Great song, great group.
I saw this video tonight. It has some very sad photos - such as you'd see in time magazine only this time it is Arab Muslims, other Muslims being treated horrificly. We talk about the North Koreans that are suffering. The Jews that are suffering. The Christians that are suffering. But we usually don't discuss the Muslim suffering because we do not understand it. I will post other articles if you do not wish to see the video but as I said some photos may be too much for you and so you can opt for the articles instead. This what is called Apartheid although I do not know if I am spelling that correctly. The video will cover suffering Muslims from each individual country. It is a very moving video presentation.
Where is the REAL Apartheid in the Middle East? - YouTube
You will learn in due time, Ropey that I do not understand some sarcasm / or what ya'll call satire. It is a factory defect problem. I was born that way. I do not get some jokes either. It is just how it is. No problem. I appreciate you're letting me know..
means sarcasm for me. 
I wish there could be a peaceful resolution too, Ropey. I also feel a great compassion for these girls who want an education, the women who are worried for the safety of their children - Syria is a heap of rubbel from the photos, so many people suffering and these fat cats sitting in the top echelons of office are off to wine tasting events! It makes my blood boil! What is wrong with people? What is wrong with our State Department? Our Media? They are a bunch of cowards! That is what they are!
The Jews have gone to the Temple Mount but there has been much protesting over them going there. Not to go off topic but the word Apartheid. I heard that word years ago concerning Apartheid in Africa. I thought that was in reference to the British presence - am I mistaken? Do you know the history of that, Ropey? Maybe I'm confused. The British brought colonialism to India. Right? Why would it be called Apartheid on continent of Africa?
So how do we help those girls, Aris? Any suggestions? Write letters? Send letters to the organizations that are funded by Americans? Write Congressman, Senators in the US? Who?

I'm sorry, what planet did you say you're from? It's in your post's title and you have no idea what apartheid is, no idea of it's history in South Africa. I'm afraid to ask, have you ever heard of Nelson Mandela?
Honestly I'm against all forms of voting registration limitations. But in your case I might make an exception, a citizen with such an abyssmal ignorance of recent history is a danger to the nation. How can you possibly claim that any judgement you make is informed when your pool of knowledge is so ridiculously shallow. I admire your good intentions, but you know, or maybe you don't, they say the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
You mentioned the British Empire. Hundreds of years of imperialism in the Middle East is a good place to start studying if you ever want to understand what is going on there. Until you have the most rudimentary historical knowledge of the region my thought is that any opinions you have about solutions to regional problems are probably worthless.
I will certainly have a look at imperial rule in the middle east. Thanks for the helpful suggestion. The rest of it? It's forgotten. Clean slate for you. Have a nice day. - Jeri
[MENTION=19170]Coyote[/MENTION]Great song, great group.
That is the beginning of Zionism.
Psalms 137
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land?
Zionism is not a new political movement as some might have you believe, it is the desire to return *home*. The Jewish people had been exiled to Babylon and this poem reflects their pain.

I never gave "Zionism" as a movement much thought until coming here. It seems though to have added more meanings through the years, particularly after the formation of Israel making it hard for people to agree on what it is. If I understand it correctly - in it's first and purest sense, it is as you say, the desire to return home from exile.
All people deserve a homeland, and to be safe, at liberty and to be free from persecution. Unfortunately - in far too many places around the world that is not the case
I've long loved By the Rivers of Babylon - it evokes a longing and a long wandering. Music speaks where words fail

Absolutely not. I believe I know what apartheid is I was just wondering if the Muslims had done what is viewed in the video to the people on continent of Africa - of their own accord or was behind it - which govt - what people- etc. Like today the genocide you see in Darfur is financed by globalists who are paying off their govts. The Sudanese govt was paid by them and in turn the govt paid the Janjaweed militia to slaughter and drive the rest into camps. They are after the oil and natural minerals found there.
I've seen documentaries on the brutality of the Russian soldiers there raping women, killing them off camera and the next day the young guy with the camera said, oh that woman last night. She died of aids today. In other words, I cannot tell you this but they just killed her. These guys are down there on business for Putin but these are the things they get away with. Another story completely.
In other words, how far back does this abuse go on the continent of Africa. I know there were slavers in the subsaharan region that practiced castration for 600 yrs resulting in an entirely different looking race of people - according to tribes in that region..the black men were castrated so their arab slavers would know they were the only males having access to the women. Through this process - and the span of 600 yrs the scientists are guessing approximately 300 million black people are missing off the subsaharan region today. That would be the population of the USA, Smedley. So national geo did a report on it and it was pulled after they were bought out years ago. You can find that report in Secrets of the Koran by Don Richardson. Buy the book.
As to history? I didn't get the education, Smedley, that you did. But from what I can see of your writings I'd say I'm more informed than you are so until you catch up to speed here let's leave out the insults. I requested people be respectful from the OP and message following it. You obviously "missed the memo"... point being if we cannot counter the message lets not attack the messenger or those who comment on it.
