What is your opinion about the people of Palesinian?

Following is the statement from abducted journalist Mr. Steve Centanni.

"I hope that this never scares a single journalist away from coming to Gaza to cover the story because the Palestinian people are very beautiful and kindhearted," said Steve Centanni, a 60-year-old American reporter who was released along with cameraman Olaf Wiig, 36, of New Zealand. "The world needs to know more about them."

    Absolutely, the world should know more about the Palestinian people. First of all, I believe that they are descendants of the Philistines, a people who lived in Biblical times. Wikipedia has some excellent information on the origin of Palestine and the Palestinians. Read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinians and here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine. The boundaries of Palestine are not clear but that is not the issue. The issue is what has happened to the Palestinian people since the state of Israel was formed in 1948 and how their rights to self determination have been taken from them. Please visit this website for a full history and current information on the plight of the Palestinian people: http://www.thejerusalemfund.org/palestinecenter/in... I thank you for giving me this opportunity to speak on their behalf.

    To learn about some one you study what they have said in the past. The Palestine people have stated that the only way they would live in peace is if ALL of the Jews were driven into the Mederrrian Sea. They teach their children that all Jews are bad and that they have the right to kill them.

    I know many Palestinians, and I agree that of those I know, they are excellent human beings. Unfortunately, I must admit that they are not representative of all the people. They would not kidnap, kill or maim, unless attacked. In our society, unless the law controlled it, we would still have lynchings of blacks. That ignorant hatred is still out there and we all know it. The reason it doesn't happen (often) is LAW and enforcement.......if we are successful in Iraq, mass gas attacks killing 1000's will be history there too.....

    UN decision 3236 - acknowledges the Palestinian peoples' precise to self decision UN decision 607 - strongly requests Israel abide by utilising the Fourth Geneva convention. probable the main needed one is UN decision 181 which demands: -The creation of a Palestinian State, whose limitations are precise. -The designation of Jerusalem as a international zone. -The adoption of a shape for the Jewish State, of which the State of Israel would not have until eventually finally at present. -"No expropriation of land owned by utilising an Arab in a Jewish State must be allowed aside from public applications". -persons residing in Palestine shall "grow to be electorate of the State wherein they are resident and luxuriate in finished civil and political rights." -Jaffa must be an Arab Enclave interior the Jewish State. My opinion is that if we are able to tension Iraq to abide by utilising 3 UN resolutions they have been in violation of, why won't be able to we tension Israel to abide by utilising the 20+ they are in violation of? Hamas has noted as FOR the destruction of Israel. Israel IS destroying Palestine, taking land, razing residences, killing civilians at a value of three:a million (for each Israeli killed, Israel has killed 3 Palestinians). All with economic and militia help from the U. S..

    Yes I do agree. The world seems to be against the Plestinians. No one knows what they have to suffer. Their country was taken from them and given to Israel, they have had civil and Israeli wars ever since. they cannot walk their own streets with out fear of bombings or other attacks.

    The two Fox News journalists kidnapped by Palestinian terrorists in Gaza two weeks ago have been freed. They said they were forced to convert to Islam, "but it was only because they had the guns."

    In another forum a guy named Elliott said:

    "WOW! in only 1400 years, Moslems have progressed from forcing people to convert at swordpoint to forcing them to convert at gunpoint. Who says there's no progress in the Moslem world."

    The two are 60-year-old Steve Centanni and his 36-year-old cameraman Olaf Wiig of New Zealand. They were both seen on a seconds-long video immediately after being freed; Centanni appeared tearful and very emotional, while Wiig was seen running towards and up a set of stairs and appeared angry. They are reportedly in the Beach Hotel in Gaza City.

    Because of taqiyyah and nifaq, a Muslim will not merely accept an affirmation that a person accepts Islam. Taqiyah (lying to safeguard Islam) is what Muslims do when they are in danger. The prime reason for taqiyah is that a person may say something with his lips but have Islam in his heart. The opposite is nifaq (hipocrisy) to say with ones lips that he accepts Islam and say the creed (shahada) "I believe there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger" but in his heart he does not believe in Islam. That is why a person who claims to be a Muslim will not be believed. It is only a first step.

    A person must accept the Qur'an as his holy book. During the journey to heaven (miraj)Muhammad was appointed by Allah to bring the Qur'an to mankind. A person must learn the Qur'an in Arabic. A person must submit totally to Allah and pray 5 times per day in a prescribed way. A person must try to get others to convert. A person must contribute money to Islamic charities.

    Now when everybody else converts or feels sufficiently subdued to pay the submission tribute (jizyahz) a caliphate can be established and everyone can live peacefully happily ever after in perpetual utopia.

    Jihad. If the whole world has not submitted to Islam, after your faith is stronger you may be asked to participate in converting others or eliminating them. This is jihad in the cause of Allah. Do you know how to make a bomb? If you strap one to your chest, go into a crowded place with infidels and eliminate them by exploding the bomb, you will wake up in paradise. This is the true believer - mumin (mumeen). If you do not want to die you can contribute money.

    To understand the verse below there are some Arabic words and phrases that are difficult to translate:

    Mumin (true Muslim believer)

    mujahid (a mumin who fights in jihad fee sybil Allah)

    jihad fee sybil Allah (the struggle in the cause of Allah against the infidels roughly - but inaccurately -translated in English as holy war)

    qaad - sedentary people

    Here are two English translations:

    Qur'an Sura Al-Nesã´ 4:95

    Those of the believers who sit at home, excepting the disabled ones, and those who strive in the cause of Allah with their wealth and their persons, are not equal. Allah has exalted in rank those who strive with their wealth and their persons above those who sit at home. And to each Allah has promised good. And Allah has exalted those who strive above those who sit at home, by a great reward - (Sher Ali translation)

    The two are not equal: those who sit at home (and do not join the fighting) _ unless they have a reason; they are handicapped _ and those who strive hard in the path of Allah with their wealth and lives. Over those who sit at home, Allah has excelled and elevated to a higher honor those who strive hard with their wealth and lives. Compared to those who sit at home, Allah will award a far greater reward to those who wage a struggle. (Munir Munshey translation)

    لَا يَسْتَوِي الْقَعِدُونَ مِنْ الْمُؤْم��نِينَ غَيْرُ أُوْلِي الضَّرَرِ وَالْمُجَهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِأَمْوَلِهِمْ وَأَنفُسِهِمْ فَضَّلَ اللَّهُ الْمُجَهِدِينَ بِأَمْوَلِهِمْ وَأَنفُسِهِمْ عَلَى الْقَعِدِينَ دَرَجَةً وَكُلًّا وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الْحُسْنَى وَفَضَّلَ اللَّهُ الْمُجَهِدِينَ عَلَى الْقَعِدِينَ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا

    La yastawee alqaAAidoona** mina almu-mineena*** ghayru olee alddarari waalmujahidoona*** fee sabeeli Allahi*** bi-amwalihim waanfusihim faddala Allahu almujahideena bi-amwalihim waanfusihim AAala alqaAAideena darajatan wakullan waAAada Allahu alhusna wafaddala Allahu almujahideena*** AAala alqaAAideena ajran AAatheeman

    You might want to read the Islamic concept of Al-Taqiyah to infiltrate and destroy kafir countries by Dr. Walid Phares. Taqiyah is done to prevent the new converts from seeing the real face of Islam; at least until their faith or mental conditioning is strong enough to make them turn against their own country and people.

    In America, some women use strap on dildos, not strap on bombs. The Palestrina's are lost.
