Go to any Orthodox Jewish neighborhood and you can get all the extremist quotes you want. Every religion has its 2% of nut-cases. The vast majority of both Jews and Arabs could live together, but its the 2% that sell the newspapers and improve the Nielsens. Jews are at least "People of the Book", unlike a poor Pagan like me. Yet I was always well treated when in Arab countries, a lot better than I was treated in Israel.
Should a quote from a distinguished leader, like say Senator Clinton, be taken as gospel on the mood and thoughts of the American people? Or perhaps we should use Senator Kennedy? You are letting the words and actions of a few blind you to the will of the many.
I am still fairly fluent in Arabic and Farsi, so I read the Arab side of things also. Makes a change from the Israeli propaganda we are bombarded with here.

Sure, Islamfascism is all Israel's fault!

"This is a testimony to the fact that evil beliefs make humans commit unthinkable atrocities. Anwar Shaikh, the renowned anti Islamist admits that during the Partition, when he was young, he was so filled with hate that he went out with a machete and killed two innocent Sikhs, a father and a son and a Hindu. He did not know any of his victims. He killed them because they were the first non-Muslims he saw in the streets. The memory of his crime haunts him to this day. But the mind of a believer is like a mind on drugs. He is completely dehumanized."
