All my prays are for The One.

Salam.

Does it matter? I mean, muslims are just citizens. Our religious condition shouldn’t keep us apart of the rest of our communities. If there are more peacemakers around, alhamdulillah! 

I hang around with muslims that don’t understand and never will my pro-animal activism and with non muslims that don’t understand my spiritual activism. And the three togheter join some worthy causes :) Alhamdulillah, always!

I don’t care for Palestine.  I’m sick of their lack of direction, unwillingness to disavow themselves of terrorism and their perversion of Islam.

I’m sorry, but as a Muslim, I’m concerned for my "tribe" which is Iran-Afghanistan.  There is promise in those two nations.  I’m sorry, but I think boycotting Israeli academia is stupid.

Israeli academia informed me that Hamas was originally formed by Israel to undermine Fatah (the nationalist faction).

Many Arabs don’t even like Palestinians.  Racism towards Palestinians is commonplace in the Gulf Arab states, but the Palestinians become a convenient distraction from other issues in the Arab world.

Hello Small Blue Thing,
You are right, it doesn’t matter. I was just wondering whether the boycott Israel vote was an example of successful political activism on the part of Muslims, or not.

I don’t care for the Israeli government. I’m sick of their lack of direction, unwillingness to disavow themselves of racist occupation and their perversion of Judaism. =)
Arab racism against Palestinians is no better, by the way. But other Arab countries are not building walls to separate Palestinian farmers from their land.

Palestinians have been used as pawns for anti-Semiticism in contemporary Islam.

Most Muslims don’t even know a Jew, but far too many have formed a negative opinion of any Jew because of the actions of a nation-state dubbed the "Jewish homeland."

Nationalism is a dangerous legacy of the nineteenth century.  Nationalism has led to many issues, including the Muslim world where most "Islamic Republics" are European creations with borders that are artificial (like the Afghan-Pakistani border) which even the Taliban refused to relinquish Afghan claims to Pushtunistan.  Pushtunistan was never historically part of India, India ends at the Punjab, Kashmir, and the Sindh.  Baluchistan and Pushtunistan are culturally Central Asian and Persianized, not Desi.

As an Afghan, I adhere to a "greater Afghanistan" dream and form of ethnic chauvinism and nationalism.  Such sentiments are threatening to Pakistani Punjabis, who live with the realization that Bengali independence spelled the death of the "enlightened Islamic Indian state."

Islam could not unify Muslims, tribalism and ethnic chauvinism are stronger forces in the Muslim world than an allegiance to Islam.

Fatah is corrupt but Hamas has made allies with Moscow, the same Russian regime guilty of crimes against Chechnya.  Islamism is inconsistent and Hamas may have been voted in, however, elections do not signify democracy, because if Fatah was to win the next round of elections, would Hamas acquiesce and form a government with Fatah peacefully?

I think not!

It takes two to tangle, the Palestinians had some promising moments of COMPROMISE, and they missed them.

Muslims focus too much on Palestine, call me a skeptic, but a free Kurdistan will emerge and Turkey will to go war over it than a free Palestine.
