Here's an article in the Atlantic written September 1990 concerning the history of Muslim rage. I found it interesting to read the article in light of 911.

19Nothing has changed
by Norm inhaving read some of the posts in the military tribunal thread make me wonder about the perspective of the american population in general.
it seems to be more egocentric then ever.
the understandable outrage and indignation caused by the despicable and horrible acts on 9/11 seem to have caused little or no global perspective.

ENRON & SYSTEMIC COLLAPSE
by You Know ina few days back i made a comment on the collapse of enron on this thread: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?id=16970&site=3.
an excerpt from my post read: "enron is a classic example of the hollow and predatory nature of the so-called new economy, which some imagine to be a new and improved way to make money!
instead of actually producing gas and energy products, enron got into buying and selling futures sales of non-existent gas and electricity.

... Surely we could distribute more than 40,000,000 of Srila Prabhupada's books and magazines a month if we actually made that our main business? I am convinced we can do it... And it will change the world...
Change the world!...I suspect, per capita, Jehovah's Witnesses are second to none when consuming wood pulp, and there’s no independent evidence their corporation having made a significant dent since their inception.
Perhaps the author is referring to the 'world' his or her hierarchy lives in and one day being able to afford as much real estate as well.
I swear, Jehovah God and his other ‘Buddha Buddies’ would be total losers if they didn’t have bank accounts at Chase Manhattan.

Moridin, before you ever find yourself in an unfortunate field of battle remember, it makes little sense to expect to die for ones Constitution.
Demand that vital tools be provided you and learn the required skills that may allow ones foe the opportunity to make their choice of sacrifice for that which does not respect the freedom of others.Flip

Is it a naturally occuring demented sense of humor that makes Jehovah's Witnesses revel in depictions of animal abuse?
Or the grotesque influence of the WTBTS’ children’s book from the 50's and 60's, aptly ‘ripped off’ from Miltons religiously surrealistic flagship title, From Paradise Lost to Paradise Regained?

What...me worry?
by Flip infarkel, well be hearing more about a wonderful inventor named dean kamen this coming monday.
once we've become more familiar with his extraordinary accomplishments, many should be grateful this particular individual didnt spend his youth listening to the wtbts to pursue the moronic behavior of going door to door as a jehovahs witness.. the reason i singled you out farkel is because of the current icon you use, ... his father helped start mad magazine -- kamen is ... alfred e. neuman.. * http://www.infoworld.com/articles/op/xml/99/11/22/991122opmetcalfe.xml.

Free Tibet & Peace In The Middle East
by Celtic inwhat is it about peace that it is such a difficult thing for man to understand?
by your definition, what exactly is peace?
and how might we go about teaching peace, throughout our lives?.

Mark, I'm truly puzzled by your remark.
Possibly, when I speak of...'you', I'm using it in the context of people in general and not specifically you as Mark.
Actually I thought yours was a very good question which got me thinking out loud. I apologize if I offended you by my response that certainly was not my intent.

"...By your definition...", you answered your own question, Celtic.
Individuals, groups, organizations and governments have their own definition of peace. Unfortunately many would not include your life in their vision of peace and for whatever reason believe you feel the same way about them.
