Do We Owe American Indians Anything?

Do we owe American Indians anything for taking their land?

Do we owe them money?

Do we owe them land?

Do we owe them education?

Should they live in their traditional ways, or should they integrate into the rest of society?


Thanks! Stacie Carlson

James' question on poverty. Why does it exist?

Should there be poverty in the United States in 2006? Why does poverty exist in the U.S.? What should be done about this problem? Do you know how many people in this country live below the poverty line? If not, what would your guess be? Is poverty a problem that needs to be urgently addressed in this country? Why or why not?

Muslims and Christians

Why do Muslims and Christians have a conflict over religion? Are Christianity and Islam so different? I don't expect many people to know much about the Islamic religion or about Muslim people in general, but please share your views, even if they're based on limited knowledge. If you are a Christian, what are your views on Islam and on Muslims? If you know something about Islam, or if you know any Muslims, in your view, what is their opinion of Christianity. Why do you think people of these two faiths have had problems over the years?

If you have time, please read a little on Islam before you response. Here's a site that might be helpful.
