Israel is the last place US or the world has a problem with any of her actions and deeds: US or Israel has nothing to do with the terrorism seen in India for example - a nation which has been the most generous to Muslims.

    Making mass murders into martyrs, and the innocent as liable for defending themselves against Islamist doctrines of unconditional Death to You, and those who deflect elsewhere, will not forever stand.

    The world should ask and demand: WHY NO FATWAH 4 OSAME?!
