What is the difference? Innocent people are killed in both cases. Both kinds of attacks are done for political purposes. Do you feel that Jewish lives are worth less for some reason? Israel and Palestine can and should exist side by side - yet Israelis and Palestinians continue to fight and kill each other. That is not admirable at all. As far as I have seen, the Torah and Quran do not instruct Jews and Muslims to engage in murder.

Most religious texts talk about how people should respect the environment and animals that the god(s) put here on earth - yet every day people abuse nature and animals. I care very much for environmental issues yet I don't admire environmental terrorists who have killed people to protect animals and nature. I'm smart enough to realise that violence only turns people away from the cause. Peaceful protests and political actions are the only ways to reach the goals.

If you are educated in Islam or even know what Islam means, you will get my point.

So are you going to condem the group which just murdered a Christian peacekeeper in Iraq after holding him hostage for months, then tortuing him before shooting him in the head and dumping his body by the side of the road? His only crime was to be in the country, siding with the Iraqi people and helping them to find peace in their country! Did he deserve to die? And what about the other 3 hostages that were held along with him? Do they deserve the same fate? When all they want to do is help the Iraqi people, or are they being punished just because they are Western Christians?

What about the other 54 foreigners who've so far been kidnapped and killed in Iraq? What about the thousands of Iraqi's kidnapped and murdered by there own people in the name of 'their religion'?

Sorry but the people committing these atrocities are the ones you should be mad at, bringing the name of Islam and Muslims into desrepute and causing headlines such as the above.

A recent survey in the US now shows that 43% associate Islam with violence, terrorism, suicide bombings and murder - I wonder why?

The Jews try to make a homeland where they can live together and protect themselves - and they were originally from the area - it isn't like they randomly chose a place to stake a flag and plant their home. Why can't anyone understand that they want to survive, just like any other group of people. I'm not justifying Israel's killing of innocent Palestinians and other bad policies, but I do feel they have a right to a homeland.

Both people are from the area and were displacing each other over hundreds of years - each has claim to the area.

Israelis and Palestinians need to learn to live in peace together.
