When I attended Hebrew School in very Jewish Brooklyn, NY a generation ago, and Arabs were murdering Jews in Israel, and highjacking aircraft, etc., my teacher, Mr. Cohen admonished a boy who said he hated Arabs.
"We should love the Arabs as we love our own family," he said. "They are our cousins, according to the bible. There are bad people in every group, and we shouldn't hate the whole group just because of a few bad eggs."
Very clarifying, if naive in retrospect. Fancy any imams saying something like that?
