This is excellent, dlish. Thanks for doing it.
It seems like THE main sticking point in US relations with the Muslim world is Israel, and our (imo blind, heavy-handed, un-nuanced) support of Israel. All we really hear on the news as the "other side of the story" is the Palestinian view, which is predictably victimized and/or aggressive. We occasionally get out-of-context (and often mistranslated) quotes from leaders of various Muslim nations on Israel, but those don't shed much light on the attitude on the street.
Can you give some idea of the broader view of Israel held by people of your faith-and-general-geography?
