			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With any kind of abuse on either an adult or mid-range child, they develop an understanding of what is happening to them. Most victims of abuse will blame themselves but very rarely will they blame the abuser or often even realise that what&#8217;s happening is wrong.</p>
<p>When it is a very young child, or an animal, they cannot develop that bad understanding, which is why <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6948738.stm">Hamas TV&#8217;s attempts to educate young children about Animal abuse</a>, by having a man dressed as a bee abuse animals for a TV show, is both sick and stupid.</p>
<p>It wasn&#8217;t long ago that Hamas TV showed a Mickey Mouse character denouncing Israel and the U.S., for them to actively go out and abuse animals for the sake of a TV show obviously lacking in any educational properties whatsoever, is disgusting.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s times like this I wonder if stepping out of the Middle-East entirely, so that they can wipe themselves off the face of the Earth, would be an acceptable route to World Peace.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anyway, I am delighted to see that Tony Blair has decided to take on <a href="http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30100-1272504,00.html?f=rss">this role</a>. He is a decent man, whatever many may think. The UK is currently in a strong financial position to the rest of the world (the UK &#8211; USA exchange rate is testament to that), the UK is a much nicer place to live for many working class to middle class families than it was back in 1997. If Blair can make any progress at all with what is likely to be his first job; To start helping the Palestinian&#8217;s setup their political infrastructure, then it is a very, very good thing, not just because of his actions, but because he may speak on behalf of that region to the rest of the world. That region really does need a voice, but first some there need to realise voices work &#8211; bombs don&#8217;t.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I simply cannot believe how powerful some of the entries in <a href="http://www.sandmonkeyblog.com/">this blog</a> are. It is an extremely educational look at life in the Middle East.</p>
<p>Most of what is said, I do have to agree with, it seems the writer has well balanced views and expresses them with intelligence.</p>
<p>Going from that blog, I found myself at the <a href="http://www.aicongress.org/">American Islamic Congress</a> before clicking a link to <a href="http://eppc.org/programs/islam/publications/programID.36,pubID.1947/pub_detail.asp">this speech transcript</a>.</p>
<p>I think it is very important that people (of every faith) read that speech, but it is a little worrying as this is obviously a Muslim who tells how things really are within a Mosque, that the Mosque leaders wish to give the Muslim children no other avenue but that which Iran wants.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s amusing to me that Iran recently commented that the movie &#8220;300&#8243; was an attack on their history&#8230; Why is it that Iran seem to be wanting to use Islam to do their present day attacking?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You know&#8230; I&#8217;ve been thinking. ;)</p>
<p>Why is everyone in the Middle-east complaining that the U.S. may have gone to war for oil? Having visited quite a few gas stations now during my time in the USA, I have to say that most of the gas stations here seem to be owned by people either with Indian or Middle-eastern ancestry&#8230; I am yet to see a &#8220;white guy&#8221; in a gas station kiosk since June, 2006. I&#8217;m almost certain a lot of the profit from oil ends up in the hands of people who came from where the oil did&#8230;</p>
<p>I know, it&#8217;s just an amusing thought and not meant in a serious way, but it made me chuckle to myself when I thought it up. :)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You have to admit that the Archbishop&#8217;s comments are probably correct, but he is actually saying more than he thinks &#8211; and he is also saying more than most news reporters are realising.</p>
<p><a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6205299.stm">Here is a report</a> on what the Archbishop has had to say. He is basically saying that the Governments invasion of Iraq, standing alongside a mainly Christian country like the United States, is risking the lives of Christians living in the middle east.</p>
<p>May I point out, that in order for Christian&#8217;s to be in danger in the middle east, there has to be someone in the middle east willing to hurt them. So, who would that be, Archbishop?</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not sorry for how I feel at all, I do see Islam as an aggressive and brutal religion. It perhaps wasn&#8217;t planned that way &#8211; but that (along with Christianity) does seem to be how it&#8217;s turned out. What the archbishop said is absolutely true: Christian&#8217;s are at risk in the middle east because of the war in Iraq. But, there are <b>two reasons</b> for that risk, there is the war and there is the Muslim&#8217;s willingness to attack innocent individuals for &#8220;payback&#8221;.</p>
<p>Whoever thought up the idea of worshipping books had the very best of intentions, I am sure, but they didn&#8217;t take into account how stupid human beings are.</p>
