Zz please post sources for your lies.
I'm not going to say Z lies, but since I have been here, I think I have been given one source this whole time by Z..... usually the rest of the time we're just to take him for his word..... as I understand his approach. :-?
When it comes to sectioning off humans based on their religion or race as being our "Natural Friends" ~ Well who's Natural friends? Do any of you even know a thing about me, my background? Maybe I'm Muslim..... so they're my natural friends?
Maybe I'm Christian..... so they're my natural friends? Then again, maybe I'm Hindu, or Athiest, or I worship flying butt monkies.......
Or does that statement mean that anybody who lives in North America (The West) has a natural friendship with Jews?
Why with the Jewish? Why not anybody else?
Seriously, what have they really done above and beyond any other religous organization/community to warrent them "Natural Friends/Allies" to me or any of us?
General statments like that seem like indirected propaganda to influence people's opinions into a defaulted sympathy reaction.
Just like "Respect your Elders." No sorry, I've always been taught that respect is earned not simply given...... and I have met my fair share of arrogant, crabby, disrespectful and ignorant seniors in my life..... just because they're old farts, doesn't mean I have to kiss their ass anymore then anybody else on this planet..... and when I'm older and I become more of a jerk to the youngins in the world, I would hope them youngsters give me attitude back to remind me to check myself.
Back to the "Jews are our natural friends" statement...... Nobody is my natural friend until I know and trust them..... just because you hold to a paticular religion, doesn't give you a green light to move into my home and live with me.
And even by some remote factor that they are "Natural Friends", if we were all true friends, then wouldn't you tell your friend the truth if you felt they were doing something wrong?
Friendship also means you don't just let your friend do stupid things and not speak up.
What sort of friend would that be?
If the source is available on a quick google search, or wikipedia or a search of a few major news organization (BBC, Al-Jazeera, even..ug, "CNN") then I don't think its required to cite a specific source when 30 or 40 sources saying the same thing pop up at once with a five second key stroke.
Likewise, I usually just do my own research on an event (as long as it is properly described with a date or place or something to use), and If I am having trouble finding the information then I ask.
If there is something specific you want info on and can't find I will be happy to either post or PM it to you.
My cousin, older than I am, when I was in the secondary school, said to me about some Arab, and how do they respect their cleric:
The Arab said to his friend about the cleric: "This is the one that makes your father lawful for you mother!"
I went on admiring the cleric since then; but later on I understood it is not like that, but actually: "It is God that makes the father lawful for the mother, and the cleric is not more than a writer who writes [the marriage certificate] according to the law of God, without which the marriage will be an adultery"
Therefore, according to the religion of God, man will know who are his friends and who are his enemies;
his friends are those loyal and devoted to God, and his enemies are those enemies of God, like Satan the adversary of God:
This is in the Quran 35: 6
إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ فَاتَّخِذُوهُ عَدُوًّا إِنَّمَا يَدْعُو حِزْبَهُ لِيَكُونُوا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ السَّعِيرِ
The explanation:
(Surely Satan is an enemy to you [who works to destroy you];
so take him for an enemy [and follow him not.]
He calls his party [to disobey God in this World] only that they [in the Hereafter] may be among the inhabitants of the Blaze.)
JERUSALEM (CNN) -- An Israeli navy gunboat fired shells onto a northern Gaza beach Friday, killing at least seven people and prompting the military wing of Hamas to call off a 16-month-old cease-fire with Israel.
The Israel Defense Forces said it was firing on rocket-launching areas in Gaza after a militant attack earlier in the day. The target areas were believed to be uninhabited, a representative said.
A spokesman for Hamas, Sami Abu Zuhri, said it was "impossible to remain silent" after viewing "terrifying pictures of the women and children" on the beach.
"These demonstrations emphasize the necessity of the renewal of the struggle," he said. (Watch the aftermath on the beach -- :46)
A mass demonstration erupted in Gaza City, and protesters Friday evening were demanding revenge for recent attacks that include the beach shelling and Thursday's killing of a Hamas official in an Israeli missile strike.
Palestinians were picnicking when the Israeli shells slammed into the beach, Palestinian medical sources said. About 20 people were injured in the attack, Palestinian security sources said...

Even those who follow and believe in God can do wrong, which has been proven countless times in the past..... therefore just because someone believes in Satan, or God, or Jesus, or Mohammed, or the Ninja Turtles, doesn't make them my natural friend by default.
If those who believe and hold faith in God could do no wrong and all their actions were done perfectly to God's liking, then there wouldn't be a need for religion and people wouldn't need to seek out God in the first place..... they wouldn't be asking for his forgivness in the wrongs they have done, there wouldn't be a long list of commandments and rules to follow, because we'd just follow them based on instincts.
All of it exists because humans are flawed, no matter the race, gender, location or religion..... none of us are perfect, and because of that, none of us should simply give other's a green light in their actions and decisions, simply because of their religious beliefs.
There were four rockets fired in July, not 3, plus 4 mortars.
The beach shell incident was first apolized for by Israel, then denied when they investigated the facts. No shells were fired into the area where the Palestinian family was. Oddly, the Palestinan ambulance and camera crew knew the shell was coming and were johnny on the spot.
Yeah ... and there just happened to be cameras on hand at WTC 2. Be anywhere in Gaza or Israel and something is bound to go BOOM eventually....
Yeah tourists with videocams in New York City. Who woulda thunk it? :-?
Interesting how you made that up considering how so many of those who protest against Zionism every year are Orthodox Jews:
