Obama is right to unlink Islam and terror
For almost ten years it has been dinned into the minds of the citizens of the world that we are under attack by 'terrorists' who are motivated by Islamic teachings. It is well known by now that linking Islam and terrorism was concocted by those who were eager to go to war. Violence seeks to justify itself through lies. One has to make an enemy, then paint the enemy black and finally dehumanize the enemy to be able to wage a war to eliminate the enemy. Islam, in this case, is used in the same sense as Christianity was once used to justify slavery and then, later, to justify discrimination. The truth is that no religion can claim to be perfectly worded because it was written by imperfect people and it is interpreted by imperfect people. Imperfect interpretation leads to imperfect understanding and when you preach imperfect sermons to people who are impoverished, ignorant and suffer from generations of hardships you have a boiling cauldron of hate and violence. But, I am digressing.
The question is whether or not President Obama is right in passing an order not to call the Al Qaida and the Taliban as 'terrorists' and not to link them to Islam. Of course, he is right. But this should have been done at least eight years ago. After the world has been brainwashed for almost a decade will it make a difference in people's perceptions and understanding? I doubt it. Shakespeare was right when he said: What's in a name? Whether we call them terrorists or renegades or rebels or whatever they still remain, in the minds of most people, a dehumanized entity that needs to be eliminated.
I believe if President Obama seriously wishes to change the perceptions of the people and correct the mistake that has been perpetuated over a decade then let him set up an impartial commission to examine the Islamic scriptures and debunk the theory that Islam is a religion that preaches violence. I think the media should play a constructive role in educating its readers about the true message of Islam. As far as war and violence is concerned the record of no religion is perfect. We tend to interpret religion to suit our needs and to kill our conscience when it begins to raise its voice. It does not make our interpretation right, nor does it make religion wrong. We human beings are great at manipulating everything, including religion.

correction.
So think of UNITED STATE of AMERICA and INDIA & Friendly's, as Islam's, even Sino's, great Mongoose dilemma!
Note: Today; Israel and India Buy n Sell More goods and services than anytime in its 72 year history. Note: India eas Born 1947. Israel Born 1948. Let HIS/HERstory be OUR Jury, aye!?
iMPORTANT: Besides Stealing the Abrahamic Religion & borrowed from Geeta etal; islami neoNazi-TURKEY have STOLE, not Land from Israel; but Stole israels IDF Technology and Shared it with SYRIA and Iran. Not to mention wIslami PAKISTAN (a bunch of snakes who USE 'K A F i R 'S, playin us with Flutes among snake tamers), Note Islami Pakistan Stole Lots of Land from sweet sweet India, under "ALAH AKBAL" pretexts Not Israel. Note Pakistan Reverse Engineers U.S. Technology and shares such with China and N. Korea!??
Besides C H i N A; no more a Paper Tiger; Even the RUSSIANS refer to islami Turk, islami Syria, islami Paki{have aSunni-A-Bomb now) and Islami Iran(soon to aquire a Shia-B-Bomb) as "COPY-CAT" Nations!
___
Brother Gandhi's last line there reads, "WE [i] have created a CULTtureure of violence (Israeli's (None-Religious) and the Jews (Tedei/Heredi/Orthodox/religious) are the biggest players) and that CULTture of Violence is eventually going to destroy humanity."
Please see:
http://www.jpost.com/Features/FrontLines/Article.aspx?id=181574
Note: i [WE] Love SABRA's (Israeli's) but Hate (yes Hate) Them (Sanhedrin, obviously religious). Hint: It was the Ashkenazi Gomerite/Germans Who Killed some of our side because of these DRUNKIN NOAH RACIST boldy saying, GOYS/Kafir should kiss our oss's because WE (SHEMites) are the Chosen and They are Not (HAM & JASPETH).. These are thee Elders of Zion and the Elders of Al Taqiyah Whom we SABRA-Nationals have to put up against; as Enemies Within (a Bunch of Parasites not only Snakes)!
Pssst; Today is July.2010; NOt January.2008! Remember GAZA+ same year? now See Today!
WHEREFORE: 5 A M E F A 9 1; An Apology is rightly deserved now to Mr. Arun Gandhi Now! Note: in 30 Years from Now The World ill see Mr. G.W. Bush's & Co was JUST! Well same so as with Brother A.G.. MENS REA?

5 A M E F A 9 1:
Ye/Yo say'th, ".. RACIST SCREED..." Say What?
Fact: The Rabbinate/Wahhabi/Ayatollah all uphold & enforce (not Gandhi's, nor [i] etal) the Most-Evil-Story Ever-Told via Their "D-R-U-N-K-i-N -- N-O-A-H -- R-A-S-C-S-T" Story. Let alone the "S-A-R-A -- PROSTITUTION story's & the "AEGYPTIAN MASS BAY MURDERERS STORY" et a;! please See any CHUMASH or BIBLE or QURAn!!?? if Ye Not believe US. Pleazzzza, before i [WE] Begin please see
the Essay that Brethren A.G. wrote is about Situation/plight of the SABRA-Nation (to hell with a JEW-Nation) uncertainty surrounded by 'Snakes' (ISHMAELites & ESAUites vile types) & modern Israel w/Big time weapons to protect themselves., a Prophecy whose is now Come.
PS: i [WE] am a SABRAite meself (ex-JEW; now an "EKLAH"-t-iON, aka Apocalyptic-On; no more OFF). And The ashkeNAZI's [GERMANS who biblically came from G O M E R sect-tions known aas the JASPETHians according the RABBINITE Drunkin Racist Noah Story.

Note: A FREE Snake (not in a Pit) Goes about It's Business zigsout & zaggsin ying & yang; even in the GARDEN OF EDEN. A Snake in a Pit (Not Free) is NOt Free because a Human Put it/them there or it/they fell in by accident or nature).
Note again: In majestic INDIA (me heart is forever there; i.e., in GOA beach, Cochin (where manymany Yadullah's/Jews are preserved; THANK YO GANDHi/india & Co and Madras et al; THAT
WE used to watch the Snake (COBRA kings & Queens) handler's release a MONGOOSE against them Snakes. So think of UNITED STATE of AMERICA and INDIA as Islams great Mongoose! Note. Even The Dynasty's Of Aegypt reffered to CANAANITEs/HYKSOS PALi's now as "LOW LiFES FRom LOW Lands"; Even ex-pagan tirned 1st Circumcised (BRANDED) Rabbi, Mr. Moses said, "Ishmaelians Will be WILD, Violent...."

Brother A. GANDHi said, "Can you not reach out and share your technological advancement with your neighbors and build a relationship?" iMagine a U.nited S.tates Of LEVANT {Israel + w.Bank(maybe Gaza) + Lebon + Jordan} under a New SECULAR (no Religion) CONStitution for a "U.S.L>"??
Soo; Mr. Arun Ghandi Smells Like a Rose because Ye Noses are Clogged & Ye hath too many Snakes in ye Head! PS: ANY-BODY who believes in their (not i, nor Aruns & Co.)

The author of so many self-righteous screeds has no standing to speak in this manner. You yourself are a bigot and a liar and should quit polluting the public discourse with shallow and hypocritical nonsense.

This Arun Gandhi seems to be a total idiot. Islam and terror is clearly linked. At heart is a dumb book that makes no sense, waxing eloquent on one page that there is no compulsion in region and on the next page, calling upon the faithful to wage jihad against infidels.
If I were to write contradictory office memos say on personnel policies (not life and death), I would be fired from my job! Write clearly man! Don't end up confusing people or sending dangerous messages to your faithful who hang on every word of yours as those from God and then expect that the confusion and the distortions would not have a negative impact on the world. And this is God? It's laughable. Even God has to make sense. No, I have not given Him a blank check to say whatever He wants. So stop memorizing and start to question and to think for yourself!

