An Egyptian muslim describes her culture:

Is it any surprise that after decades of indoctrination in a culture of hate, that people actually do hate? Arab society has created a system of relying on fear of a common enemy. It's a system that has brought them much-needed unity, cohesion and compliance in a region ravaged by tribal feuds, instability, violence, and selfish corruption. So Arab leaders blame Jews and Christians rather than provide good schools, roads, hospitals, housing, jobs, or hope to their people.

For 30 years I lived inside this war zone of oppressive dictatorships and police states. Citizens competed to appease and glorify their dictators, but they looked the other way when Muslims tortured and terrorised other Muslims. I witnessed honour killings of girls, oppression of women, female genital mutilation, polygamy and its devastating effect on family relations. All of this is destroying the Muslim faith from within.

There isn't going to be a pretty end to this.

In obvious places, you can rewrite that womans explanation of her world.

If you replace Arab / Islamofascist in your head, with Nazi or Socialist or Communist, and other appropriate titles, names etc. it still plays. Unfortunately its a song we all know too, too well.

There isn't going to be a pretty end to this.

No, there won't be. About the only thing that remains indeterminate is how many people (on both sides) are going to die before that diseased ideology somehow turns into something fit for the 21st century.

Decades of inhumane behavior do not excuse what's going on today. This generation must stop this madness in it's tracks - bringing these people into the 21st century won't happen.

It was nice to see someone point out the real reason the cartoon published in Sept. have only now become such an insult to the "Arab Street"

"Indeed, with Denmark set to assume the rotating presidency of the UN Security Council, the flames of the cartoon controversy have been fanned by Iran and Syria. This is critical since the International Atomic Energy Agency is expected to refer Iran to the Security Council and demand sanctions. At the same time, Syria is under scrutiny for its actions in Lebanon. Both Iran and Syria cynically want to embarrass the Danes to achieve their dangerous goals. "
