Must be new way to solve old conflict

Will there ever be peace in this world?

This is in response to the article "All about Arabs for Israel," which states "Muslims must stop terrorism, support Israel and protect the moral fabric and goodness of Arab culture" and live happily ever after.

I would respond by saying, Israel must stop their apartheid regime by isolating the Palestinians, stop treating them like subhumans, and then they will be able to protect their moral fabric and goodness of their culture.

Yes, Nonie, you can be critical of Arab governments and some aspects of Islam, but do not do it at the expense of Islam as a whole and by giving selective examples of violence and hatred as there is plenty to go around.

Rather, look at humanity as a whole and find ways to bring people closer by using compassion, love, tolerance and understand that the world is not black or white. There is a lot of work to be done but are you really serving a purpose by specifically emphasizing one religion, one race and one culture?

There are flaws in this world, but is it really because of the religion entirely, or is it because of their leaders? Are we really spreading peace, freedom and democracy in this world and at what cost?
