A Hezbollah Theme Park? The celebration of death and destruction instead of the joy of life? Why am I surprised -- and yet, not surprised? The history of Islam is one of war, despite claims of "peace." They were kicked out of Spain in 1492 (along with the Jews) but Queen Isabella had absolute power, and didn't care about "political correctness." Today, because people are afraid to seem to be condemning a "religion" they avoid stating the truth, which is that Islam is not merely a religion -- it is also a political movement, inasmuch as Islamic religious tracts state:
"we see no separation between the secular and the religious." Their "religion," as practiced by its fundamentalists, is a vast political movement whose ultimate aim is the destruction of all other religions, to be replaced with Islam and the implementation of sharia law.

If anyone in America created a "fun park" to celebrate Hiroshima, or the Germans created a place to celebrate the Holocaust, it would be condemned, as was stated above. (There is a difference between their "theme park" and making a theme park about Jesus' life -- the Holy Land park does not celebrate death, only honors Jesus' life and depicts the way he died -- but doesn't make his death a cause for celebration.)

It has taken a millennium for Christianity to stop trying to convert others by force -- and now most Christians, the world over, live in harmony with their Jewish neighbors. The Christians and Jews also live in harmony, largely, with Hindus and Buddhists. Only the Muslims are waging a war of violence against the Christians in Africa and the Middle East, and against the Jews in Israel, and the Buddhists (whose "world cultural heritage" statues they destroyed a decade or so ago), and against the Hindus, in India.

Islam is the youngest of the great religions on Earth, and, like a baby, is squalling and acting like a terror -- or a terrorist. When will the terrorist groups -- which represent the worst of Islam, not the most honorable aspects of Muslims -- grow up, and let the rest of the world live in peace?
Most of the world has accepted the idea of democracy, of freedom of religion, and equal rights, and that we are free to choose our own religion and our own way of understanding God. (Most moderate and liberal Muslims all understand this -- when a poll was taken recently of Arabs in Israel, they prefered to live under the freedom of Israel's democracy, rather than under the despots that run the Palestinian Authority and Hamas.) When fundamentalist Muslims drop their war against those whom they view as "infidels," the world will finally be at peace.
