Israel too, but they don?t have enough ability to undo everything.

I guess after saying all this I must be the biggest racist in the world
now. Well guess what you can be right if so why don?t you prove it to me
that Israel has nothing to do with anything else outside Israel, Israel
has never killed innocent people in the name of God around the globe and
tried to control other races, besides which race is it that would not
accept a prophet who is not from its race. ( more to follow soon :) )

Though these are my thoughts but like always they can be wrong, if I am
wrong prove it to me, give me some evidence, as I am a human being. I am
sorry if I have hurt anyone, I was just being honest about my experience
in life. May God have mercy on us all and fulfil his promise by showing
and giving us the ability to follow and face the truth and stand up and
ask for unbiased justice.

named Ahson Aziz tried his best to take me to some camp in Kashmir, I
personally did not know who this man was, but he made my dad call me to
ask me to come with him to "Kashmir camps" well I did not go, but today
the later events have proved that if I had gone there I would been
sitting in Jail or probably would be called terrorist, this is called
creating terrorist from nothing. That man I think works for "some"
secret service, he was not very happy about me not listening to him. I
personally think that such people should be caught and brought to
justice but they never are one must ask why? Why arent? they caught and
brought to justice?

Many Muslims think that the solution for Kashmir and other places like
that can be sort in the way things are happening now. No you people are
wrong, these places are in place to remove potential variables from
society. You see if those bad guys who control the world today really
wanted peace these things would have b
