentially, extract revenge on humans who have not had their day in court.

"...Islamic countries apply a double standard...Jews are regularly referred to as "apes and pigs," mostly because that is what the Koran calls them."

Similar are speakers on God's Learning Channel degrading Arabs.

"Throughout much of the Islamic world, the practice of Christianity and Judaism is severely restricted, if not outlawed."

Throughout the First Roman Empire the practice of Islam and Pagans was severely punished by death - not to mention the Bibilical wars of Kings I, and II in the Old Testament (that for whatever reason is not a part of the Torah.

"The Arab world is the last bastion of unbridled, unashamed, unhidden and unbelievable anti-Semitism."

Arabs are Semites. What are you saying Mr. Cal Thomas?

"How the Arab world will ever come to terms with Israel when Israelis are portrayed as the devil incarnate is hard to figure out."

How the Isarel would will ever come to terms with the Arab world when Arabs are protrayed as the devil incarnate is hard to figure out.

"Despite the Western diplomatic talk about Arabs and Palestinians living in peace..."

In spite of Cal Thomas' lack of olive branches, Arabs and Palestinians can learn to live in peace - when both sides allow neither's hands are without blood and no one qualifies to throw the first stone.

God sends us an olive branch of 2005 via Abdul Kalam:

“You, the human race is the best of my creation,
You will live and live.
You give and give till you are united,
In human happiness and pain;
My bliss will be born in you.
Love is continuum,
That is the mission of humanity,
You will see everyday in Life Tree.
You learn and learn
My best of creations.”

and The Eagles give us their 9/11 song:

there's a hole in the world tonight
there's a cloud of fear and sorrow
there's a hole in the world tonight
don't let there be a hole tomorrow

until we learn to love one another
we won't reach the promised land
