The terrorists who recognize themselves as Muslims are not true followers of the religion as Islam condemns the killing of innocents.  Therefore, the term “Islam” should be avoided in the discourse of terrorism and 9/11.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Faux liberal and pro-occupation advocate, New Republic editor Martin Peretz is back at it again. Last fall, he caused a firestorm with his racist comments that “Muslim life is cheap”.  On Monday, he dished out some raw Islamophobia-denial in a gullible column entitled “The Invention of Islamophobia.”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Amina Sharif writes, "The conflict in Israel and Palestine is political, not religious. It is not between Jews and Muslims; it is between the government of Israel and the people of Palestine (who are Muslim and Christian).  

"In reality, many Jews -- even in Israel -- sympathize with the Palestinians and criticize their own government's policies toward Gaza and the West Bank."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In his op-ed Nasatir highlights the amazing efforts by Jews in America and Israel in the humanitarian crisis in Haiti and for this, I truly commend them. But what about the humanitarian crisis in Palestine? Israeli checkpoints violate Palestinians' basic human rights by denying medical vehicles and services. This contrasts sharply with Israel generously building a hospital in Haiti.]]></description>

I am appalled by the attitude of the letter writer who said she wanted to physically assault three Muslim women praying in a Costco, and your response that "hating other people is like taking poison and expecting someone else to die" is right on target.]]></description>
