@room101:

You're back with more lies.

[quote]He’s far too busy sitting astride his great white steed, looking down on all of us fallible mortals and passing judgments. Judgments which have very little correlation with reality.[/quote]

This is really pathetic. A poor attempt at being passive aggressive. Are you that desperate? and is your argument so void of convincing arguments, you have to resort to this? If you don't know what passive aggressive behavior is, look it up.

[quote]And I love the way that he insists that you must quote sources from SW only and then, points you to his own meanderings on the topic.[/quote]

This would be one of your lies.

[quote]Northwest and his ilk insist that Islamic fundamentalism, radicalization and terrorism all stem from the actions of the west. He seems to have a thing for the British.[/quote]

Two lies, in one sentence. You're getting better at this. Previously, you were restricting yourself to one lie per sentence. For instance, your claim that modern day Lebanon's Christians, are persecuted.

[quote]He also points to the machinations of the British vis a vis oil. OPEC celebrated its 50th Anniversary last year which means that oil production, and pricing (and everything else), have been in the hands of the indigenous owners of those oil wells for fifty years. Of course the west has manipulated those owners, both politically and individually. But isn’t that always the case when there are large profits to be had. More so if the resource in question basically affects every walk of life. Therefore, if this manipulation is one of the root causes of terrorism, why don’t we see it in other situations where the west has stuck its oar in. Why only in Muslim countries. [/quote]

You're mixing up different timeframes. I'm sure this is directed at those who think like you, as you all confuse things on regular basis. It does seem though, that you're a denier/inventory of history. Kind of like Sarah Palin, or Brigitte Gabriel

Some links to what actually happened.

While OPEC may be 50 years old, the events in question, are 63 years old, and led to a "manipulated" OPEC. When Ghaddafi was upset that he was powerless, within the OPEC framework, he sent Carlos to attack one of its meetings. When the US and Saudi wanted to bring Iran to its knees, Saudi ran its own production quotas...

Palestine is a Muslim Country? History of Palestine terrorism, in what was Palestine, and today, is Israel, the West Bank and Gazza, started with Jewish organizations. You conveniently forget the other thing that goes with Palestine: it is an occupied country, and parts of it, continue to be colonized by Evangelical-supported, Jewish extremists.

Your conclusion, is very similar to that of the Syrian "Intelligence" officer. They brought him a grasshopper. He cut off his front legs, and clapped. The grasshopper jumped. He cut off his middle legs, and clapped, the grasshopper jumped. He cut off his hind legs, and clapped. The grasshopper did not jump. His conclusion: if you cut off a grasshopper's legs, he will lose his hearing.
