Actually apologies for the response. In my opinion there are a lot of Arab/Islam apologists posting already here on FR often presenting themselves as unbiased Americans. I suspected you might be one such person based on your standard of English.

I am a Polish-Italian born in Wisconsin cheesehead, so save the evaluation of me BUD. I never knew there were so many intolerant freepers. I politely ask for opinions and insight and I get pompous ##holes trying to come off as intellectuals. Sorry if I didn't use my websters before I posted

I have an asbestos suit you can borrow. It's from my early days here.

Seriously, though. It really is simple, as stated earlier, both sides need to recognize the others right to exist. A great many on both sides want to. However, there are significant numbers on both sides that refuse to recognize the other and resort to violence and/or corrupt politics to attack the other. Innocents get caught in the middle. Then the relatives of innocent victims take sides and the cycle is reborn. What I find amazing is how many on FR can be so one-sided. I find the Muslim apologists to me the most reprehensible, in general. But there is a strong "Israel's s#!t don't stink" crowd that is quite disturbing.
