To fully understand what's going on in the MidEast....
http://www.antimedia.us/posts/1155773683.shtml


   ....you have to know and understand history. Two articles on the
   internet will help you do that. One is [1]a brief history of Muslim
   imperialism written by James Arlandson.
   Long before there were Christian crusades, Muslims had been crusading
   through the MidEast and even into Europe, slaughtering as they went,
   converting those too fearful to fight or take a stand for their
   beliefs.

     It is only natural that the Quran would be filled with references
     to jihad and qital, the latter word meaning only fighting, killing,
     warring, and slaughtering. Textual reality matches historical
     reality in the time of Muhammad. And after.
     But this means that the Church had to fight back or be swallowed up
     by an aggressive religion over the centuries. Thus, the Church did
     not go out and conquer in a mindless, bloodthirsty, and irrational
     wayâthough the Christian Crusades were far from perfect.
     Islam was the aggressor in its own Crusades, long before the
     Europeans responded with their own.

   So Islam has a long history of violence and imperialism. Western
   crusades were a reaction to that violence, as those who were attacked
   finally had enough and undertook to subjugate the Muslims, who had
   been attacking and harrassing them for centuries before they took up
   arms.
   Their so-called "cult of death" has its roots in the early days of
   Islam as well.

     634 At the Battle of Yarmuk in Syria the Muslim Crusaders defeat
     the Byzantines. Today Osama bin Laden draws inspiration from the
     defeat, and especially from an anecdote about Khalid al-Walid. An
     unnamed Muslim remarks: âThe Romans are so numerous and the Muslims
     so few.â To this Khalid retorts: âHow few are the Romans, and how
     many the Muslims! Armies become numerous only with victory and few
     only with defeat, not by the number of men. By God, I would love it
     . . . if the enemy were twice as manyâ (Tabari, 11:94 / 2095).
     Osama bin Ladin quotes Khalid and says that his fighters love death
     more than we in the West love life. This philosophy of death
     probably comes from a verse like Sura 2:96. Muhammad assesses the
     Jews: â[Prophet], you are sure to find them [the Jews] clinging to
     life more eagerly than any other people, even polytheistsâ (MAS
     Abdel Haleem, The Qurâan, Oxford UP, 2004; first insertion in
     brackets is Haleemâs; the second mine).

   The article is quite lengthy, but every Westerner should read it and
   understand who our enemy is. It is most certainly not the "poor",
   "oppressed" Arabs who have suffered under our hand, as some claim.
   The second article traces the history of [2]Muslim Nazis, tracing
   their lineage from Jerusalem Mufti Haj Amin el-Husseini who was known
   as "The Führer's Mufti".
   The Nazi influence grew throughout the 30's and took root in the
   MidEast even as Nazi Germany was succumbing to a humliating defeat.

     The most influential party that emulated the Nazis was "Young
     Egypt," which was founded in October 1933. They had storm troopers,
     torch processions, and literal translations of Nazi slogans â like
     "One folk, One party, One leader." Nazi anti-Semitism was
     replicated, with calls to boycott Jewish businesses and physical
     attacks on Jews. Britain had a bitter experience with this
     pro-German mood in Egypt, when the official Egyptian government
     failed to declare war on the Wehrmacht as German troops were about
     to conquer Alexandria.
     After the war, a member of Young Egypt named Gamal Abdul Nasser was
     among the officers who led the July 1952 revolution in Egypt. Their
     first act â following in Hitler's footsteps â was to outlaw all
     other parties. Nasser's Egypt became a safe haven for Nazi war
     criminals, among them the SS General in charge of the murder of
     Ukrainian Jewry; he became Nasser's bodyguard and close comrade.
     Alois Brunner, another senior Nazi war criminal, found shelter in
     Damascus, where he served for many years as senior adviser to the
     Syrian general staff and still resides today.

   Although you may not realize it, you are probably familiar with one of
   his descendants who died recently.

     The PLO and notably Arafat himself do not make a secret of their
     source of inspiration. The Grand Mufti el-Husseini is venerated as
     a hero by the PLO. It should be noted, that the PLO's top figure in
     east Jerusalem today, Faisal Husseini, is the grandson to the
     Führer's Mufti. Arafat also considers the Grand Mufti a respected
     educator and leader, and in 1985 declared it an honor to follow in
     his footsteps. Little wonder. In 1951, a close relative of the
     Mufti named Rahman Abdul Rauf el-Qudwa el-Husseini matriculated to
     the University of Cairo. The student decided to conceal his true
     identity and enlisted as "Yasser Arafat."

   That's right. The feral Arab hatred of the Jews is firmly rooted in
   Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf, from which came the
   Mufti's own -- Yassar Arafat.
   Still think we can negotiate peace with these people?
