To this I would ad that the Mufti al-Husseini had caused considerable grief for Arabs as well:

With the collapse of Nazi Germany in 1945, the Mufti moved to Egypt where he was received as a national hero. After the war al-Husseini was indicted by Yugoslavia for war crimes, but escaped prosecution. The Mufti was never tried because the Allies were afraid of the storm in the Arab world if the hero of Arab nationalism was treated as a war criminal.
From Egypt al-Husseini was among the sponsors of the 1948 war against the new State of Israel. Spurned by the Jordanian monarch, who gave the position of Grand Mufti of Jerusalem to someone else, Haj Amin al-Husseini arranged King Abdullah's assassination in 1951, while still living in exile in Egypt. King Tallal followed Abdullah as king of Jordan, and he refused to give permission to Amin al-Husseini to come into Jordanian Jerusalem. After one year, King Tallal was declared incompetent; the new King Hussein also refused to give al-Husseini permission to enter Jerusalem. King Hussein recognized that the former Grand Mufti would only stir up trouble and was a danger to peace in the region.

That explains why the attack hospitals and burn down girls schools. Not to mention that it is a lot better for one's health than attacking U.S. Troops.

Much of the hostility is based on irrational myths about Judaism that are often accepted without question.KINDA sounds like the myriad of conspiracy theories surrounding JFK's assassination ...

We need an author to tell us this? 9/11 told us all we needed to know about the depth of hatred in the Muslim world.
