Maya Mystique 2007-12-16 ch 26,	abuseWow. This story is deep. very deep. and just as good.
frickangel 2007-11-12 ch 26,	abuseBefore I gush at how much I loved this story, I need to applaud you wonderful research in writing this piece. I myself am from a country where Islam is the official religion (though I myself am neither Malay nor a Muslim) and I was impressed at the well written Muslim characters in this fic. The one thing I've always emphasised on those I've advised on writing is to do their research since not being laughed at is half the war won in writing a good story. Besides that, I loved how you portrayed the "terrorists" where some are the extremists and some are just trying to hold on to their faith. A lot of my friends are Muslims and I'm pretty sure none of them are thinking about gunning a whole community of people. In fact they're appalled at how some idiots can use the holy name of Islam to kill and hurt the innocent. The other one thing is the 'Salam alekum'; over here we pronounce and write the greeting as 'Assalamualaikum' and the answer would be 'Waalaikumsalam'. I suppose it's just the different Arabic dialects. ;) But still, I love the story and all the canon and original characters. My... aren't I longwinded?

FotoBridget2 2007-06-27 ch 25,	abuseExcellent. Characters were dead on, very credible. Emotional issues were handled delicately and realistically. Writing was great with very few minor flaws. Excellent.

Ischia 2007-06-05 ch 26,	abuseI think this is a great story, really, I love the quotes you used and there was a lott of material to think about. I read this on the day that it had been fourty years ago that the six day war between Isreal and Egypt, Jordan and Syria started, not that I was alive back then or that I have any emotional attachmen to it excapt knowing that there died people in it, people like me who once had been little children or even still were little children and had thought 'one day when I'm all grown up' and that died in six days, or maybe in the aftermath of it. Violence is one thing I know, use even at some times (never at the extremes of killing someone) but never understand why it has to exist. The funny thing is, while reading this I thought about my ninty-and-something year old uncle, or acctualy my fathers uncle, but he's important to me, like a grandpa or so (the closest thing I have to a grandpa, seeing that both my grandpa's died the same year). His name acctually also is Eli, maybe that's why it remembers me of him, he was jewish in the Netherlands during WO2, and well had the 'luck' (lost almost his whole family, his parents, his babybrother, other relitives, so I don't know if you really can talk about luck right?) he once had some kind of military that made him some high rank so he wen't in a war prisoners camp, even learned latin while being there. Well now I'm ranting, but I had a point to make, so let's get to it, last time I saw him, two weeks ago, he told me this: "I hope the Palestinians and Isrealis go make children together and so end this, cause after all this time, it's about time to let hate go and try starting to live and letting live." (well actually he didn't say just that, cause he didn't speek English but Dutch still the translation came close enough I think) I hope they do, pain and dispair gives hate chance, also do ignorance and not knowing. But nobody is a monster and I hope one day all people see that. See each others pain and not ignore it, but understand it, and trying to make the future less painfull, the past is one thing nobody can change, the wounds and memories stay with you forever, visible or not, but the future has not yet taken shape (or at least I don't think so), and every day people are or should be given the chance to say, just like when they were little children: 'One day when I'm all grown up…' But I'm going to stop now, I just wanted to say I loved the story.
fvhardy 2007-06-04 ch 26, anon.	abuseI go away for a couple of weeks and I come back to the finished story! Excellent! rubs hands with glee No more waiting for chapters! I loved this story, I thought it was beautifully writtena dn very sensitively handled. The action was fast paced or else drawn out to the point that I was salivating to know what happened; talk about suspense! And best of all, there were no romantic pairings but it was a fabulous friendship fic...those are the types I love best! Kudos on a wonderful story!
ncis-lady 2007-06-03 ch 26,	abuseJust wanted to tell you how much I'm looking forward to the next stories! You can't imagine how curious I get when I know you'll post a new chapter soon, and I print out the pages so that I can read them at work during the break. ;) So please write more, soon, can't wait!
