That is exactly the type of statement I see as so dangerous. Anyone who is against you is a dog. A Jew. The extremists make the other side out to be evil and God has called ONE to punish them and the masses BELIEVE. The Islamic extremists that hold this view are to be feared. I do not believe the majority of Muslims feel this way. But they are doing absolutely nothing to stop this tide and then good people become Nazi like. There is not a person on this board who could ever claim that if they lived in Germany in the 1930's that they would not have been swayed, good people swayed. The deafening silence that meet Iran's president when he claimed that Israel should not exist is shocking. This man stepped out on the limb to become a leader of this movement and said it, no one stood against him. He GAINED standing in the Islamic world. People that are clearly terrorists are becoming HERO'S.

If there is anyone that does not find this absolutelty chilling... We can continue to talk about how this sort of unity is brought about, just like people look at the horrible state the Germans were in after WWI and how the population was ripe for this type of behavior. We can continue to talk about how the current US administration exacerbates the situation (I do not believe WE are doing God's work even if GW does)... But it does NOT EXCUSE the behavior and the GLORIFICATION OF THE ACTS. And I am not going to get shot. I can say it, debate it, etc... That is not happening in the Islamic world.

BTW I think everyone should read about the Palestinians plight. Its not just Israel that has shoved them around. Jordan, Syria, etc... did not want to have anything to do with them and actually giving the Palestinians a place to stay. They instead used them. IN FAct some of these countries drove the Palestinians out of areas they lived in. To blame Israel for all the Palestinians problems is a terrible oversimplification.
