And since when has Islam ever shown any sensitivity to any point of view not its own? I have never heard any Arab or Islamic leader personally denounce the groups that commit these acts, or denounce their leaders. I have never heard an Arab or Islamic leader advocate patience or understanding of the Jewish or American point of view. I have never heard any Arab or Islamic leader preach tolerance of other faiths.
I have heard them issue fatwah's (death sentances) against the writer of books they disagree with. I have heard them call for the deaths of jews and Americans. I have heard of them persecuting those of the christian and jewish faiths. And I have heard them whine incessently that they should not be tarred with the same brush when there isn't a one among them with the courage to stand up and accept the responsibility for the hate their religous leaders constantly spew forth.
Kerry is an ignorant bufoon, and idiots like him help to legitimize the use of terrorism by these groups by making these kind of statements.
Appreciative bump.
Outstanding observation and comments! The Arab world view and the tenets of Islam are incompatible with Western Civilizaton and its outlook on the world. The protracted Arab/Palestinian - Israeli conflict is just one example of the inability of the Arabs to accept non-Islamic people.
