"The rise of Islam began. Out of the desert came a flame which would not be extinguished - a democratic army fighting as a unit and prepared to die without wincing. Mohammed had invited the Jews and Christians to join him; for he was not building a new religion. He was calling all who believed in one God to join in a single faith. If the Jews and Christians had accepted his invitation Islam would have conquered the world. They didn't. They would not even accept Mohammed's innovation of humane warfare."

When the armies of the prophet entered Jerusalem not a single person was killed because of his faith. When the crusaders entered the city, centuries later, not a Moslem man, woman, or child was spared. But the Christians did accept one Moslem idea - the place of learning, the university."

The imperialist countries have been exploiting the fact that the Somalis can't defend themselves by
dumping their toxic wastes off their shores.

I prefer my "pathetic knowledge" over your imagined and self-complacent pseudo-knowledge.

I know it hurts those used to ignoring the hard truths about themselves, but here goes again: Muslims can't govern people or countries. Give me more than 3 real existing examples of functioning Muslimstates that do not have major conflicts.

That was relatively easy and cost you very little - IF ANYTHING AT ALL.

After all, all your state-to-state foreign-aid deals with African countries repose on agreements whereby China gains access to valuable resources, and they give China the right to pay for these development programmes with proceeds accrued from the sales of the resources you take out of African soil. In point of fact, your foreign-aid programmes finance Chinese businesses in a big way, with a modest trickling-down effect to Africa.

Better my "pathetic" knowledge than your nonexistent one that's compounded by hatred and complacency.

I say it once again: Muslims cannot run a modern state and economy. Give me three examples that can!

Actually you should be more accurate.... not one muslim, jew, or even christian was spared..... of which Jerusalem had communities of each.

The crusaders killed everyone because they were little more than marauders, but I think this works counter to what you were actually trying to do.

They are pirates because they have hijacked CHINESE crews on more than one occasion, and held them for ransom.

"  Those west country have't done anything good to the Africa.

After i saw this topic ,i recall that our gorvement's delect all loans we loan to Africa. Anyhow , we save some fo them.

  What have western capitalist have done to Africa . The IMF loan to Africa ,and promise many good thing .But when those africa have the money to return , the IMF raise interest rates to high degree ,and so their resources has been  exploited . This is the ugly behave they done .

  So their month said:"we live in one world ,we must help the third world country ! " But the behind this beautiful words ,they just want exploited  the fortune as much as possible.

  In fact ,the even exploited their our nation , but more secretly . Interesting , their nation didn't know ~!  "

The development aid for Somalia from Western countries should maybe include bigger fishing net for the Somali "fisher men", in order to catch bigger ships.

It is a good export business "fish and ships".

A lot of killing was going on all over the world at this time and since then as well including China, history is filled with violent events of people exploiting even good meaning scripture towards an evil result.

This doesn''t mean all Christians are evil and massacre people- please exercise a little common sense and consider a moment what kind of prejudice nonsense you speak ----and by the way what does this have to do with the situation in Somalia???

I believe it is possible in an abstract way to link Foreign companies oil spills with the piracy issue.

Obviously there is anarchy in Somalia at the moment and maybe an international solution maybe found to solve the piracy issue at it's root---which a destabilized Somalia run by warlords inflicting untold suffering onto the Somalian general population ---which is compounded by oil spills off their coast.

This is not a Muslim vs Christian situation.

You need to address this problem at the source, the international community I believe could help a lot of people by adding stability to the region by forming a progressive government that would help the Somalian people.

This could set a great precedent and really empower the united nations to help people who are obviously in need of help.

You are one of those despicable simpletons who never have had to do anything for any community or country - foreign or your own - while you are so big with your simplistic opinions.

I for one have probably done more for Africans and Asians than any Chinese business with African business links.

Now go back to class and repeat the lessons of the last two years that you obviously haven't internalised yet.

I think you should look back at the post and re-read it, you may see that I was responding to the person who was doing what you accuse me of.

Common sense or the appearence of is a valuable commodity...... its value remains constant while silent, but can vary wildly when one opens their mouth.
