Well, Muslims and Arabs don't portray themselves very well in general, now do they? If they didn't constantly behave in such an uncivilized way, then maybe they wouldn't be portrayed that way.

Hey man, haven't you heard? Islam is the official Religion of Peace! And atrocities committed in the name of Christ during the Crusades are more relevant today than any non-peaceful acts perpetrated by contemporary practitioners of the Religion of Peace.

To be honest, Mooselimbs are generally so steeped in the superstitions of the seventh century that they can't help but stereotype themselves. I am getting away from the subject a trifle, but I suspect that radical Islam is a sort of renunciation of the present, and this war is at bottom a struggle over two concepts of time. I've often wished to throw off the yoke of nanoseconds and late Enlightenment rationalism, but of course I would never do such a thing. But wouldn't it be grand at some level to repeal Voltaire? Forgive my digression.
