 Well, quite interesting.  I have never seen the forum with this  kind of
 intensive and educative debate before. I think Yus Jow who calls the 
Muslims
 terrorists, and that the Israelis are suffering  as much as the 
Palestinians
 should have joined the debate too.

 Thanks guys for all the interesting information.

 Saul S.Jawara.
