So you are saying that the killing of this unarmed woman and the wounding of another is no problem or condoned by the main religion of the Arabs?

Its a problem for you. Its a problem for me. But it isn't a problem for those who read as the literal word of Allah that its ok to lie to infidels, to subjugate infidels, and "to smite them on the neck wherever you find them."

Palestine, to judge by news shots, is a real snakepit of hate. Sure, there are good people everywhere, but when the percentage of homicidal jerks gets above some critical number, life becomes impossible. I like to think that for a reasonably functioning society, that number is below 1%. Certainly if it gets close to 10%, and if there is 70% support for that 10% (as some polls indicate), there is no coexistence or possible reasoned compromise solution.

Okay we are on the same page! You didn't have your sarcasm flag out on your reply to me. We need to get John Robinson to come with a sarcasm flag so people know that is our intent when we make a reply or post! John, can you help us?

This part of your last reply is so critical to living in the world that we live in: "When the percentage of homicidal jerks gets above some critical number, life becomes impossible. I like to think that for a reasonably functioning society, that number is below 1%. Certainly if it gets close to 10%, and if there is 70% support for that 10% (as some polls indicate), there is no coexistence or possible reasoned compromise solution."

Your stats apply to the middle east countries and to PA in particuliar!

They, also, apply here. When the ACLU makes child predators and other vermin a protected species, and the libs and media do a lock step, we end up with a very bad situation!

We did not lock our doors until about 10 years ago. Our 30 something sons were safe on the streets with a little street smarts. Then the ACLUers made the perverted the protected in our society.

Finally in California, we came up with the three strikes prop. to lock up the bad people. It has been very successful. Recently, the PCers have most of society convinced that every illegal alien is a great citizen. Yet in that group is a fairly high % of professional criminals and perverts. They need to be locked up to protect society with them.

Back to the middle east. 30 years ago we had friends who had worked in the Middle East. They told us that the mothers, fathers, teachers and mullahs were raising the young as soon as they could walk and talk to hate and want to kill Americans and Israelis!

Is it possible to reverse these decades of programmed hatred?
