It has been my personal experience that friends and relatives who work for the State Dept. and work in the USAID programs consistently come back from islamic lands with an entirely different mindset. It is almost like a “Stockholm Syndrome” type of transformation where their are core feelings of anti-Israeli and pro-Islamic beliefs.

LOL. Why because their experience doesn't comport with your preconceived, uninformed world view? I have lived a total of nine years in three Islamic countries [Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Indonesia] and travelled to many more. I am under no illusions about the threat that militant Islamic fundamentalism poses to our country and Western Civilization, but it is not in our self-interest to demonize and radicalize one billion muslims.

America didn’t radicalize the muslims. The muslims did the radicalizing on their own.....demonizing muslims.....oh my......and muslims do not cheer in the streets when planes are flown into buildings killing Americans.....maybe .....Americans should roll over one more time.....yep, that will work.....in terms of diplomatic speak.....not in the real world....but in the parallel universe.
