Sub, just think of it as sibling rivalry and it all makes sense And it's true since we are all Children of G-d
Mule, this guy said "Elect me the leader. I will have peace in the Middle East in a month." He told me the story about growing up with Christians and Jews and how every time fighting would break out they would ask each other if the other would ever kill him. They always responded with no. Children seem to have no problem loving one another ... it's a shame what many grow up into. Most of it is due to lack of education and knowledge about the other.

Just ignore the fact that there are millions of them willing to blow themselves up to kill non believers..
Do you not find it revealing that you find it necessary to constantly point out that not all Muslims are bent on destroying Western Civilisation ?

But he doesn't. He just hates the government and wants reform. I read a book quite a while ago (I'm sorry to say I have absolutely no recollection of what it was) that told some personal stories of both Palestinians and Israelis. I found it to be quite depressing. After the horrible suffering and resultant bitterness on both sides, it's hard to imagine a peaceful settlement ever being reached.

The difference is that it's not plastered all over the news that the "Evil Southern Christians" are bent on destroying our country. Americans for the most part are able to differentiate the evil doings of the groups of Southern Christian members who associate with the KKK from the majority of Southern Christians. Unfortunately, most Americans do not differentiate between the majority of Muslims and those Muslim Extremists who should indeed be a concern. Edited because I only partially completed a sentence.
