you said to me: "and, as one of the many muslims who travel around 
"for" palestinian causes". It might not have been an insult, but it was 
certainly a personal comment.

as I said, you have no idea what you are talking about. You live in a 
different country (on a different continent even) from me; what do you 
know about "almost all of" my talks? what I post to mailing lists? what 
you find of me on the web? well, its not my fault if what is written about 
what I say focuses on particular issues only. I gave you a few 
examples of issues I have (and do) speak about. I guess the fact that I 
tell you I do this is not good enough for you.

What groups? the groups I mentioned? that I belong to? please, don't 
flaunt your ignorance in our faces. Only one of those groups that I 
mentioned has palestine as its main focus, and that is clear from its 
name: "Palestine Solidarity Committee". Also, did you maybe miss my 
reference to things like the AFP, LPM, AEC, Education Rights 
Project... I could go on, but hey, you will just act like I didn't say it 
anyway.

I was talking about your attack against palestinian solidarity activists; 
not about "the general Muslim public"

So you are saying we don't do that? Cool

errmm... posting to a mailing list? masha allah. be happy. I'm sure all 
those people will be liberated by your posts.

I don't need to look at those links. You were accusing all of us 
involved in palestinian solidarity work. which ones of us, here on this 
list, fall into that category? also, if there are anti-jewish groups that do 
exist - and they DO exist - does that give you the right to use a broad 
brush stroke in accusing all solidarity activists? The need for zionist 
apologia is clouding your faculties, my brother.
