In response to Islam - Religion of Blood posted by javelin:

It does not seem likely to me that either bombs, peace talks, or democracy are going to stop the Sunnis, Shites, and other Muslim sects from killing each other. About the only thing the vast majority of Muslims all can agree on is that Israel has no right to exist and so all the Jews need to leave or be killed. It is that hatred that binds them together.

So why do they hate Israel and the West? Perhaps because their leaders blame the economic and social problems in their countries on the West (which is better than blaming themselves from their perspective). Another problem is the the religious leaders teach that the Koran makes all non-Muslims infidels. Infidels are the enemy and must be shown the light (convert to Islam) or eliminated. Now if the Israelis and the West could be eliminated it would be a lot easier for the leaders in these countries to continue to control their constituents in order to enrich themselves.

So put me in the skeptical camp when it comes to either going to war or having peace talks with Muslim countries of the ME because the citizens are for the most part so brainwashed that they are not interested in reason or reality. Their faith trumps both.

Perhaps no one can come up with a solution to the ME problems because there is no rational road to peace. Am I wrong?
