From all the posts you have ever posted here, I don't see where you don't think we are in crisis.
If your friends are reflections of your thinking here, then no I don't have your definition of "reasonable" muslim friends. I have a good number of mulsim friends mostly coworkers who fled their homelands because of the atrocities they felt as injustices from their respective governments. I have an Iranian aunt who came over before the Ayatollah Khomeni decided to take the American embassy workers hostages.
Many countries have odd laws to discourage those that are considered outside of their scope. I don't find Israel to be any different. I can own land in Iceland, but I cannot own farm land. I cannot own a business in Iceland unless I have a citizen as a partner. I cannot own land in the land of my ancestors because I'm not a citizen. I cannot work in the land of my ancestors because I'm not European.
Again, you don't find any correllation to the high price of oil to the finite amounts produced and the increased demand of China and India as industrialized nations that require more oil than decades before? You point to the Jews and Israel as the reason?
