Friedman commenting on Ariel Sharon's response to Jewish extremists who are fighting to remain in Gaza. Sharon doesn't mince words.
"Mr. Sharon described the Jewish settler youths who wrote "Muhammad Is a Pig" as "extremist gangs who are trying to terrorize Israeli society and tear it to pieces through violence against Jews and Arabs, and [through] offending Muslims and violating their symbols by thuggery and disobedience."
