What disturbs me, is the growing presence around here of people who actually cheer (not reluctantly tolerate) the death of innocent children.
They’re absolutely no better than that disgusting Palestinian woman shown on TV cheering the innocent dead on 9/11.

Very true. There's a disturbing tendency by some, here and in other forums, to see a billion people as somehow subhuman.

There's a disturbing tendency by some, here and in other forums, to see a billion people as somehow subhuman.

About as disturbing as the attitude of those people who hate Jews and Westerners and want them dead. I think any person who teaches his children to grow up to hate Jews and/or infidels is uncivilized and subhuman. (That goes for the Nazis who murdered not only millions of Jews, but anyone who wasn't part of their ideology.) The majority of Palestinians and Muslims today who revere and follow leaders like Arafat, Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden and want to conquer the world and subject it to Sharia Law are barbarians, IMHO. (As were the leaders and followers of the Nazi, Japanese and Soviet Empires no matter what the Holocaust-deniers and pro-communists may tout.) They don't deserve my respect or trust. Nor do I consider them part of humanity since they have little if any regard for civilized behavior.

Sure, I'll teach my son to respect others if they respect him. I'll also teach him to watch his back especially when he is around people whose religion and culture teaches and exhorts him/her to DECEIVE, loot, cheat, rape, enslave or murder those who aren't like them.(I've read the Koran and Hadith...well before 9/11. Same goes for My Life by Adolph Hitler--a best seller in the West Bank and Arab world.)

Until I see a majority of Palestinians and their Muslim and totalitarian (Marxist, National Socialists, etc.) supporters behave like civilized human beings and sincerely condemn the PA-sponsored school textbooks and kiddie TV shows that deny the state of Israel and glorify murdering and getting rid of Dirty Jews, the constant breaking of treaties, murders of Israeli civilians and broken promises of living in peace with Israel, etc. that has become the central theme of Palestinian "resistance" then, maybe, just maybe I won't consider them subhuman and undeserving of living in a civilized society.

The fact is, though, I can understand why they feel that way. A lot of what people see about Islam are the scumbags like Osama, Atta, Hamas, the Iranian Ayatollahs, and Hezbollah. Furthermore, they don't hear of any mullahs or imams CONDEMNING these attacks.

And as a result, they start going into a very understandable "us or them" mentality. Personally, I think that the scumbags like Osama are a minority, but it's a pretty sizable minority, and possibly a well-funded minority - so this could get very ugly.
