And what does the US have to be blamed for in the Middle East?
The creation and fostering of numerous right-wing authoritarian regimes based on oil-wealth which they aid through their over-dependence on Middle-Eastern oil?
The creation and fostering of a right-wing authoritarian regime in Israel, a nation which they may not be directly responsible for the creation of, they are responsible for it's ongoing existence.
The creation of several anti-Soviet and Terrorist groups during the Cold War which have lingered and now are in open opposition to the US's own stated policy positions in SW Asia and the Middle-East.
That's just a few of their sins...

. I love that you actually feel you can call others ignorant. Anyway, Let me entertain your propositions for this purpose and let me ask you, let's say it's true that Te US "created" terrorist groups and authoritarian governments, is it also the uS that told them all to follow interpretations of Islam that are anti liberal in every way? Or did that part come about because Islam allows itself to be interpreted in such a manner that denies people their basic human rights?
Look up the history of the Taliban. It is primarily a creation of the CIA and the Pakistani ISI. They gave them free copies of the K'ran and encouraged them to read and follow it's example as a means to liberate Afghanistan. The CIA has a long history of using religion to motivate it's various resistance groups in Vietnam/Laos/Tibet/Italy and the already mentioned Afghanistan.
Quote:And also - do you believe Israel has a right to exist as a state?
I am on record here as supporting it's existence as a state. What is done cannot easily be undone. I just wish it had been established as a Multicultural/Multireligious state, rather than purely a Jewish one. Israel was the creation of the Zionists who sold the West the lie of "a people for an empty land". It wasn't empty, the Palestinians lived there.
Israel is a secular state, so I'm not exactly sure what the hell youre talking about when it comes to Israel not being multicultural or multi religious.
The basis of Israeli citizenship is being a Jew. It is a Jewish state. Muslims and Christians are treated as a minority and suffer accordingly. Read up about the
Israeli nationality law and get back to us, OK?
Quote:And thank you for showing that it is in fact the ideas of Islam that cause the fascist regimes.
*SIGH*, do you even know what "fascism" is?

Where did the Taliban get their Q'rans from? The CIA and ISI. Therefore, ultimately the fault lies with the US and Pakistani governments.
Quote:It doesn't matter who gave people the Koran, what matters is that after reading it they went nuts and created a crazy state founded on the basis of the religion. That's the actual cause and the actual problem, that Islam allows itself to be interpreted to such a fascist ideology.
You mean like the Israelis have? I mean, founding their state on the basis of membership of the Jewish faith.
What the Q'ran did, was inspire them when interpreted in a fundamentalist manner. Guess who established and funded the Madrassahs where that fundamentalism was taught? The CIA and the ISI.
