reply to: "The decent people saw the mobs and went inside their homes and shops and closed their doors in disgust. It is time to clean up this region."

You sure are correct!

Every single Arab I have PERSONALLY known, seemed like a very fine person. But then, I only saw Arabs here in the US, I have never traveled abroad.

It is so hard though, to see a FEW people carrying on like that, and to still realize, you are seeing only PART of the picture.

It's like cancer.

The physician photographs the tumor, examines it, discusses it, it is the major part of any examination of the patient,,,

But ONLY the bad part has to be removed, the major part of the patient is just FINE!

I believe that no one there is protesting with what we would call "peaceful means", out of fear.

But on the other hand, I have a "get even, teach them a lesson" mentality myself. But then, I would be no better than the rioters.

And you know what? There is no 72 Virgins waiting for me, I know that! What is waiting for me, is a look back at my life, and what I have done.

That's waiting for them too, they just don't know it yet.

And that's what is waiting for YOU, TOO!!!

Closest I got to Arabia was Turkey. That's where I learned to be generous to foreign tourists who are obviously lost. I don't know why these young rebels are tolerated in Greece, in Albania, in Palestine, in Iraq, in Pakistan, or anyplace else. They need a Don Corleone to show up and clean house.
