in response to reader comment: Your analysis

I could summarise your entire piece in a couple of words;

" I am afraid of what I do not know. I've been brainwashed by the conservative media and Mr. Pipes, who both have admitted having secret agendas. I don't want to bother with other plausible explanations. I am content being in the dark and enjoying my hate for others."

the PLO by default is the palestinian liberation organization, established to over come an occupation. It's initial mandate was mass chaos, but today's realities dictate that the only plausible solution is to establish a 2 state solution. Now, I know that the idea is unacceptable to many, on both sides, but reality trumps ideological stances. The world will never be muslim, jew or christian free and the days of having one religion or the other conquering lands and converting people is long gone.

The war today is purely based on the concepts and practices and what each religion has to offer. People look at islam and they are afraid, people look at christianity and they remember its dark history and priest indiscretion, people are always looking for the answer.............why are we here? We must give them the choice to look, search, read and finally come to their own decisions. Islam is losing on that front mainly by the actions of its allegedly most devout supporters. It's a shame that the most religious are usually the most hard line radicals, intolerant, and judgemental. It's very difficult to get those chosen by God to change their points of view , since they believe that their ideas came directly from HIM. So give the world a break Aranov, switch of fox news ...and go learn something about the other side, what you learn might be different to what's been handed to you ...
