The hatred of jews is promoted in every aspect of Mid-eastern society, television, radio, and schools, and I'm not talking about just colleges & universities. That kind of abject hatred is hammered into the minds of pre-school aged children throughout the mideast. One of the onlyMuslim-dominated nations with a progressive attitude is Turkey. I do MY research with news agencies from around the world, NOT the NYT or CNN.
While it may be true that EVERY religion has had it's own fanaticism, at this moment in history, the sheer power of radical islam rules the mideast in near-absolution. Who in the arab countries speaks out against it? Where are the loud muslim voices denouncing what radical islam has done? They probably have a death-warrant on their heads, just like Salmon Rushdie.
So, instead of jumping to the defense of the indefensible, try doing your homework. I'm not talking about about peace-loving, law-abiding muslims here.

Why yes, I
have. Have you? Really? Without an agenda? It sure doesnt sound like it.
Seriously, to generalize and say that all Arabs are Nazis reincarnated just reeks of dumbass. Admittedly, there are extremists, but you know--there are extremist Christians too. Ever heard of Waco? Extremists of
any sort are bad news, and by their very nature, make the news more than more middle-line people.