You wrote, "For almost ten years it has been dinned into the minds of the citizens of the world that we are under attack by 'terrorists' who are motivated by Islamic teachings."
So are you saying that at least some of the "terrorist's acts" done in the past ten years were done by "liars" and that when they said that they were "motivated by Islamic teachings" that they were lying?
You then wrote, " It is well known by now that linking Islam and terrorism was concocted by those who were eager to go to war."
Was it those that "were eager to go to war" or some of the "terrorists" that spoke of the "linkage" between "Islam and terrorism", some people's "jihad" is most people's "terrorism".
You then wrote, "The question is whether or not President Obama is right in passing an order not to call the Al Qaida and the Taliban as 'terrorists' and not to link them to Islam."
"Passing an order" does not change reality.
You then wrote, "I believe if President Obama seriously wishes to change the perceptions of the people and correct the mistake that has been perpetuated over a decade then let him set up an impartial commission to examine the Islamic scriptures and debunk the theory that Islam is a religion that preaches violence."
Would you rather it be that the perception be "changed" to world domination?
Pretending that some in Islam do not preach violence does not in any way change the reality that some most definitely do.
By the way, the True, Living, Triune, Triumphant God looks at the person, not the "label".
Take care, be ready.
Sincerely, Thomas Paul Moses Baum.

Well, now, Mr. Gandhi, following your racist 2008 diatribe at OnFaith, which resulted in your being fired by the university in which you were employed, we were informed by Sally Quinn that you would report back to us with what you had learned.
Well, Mr. Gandhi, it has been two-and-one-half years, and we are still awaiting word.
What have you learned following the outrage at your 2008 racist screed?

Brother Gandhi; Nomostae:
There's ISLAMiPhobia
There's WHiTEmonphobia
There's BLACKmonphobia AND
There are many phobia's.
But HISTORY is our JURY (Judge & Witness).
i.e., ex-Prez & Brother G.W. [Nepotist] Bush's was wrong about "Islam being a Peacefull Religion" [Similar said]. i.e., See Iraq et al today's News. and Ironically
Prez & Brother B. H. Obama is also wrong when telling US a Big Lie as in, "unlink Islam and terror.." [Similarly said].
As a Matter of Fact: INDIA better watch-out that India does'nt get broken-up, as a Whole. via the "M A O i S T" threat there. They (which is AL TAQIYAH, Islami Backed) or Maoists are bent on taking over INDIA et al by 2049.?? Islami ELDERS, not only terrorists is Lovin This threat, aye?
How can SAUDI ARABous's finance MOSQUEs in All U.S. 50 States; Especially in NYC (near World Trade Center; which Mr. Obama never stood on that rubble/debri/dead-americans) Yet as a HINDI/i or a YADDDULLA (Jew) or a APOPCALYPTARiAN or a XRSTO et al, aka KAFiR's (none Islami's) that
YE, WE i, Can't even Openly Build such there & Pray FREELY & Fearlessly in Islami SAUDI or islami GCC Nations & Similar etc.. REMEMBER: It was Mostly-SAUDi's that is/are called (openly or silently; here or there) the "MAGNIFICANT 19"! and afew Aegyptians.
Death to CASTE (System)! Death to THEOCRACY! Death to MONARCHY! Death to SLAVERY! Death to APARTHIEID! Death to HYPOCRACY?
NO President today; wether His Dad is Islamic or His Mom is Atheist, can tell US; to look the Other way around; or DENY to selves & Others that IT's NOT What it (i.e., the state of current ECONOMY) Seems?
Lets Pretend that the Financial Tsunami Never Happened (Only a Dream). Let's Pretend that America Does'nt have a Unemployment Tsunami; Let's Pretend that the Gulf Of Mexico is Not Dying; Lets Pretend That the mass-Eviction Mortgage Tsunami Cris's (Not Xrist) Did'nt Happen; on on on & on..

"It is well known by now that linking Islam and terrorism was concocted by those who were eager to go to war."
Yes, the Islamic terrorists were eager to go to war with us. So they made sure we understood the linkage between Islam and terrorism. Osama thought that if we attacked the Islamic terrorists, that the non-terrorist Muslims would feel attacked and attack us in turn.
So far his strategy isn't really working out so well. I don't feel bad for him though, he's kind of an ass in my book.
