You made a claim about the Palestinians
Ooops, I think we found the culprit! I was not considering just Palestinians in my statements. There's where we missed each other.

As far as the Palestinians, I don't see their issue as religiously motivated, rather I see it as religiously reinforced. Sort of like saying a prayer before hitting the football field.. It always amazed me how both sides will pray for victory! Even funnier (in a dark way) is when folks proclaim that "God is on our side." Very conceited.. I could see striving to be on God's side, but to be so presumptious..

I was talking about Muslims in general. I am no enemy of yours, quite the contrary, I belong to the nation which first answered your invoking the 5th article of NATO and even was (maybe still is) flying NATO missions over US soil to protect you.

Cheers.
