My point is that it works both ways, each side has their 2% of nut cases.

Yeah, well, you seem to have changed the point which yesterday was that Israelis want to wipe Muslims off the face of the earth in the same way Muslims do Jews, and the reason Muslims do is because of Israel, and if a country is not friends to Israel it has nothing to fear like 9/11 attacks from Islamofascists.

I repeat, that is nonsense. One example off the top of my head, but there are so many, just look at the riots in France recently. I suppose you think that violence against non-Muslim French and particulary French Jews was in protest to France's support (that is sarcasm) of Israel? Look at the story I posted (that you avoid commenting on) on the Indian Muslim who killed the first non-Muslims he came across. Look in the south of Thailand. Look in the Philippines, in Bali, in Africa! I suppose all those ethnic Chinese that were raped, tortured and lynched in Jakarta in 1998 are Israel's fault! I mean, geez, that is just so ridiculous. This is isn't 2% of Muslim crazies. It's more like 2% that aren't, not that are.

You ought to have a look at http://www.jihadwatch.org/ and learn about the teachings of Islam, and I don't mean just the scriptures like the Koran, but the way it is taught and practiced today.

Neither side seems willing to tolerate the other in their Holy Lands. Your Muslim killing non-Muslims is no different than the self appointed Israeli vigilantes I ran into. Throughout history, religion has been used to incite violence between peoples.

People with little or no education look to their religious leaders for guidance. So when the mullah/rabbi/priest points and says these people are bad/sinners/evil , these uneducated clods feel that God (through his representative) is telling them what they have to do. None of the people in any of the incidents you mentioned were exactly rocket scientists.

Racism is also a factor in several of the incidents you mentioned. Even here in the USA where discrimination is against the law it is very prevalent.

For the religious and racial reasons alone, the Arabs and Jews will never have a lasting peace in the Middle East. Goes back to what I have been saying all along, we need to stay out of this and let them kill each other off. Taking sides only adds us to the target list.
