Very good question...people don't realize Islam is the religion of many of the terrorists over there. Islam is supposed to be a peaceful religion, but right now they say they are in a Jihad (holy war), in which case I guess it's basically every man for himself. I know, lots of the terrorists don't claim a religion, but just as many cite Jihad as an excuse. FYI: there won't be any world peace until the end times.

Nope, because there will never be peace in the middle east.

what's going on in the Middle East can be boiled down to two words.....culture clash. Middle Eastern theocracy vs Western democracy. It's like mixing oil and water\nand quite frankly the confrontation is long overdue. 9/11 finally brought the long standing turmoil to flash point and I must say that I comment President Bush for meeting it head up and taking care of business as quickly as he did....to a Middle Eastern zealot, hesitation or an effort to compromise (Gore would have done both) only serves to confirm their suspicions of weakness....AND THAT'S WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE MIDDLE EAST!~

Egypt is a transitional country. There are elements of the west & Islam. Big time clash-zone.

Some people in the US and Europe are influenced by these people. This shouldn't happen. Islam is not always good. The people who believe in it try to exaggerate over some issues. I think they need to know that sometimes what they do and say make no sense at all.

well i am not an arabian girl but my great-great-great grandma was. anyways i am a muslim and for me the only way to resolve it is through unity. the people of the middle east have to unite cos the more they fight each other the better chances for other nations to fire up the dispute. you know it is common sense. US and other nations who are at war there are making it worse only because the middle eastern people could not control themselves. if they really want to fight, it is the israelis and US armies that they have to worry about. it is their nation, i mean middle eastern people and middle eastern land. really it is up to them to solve it. and for the rest of the world it is definitely not worth it to go there and worsen the dispute. stay united and tolerate each other for your nation and for the next generation. i hope i will be able to see the end of this problem cos i feel sad to see innocence die and hatred prevail.

Well, it's really not "Arabs" that are causing any "situation" now. Some people assume the terrorists who were responsible for the 9-11 attacks, etc. are Muslims, but that too is overly broad. Most Muslims are peaceful, and only a minority are “fundamentalists” who want to destroy the west. We should remember that the country with the largest Muslim population is Indonesia, and the inhabitants of that country are not “Arabs.” Another large Muslim country is Iran, where the population is Persian, not Arab, and they speak Farsi, not Arabic

No, Islam is not ruling the world.  (If it were, there would be a lot less unrest, mosque bombings, corpse burnings, etc).  That is something that the paranoid among the "dumbed-down" US citizenry fear, just because Muslims are out-spoken and are willing to live and die for what they believe, regardless of american threats, sanctions, etc.\n\nThey say it's a "free country".  Plenty of people criticize Islam, without fear.  Just because some fool in another country decides to print an ugly comic negatively depicting Prophet Muhammad does not mean that people can not intelligently (and that is the key word here) criticize the faith.\n\nJust would be nice if, when it is done, the person criticizing would study up on it before spouting emotional half-truths.\n\nLM

because people are ignorant and believe everything they see in the news. ISLAM is not responsible for the terrorists. Islam represents Peace. There are people who call themselves Christian, but still do horrible things like murder people, etc. Every religion has its bad apples, and it should not just be limited to Islam.

I doubt it as Islam is such a peaceful religion as British Muslims tell us all the time.\n\nThe politicians tell us all how we have this amazing multicultural society whilst all the while minorities and majority whites seal themselves into communities exclusively filled with the same kind of people as they are. Thinking insular thoughts and suspecting the other communities until it all erupts in violence sooner or later.

Because \n\n1.  The west is contraception and aborting itself to death.\n2.  The Enlightenment and Liberalism cannot deal with religion and folds when confronted by assertive groups that use the liberal system as a means to further their agenda.\n3.  Western Christianity has in a large part abandoned the Gospel.  Try reading the writings of early Christianity and then look for comparable faith.\n4.  Islam is easy and appeals to desire for power.\n5.  Islam law makes life hellish for the poor who are not Islamic so it is beneficial to convert in countries rules by Islamic law.

Your process is not fully complete...Is it A. West vs Middle East, B. Christian vs Islam or is it C. same old game...greed Industrialized counrties vs those that have a vast quantity of a limited resource?\nI say C and it HAS already started.

The only reason that anyone is interested in peace in the middle east is because of oil. The Iraq-Kuwait war was started because of oil. \nSo to answer your question 95%. If Iraq and Kuwait didn't have oil then no one would give a rat's ass. \nJust because it is about oil doesn't make it a bad thing. If the would's oil production is cut off the reults may be 10 times worse than the war in Iraq.

Three words: RELIGIOUS FUNDAMENTALISM and CAPITALISM.\nSome have responded with answers such as Satan. However, that would imply that the world is getting worse. Historically speaking, it certainly is not. The unification of and cooperation between countries indicates a positive movement of participants in the world economy. This is a recent and continuing phenomenon.\n\nThe current threat to stability is the widespread conflict in the Middle East, in addition to much of Africa's problems. What fosters these problems? RELIGIOUS FUNDAMENTALISM and CAPITALISM.

There would be peace in the middle east and the whole world

World peace will never happen, because everyont thinks different.  All religions and politicians will never be able to agree on anything.  Everybody wants everyone else to belive what they believe and it will never happen.

Islam promotes intolerance, violence, oppression, terror, bloodshed, robbery, rape, murder, and hatred.  Historically Islam has always been spread and maintained by these methods.  Muslims are always talking about all the different kinds of people they hate.  They think they can sail to Heaven on a sea of blood.  \n\nTHAT'S how "the islam is wrong."
