It is amazing how people cement their belief into a small box without even considering that they could be wrong. If I go to a libertarian site, the people there would be celebrating the death of Sheikh Yassin while at the forums monopolized by the Muslims, most of them would be cursing Israel for killing the one of Hamas’ leaders.

I wonder, would he find a place in heaven or in fire down below? Was he a martyr or was he a killer?

As a brother in Islam, I can’t help but feel enrage by Israel’s action. How could one kill a helpless person that was sitting on a wheelchair in front of the mosque? How could Israel fire a missile from high up in the sky targeted at an old man down below?

But then, how could such a respected person, revered highly by most of the Muslims all around the world condone suicide bombing when clearly Islam prohibits suicide? How could such a person allow the killing to continue when he had every power to stop it?

The advocates of Israel would say that the killing was necessary to discourage further infiltration of Israel. But don’t they know that they are pouring more fuel to the raging fire? Would killing stop further killing from happening in their case?

For the sympathizers of Palestine, why do you curse Israel’s action but totally ignore the devastating effect of suicide bombing? Is being killed by a suicide bomber is any different than being killed by a missile?
I’ve always thought death is death. Is there any different between being killed by an AK-47 bullet and by a missile launched from a F-16?

Good Lord! A spade is a spade.

And for God's sake, why can't these people make peace?

For an idealist like me, who are sitting in front my computer without having to fear the possibility of being killed by a suicide bomber or facing the possibility my home being demolished by a bulldozer tomorrow, of course it’s easy for me to say why can’t they just negotiate.

And do you know why it’s easy to say that?

Because there is peace.

When there is peace, we are not supposed to be blinded by bias and prejudice like most of those Israelis and the Palestinians and the advocates of both sides. When there is peace, we are supposed to be more rational, more objective in our thinking and belief.

If you are the one that curses Israel for the oppression that they have done but say nothing when a suicide bomber pays an Israeli a visit or the one that says Israel has every right to defend itself while disregarding the Palestinians' rights, then you are a bigot – you don’t deserve this peace that I am, and possibly you too, are enjoying.

Seriously, all you bigots should go to the Gaza Strip or Jerusalem or anywhere in or near Israel and fight for the side that you are cheering for. Die for your cause if you truly believe in Hamas or Sharon’s method.

Let us the idealists have our peace while you are pouring your own blood for some dead cause.

And if you share my religion, ask yourself this, does your God endorses these killings? If you say yes, then your God is not my God.
