HorseHillary! The Wahabi types hate the west and have done so since the Crusades. That would be about 1000 years before the modern state of Israel. These backwards thinking freaks hate (not just dislike or not happy with) all things Western, Christian., jewish, Buddhist, Hindu or other non Islamic beliefs. Sadly, the situation in Israel is a straw man that the Arab nations perpetuate in order to divert attention from their despotic governments, corrupt rulers and generally lousy living conditions their people find themselves in. Israel serves as a sort of "bread and circus" for the Arab street while keeping the rabble out of the palaces.

I think your assessment is right on target, Cali, and well said.

It certainly surprised me that these jerks have been holding a grudge for the past 1,000 years. I didn't know it until bin Laden came out with that bit about the "Crusaders". The Crusades are ancient history. A lot has happened in the West since then, but in the Islamic countries, the towel-heads have done nothing but grump, seethe, and wallow in their Midieval misery. The West left these guys behind in the Dark Age dust a thousand years ago. So much for what they have to offer.
