stress_in_babel: IT WAS ALREADY CLARIFIED THAT iSRAEL IS THE INVADED COUNTRY, sorry caps guys, forgot to turn them off :)

Now back to a bite of history that i have posted from Wikipedia.com:

"The Land of Israel, known in Hebrew as Eretz Yisrael, has been sacred to the Jewish people since the time of the biblical patriarchs: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Scholars have placed this period in the early 2nd millennium BCE.[23] According to the Torah, the Land of Israel was promised to the Jews, by God, as their homeland,[24][25] and the sites holiest to Judaism are located there. According to the traditional view, around the 11th century BCE, the first of a series of Israelite kingdoms and states established rule over the region; these Israelite kingdoms and states ruled intermittently for the following one thousand years.[26]

Between the time of the Israelite kingdoms and the 7th-century Muslim conquests, the Land of Israel fell under Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian, Greek, Roman, Sassanian, and Byzantine rule.[27] Jewish presence in the region dwindled after the failure of the Bar Kokhba revolt against the Roman Empire in 132 CE and the resultant large-scale expulsion of Jews. In 628/9, the Byzantine Emperor Heraclius conducted a massacre and expulsion of the Jews, at which point the Jewish population probably reached its lowest point. Nevertheless, a continuous Jewish presence in Palestine remained. Although the main Jewish population shifted from the Judea region to the Galilee,[28] the Mishnah and part of the Talmud, among Judaism's most important religious texts, were composed in Israel during this period.[29] The Land of Israel was captured from the Byzantine Empire around 636 CE during the initial Muslim conquests. Control of the region transferred between the Umayyads,[30] Abbasids,[31] and Crusaders over the next six centuries, before falling in the hands of the Mamluk Sultanate, in 1260. In 1516, the Land of Israel became a part of the Ottoman Empire, which ruled the region until the 20th century.[32]"

I must agree that's kinda idiotic to belive that Americans would try convert all Iraq, just as the idea that Sep 11 was a conspiration by the US secret services.

Realsome: I think RP just wants to show that not all that's on youtube is true and used this example, we all know that's not a question of religion but of people, no matter race or belief, there's good and bad in all.

Bush and Christianity, very good joke.

One Baptism Organization cannot be representative of all Christians and this what they are doing they doing in their own name not in name of Catholics, Protestants, Othodox etc etc. So they are converting people in one of Christian Church, Baptist Church. For East Orthodox Church this is unaccaptable.

RED_POPE, this video is so unrealistic, only somebody blind or somebody who really hates muslims and wants to see it true would think diferently. First thing that caught my attention was that all the pictures used were sooooo fake, for example, all the banners that the "muslims" were holding in the pictures, all had the exact type of writing, how strange is that, especially when they seemed to be hand written. This video is clearly such a fake. And it talkes so much about muslims hating jews, but what did the muslims do to the jews, aren't the jews those that should be blamed for the way they occupied palestine and for the suffering that is going on in Ghaza stip until now? And for those that blame muslims for ALL the terorist acts going on in the world, did u see the movie Loose Change? I dare u to see it, it's very interesting. I tend more to believe that 9/11 and all the other terorist acts were strategically planned by secret services of the USA and Israel. It wouldn't be the first time in history that a country wants to start a war by planning false events. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming the american people, just their rulers. And about those extremist muslims, I have noting but bad filthy words for them, if they think devotion to God means killing others and creating chaos.

The fact is that maybe we will never know the "real" truth about what is happening in the world, since the power is not in our hands, it's in the hands of few crazy people, but one thing I know for sure, all religions are peaceful.

Is it Unrealistic or just simply, bluntly truthful?

its all in how you view things...and some have a very skewed view..

ok..off to bed with me since i'm yawning my silly female head off (according to 1976's view of women..you know we can't be bothered with anything of any importance since we don't matter at all...)

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.

do in life, unfortunately.

I don't have any problem with atheists ...they believe in what they believe in and as long as it doesn't interfere with my beliefs, no worries.

I was taught not to tolerate other religions, but respect them. Also that people are all different and come from varying backgrounds and to respect all others. I didn't hear you wrong...I think sometimes there is a bit of a language issue with the written english...and what you might mean and what comes out in text is a bit different...so I always try and look from both directions..

I lived in Sri Lanka for awhile (Negambo) Hinduism, and Buddhism were major while Christianity seemed minor in society. I hate it when they invade tribal beliefs like papua new guinea or in South America (can't remember the tribe) try not to connect American with Christianity, Christianity is losing it's appeal. Not my thang and I was born there.

no one can BUY faith...get serious...the people who convert do so because of the ideals they like, be it Islam or Christianity...and there are hypocrites in every religion..

Missionaries work all over the world..

Do you seriously think it feasible to convert a population such as Iraq? I very much doubt it..

what a bunch of hooey...anyone with half (or less) a brain wouldn't even post this crap...

but in case you are seriously worried zambo..no, American's are NOT trying to convert all of Iraq into Christianity, only the corner in which you live...

I never could understand why people make religion such a big issue. In the end all that matters is who we are and how we treat ourselves and the others around us. Religion has long time been a pretext for hate and war and that I find the most disgusting thing in the history of human kind.

And zambo, don't worry, I don't think they have the smallest change of converting all Iraq to christianity, it's absurd and definitelly not alarming.
