The Jews are not promoting brain washing the children in military training camps, teaching them how to blow themselves up and cause maximum deaths of non Muslims!
The Jews don't hijack planes, nor kill athletes at the Olympics or blow themselves up in German restaurants. There is not a single Jew that has destroyed a church. There is not a single Jew that protests by killing people.The Jews don't traffic slaves, nor have leaders calling for Jihad and death to all the Infidels.
Perhaps the world's Muslims should consider investing more in standard education and less in blaming the Jews for all their problems.
Regardless of your feelings about the crisis between Israel and the Palestinians and Arab neighbors, even if you believe there is more culpability on Israel 's part, the following two sentences really say it all: 'If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel' -Benjamin Netanyahu

Ahh!
Yeah does'nt one wish they paid more heed to the peaceful voice of reason!
But perhaps humans are bound by nature to be aggressive and soon they will self destruct!!
very interesting post, and the last line befittingly sums it up...
but I don't think humans are naturally aggressive, rather they are highly territorial like most other animals and tend to resort to violence when encroached by other breed... makes sense right.. :)
Aggressiveness is the superset of territorial! Having said that,I stand corrected... there is enough research that points that aggression in humans "though exists on a macro level,it is not universal but rather culturally specific and culturally derived"

@CAT: Would you mind comparing the number of male versus female nobel prize winners? What does that tell us about the female 'race'?
Sadly, single points of data do not tell a complete story, as I hope my above example drove home.
I expected a better choice of text from you.
Regarding "if arabs put down their weapons", they did it -- and had elections. Given the people chose Hamas, which israel did not like, a blockade ensued. And when people realized that they could not import cows if they wanted to, they said f**k it and started launching rockets, a reaction I completely disagree with.
Noone talks about that? I wonder why.
I don't like what Hamas does, but I do not like the actions of Israel either.
And once again, please, for god's sake, do not simplify super-complicated issues by using single points of data. That way propaganda lies :-|.
Animesh u are reading too much in this simple "point of view" (which does not pretend to be an analysis of a convoluted protracted conflict). All the author wishes to convey is that Muslims/arabs/islamic countries should fixate on issues relating to developement,industry,education,health, alleviating poverty et al rather than alienating themselves in self inflicted ghettos ......it would be ample retribution and a slap on the face of islamophobes and their ilk. The Jews did it , why cant the the muslims do it.....they would cease to be the losers!
Since the cease fire in 2005, Hamas has been spending millions in dole to arm themselves.....could have put it to more constructive use!!!
And addressing mode for gender issues are a totally different ball game than those of race /color/religion...though all stem from prejudice and attempts at subjugation.
Who subjugated the Muslims in Muslim nations?
Anonymous.....am sure if you google appropriately, you will find answer to your question.
Women have been subjugated by men -very generally speaking ( thankfully this is changing). Who subjugated Muslims in Muslim lands so that they remain backward in their mentality and general position vis a vis the civilised. progressive world?
The answer to the second question unfortunately is an unpalatable one for the politically correct 'secularists' who believe religion is a personal matter even when we dicuss those who make it public.
1)DO NOT generalize by saying "they". It is not ALL Muslims in "Muslim" lands.
2)The tone of your response reveals that you must be cognizant of the who is responsible and why certain religious and societal bound regressive practices continue to exist.
3)Please refrain from making sweeping statement about "backward in their mentality and general position vis a vis the civilised. progressive world".We have enough evidence that degenerative , supressive mores have existed in the past and still exist in other communities. Ofcourse perhaps not as pervasive.
4)I am a rationalist foremost, any other tags that could be attached to me are of lesser consequence. There is no denying that reformation/reinterpretation of certain issues in Islam is sorely required.That motivation has to come from WITHIN the muslim community from their elite and as well as their masses. Verbal aggression by "outsiders" only fuels anxieties of persecution and pushes them further into their ghettos of "comfort" and status quo.
SO, while religion sure is and should be a personal matter and while we do discuss those who use it in the public domain,the point is OUR approach to discussing them is INCORRECT and should be directed more towards motivating changes rather than putting them on the defensive or the offensive.
Even when they launch offensives? I am sorry, but are you sure you see that as rational?

????
And how would "you" want to react to "their offensives"?
The quoted statement only conveys that " they should attempt getting out of the persecution mode(self inflicted ghettos) and concentrate on developmental activity " and DOES NOT amount to labelling them ALL as backward in mentality et al
'Self inflicted' was exactly what I was getting at.
I'd react 'defensively'. But then, that is offensive too, to those who are easily offended. More egg shells to walk on.

Hmm. Doesn't quite go with the tone or content of the blog now, especially the Benjamin bit. Definitely on the aggressive border of assertive.
Yup, one has digressed from the original intent of the post thanks to your "who subjugated the muslims in muslim countries"
You have no one to hold responsible but yourself!! :-)
Blame? But I agree with your blog...the tone and contents!!!
I was reading the it again and notice how it lists things the Jews don't do as against things that Muslims do...like blowing up planes, etc. Very subtle. :))))
"et al rather than alienating themselves in self inflicted ghettos "
Self Inflicted ...came BEFORE my question of subjugation. I am merely agreeing with you...unless you see an argument there somewhere. I don't.
Anonymous,
I thought that the tone of the post was admonishingly motivational. And what I wished to convey through my subsequent comments is that any critique of the community should reflect that particular grain/pitch.
If as you pointed out, you were attempting to echo the very same sentiments,fantastic! Perhaps I misunderstood. :-)
