I feel everyone is frustrated and concerned over issues that involve the Middle Eastern dilemma.  But I also feel that these issues should be dealt with, urgently.  The anger some express, is warranted, and is due to the fear of the anger that is not expressed, but is lying in wait to be expressed, by some, and is more prevalent in your backyard, than ours.  But it is also my opinion that this post, was meant to convey fear.  Both Americans and British have both, historically, always enjoyed comedy, and it is part of our (when allowed)  peaceful, good-natured cultures.  But also, historically, when we get continually stepped upon, we both tend to get tired and STOMP VERY HARD BACK, so as to continue with our way of culture.  I guess what I am trying to say is, that in life, and in this post, that Americans and British are more OPEN as to WHO we really are, and what are intentions are.  I hope this helps you understand the differences between anger, fear and tiredness.  And, since I know us Brits and Yanks are considered pretty lacking in awareness, could you please have a sense of humor, and post for me if you are aware of what I am trying to say?-please do, I'm interested.\n\nKirsty S.  You are a sweetheart,so please don't worry.  When you put your head on your pillow tonight, think "Everything will be okay" and KNOW this!!!

I can see you have the typical mind set of a Arab terrorist. You hate us so much but you are a typical terrorist coward. Spew your hate and hide .....take hostages and hide , plant bombs and run like little sissy fagot's, Be a man for once, realize why you carry two testicles between your legs. and if you hate this country that much ...LEAVE, or be a man and show your face, or are you too much a coward..................hmmmmmmm thought so..  Keep twisting the redderick, that's all your capable of. For those that think I am being to tight with the idiot here, read his answers and questions.

Just in case you are not fluent in the history, the Arabs have always had a hatred for Jews. Clear back in Biblical times they were taken prisoners and taken to the conquerors country as slaves... Babylonia, Egypt, a couple others I can't recall. The US backs Israel, making us also get on the hate list... but there are apparently other countries on the list also..Mostly of the western civilization.. not restricted to it however.. they are now taking over (or attempting to) countries and governments..

I'm not a muslim, but if I were, I'd be angry too at the US interference in the Arab region, and the occupation of Palestinian land by the Israelis

Americans are dealing with the Arabs and Muslims because they want oil but cannot give compromises against Israel which is a blood relative as a country.  It is very hard since there are conflicting interests in economy and heritage.

well i am not an arabian girl but my great-great-great grandma was. anyways i am a muslim and for me the only way to resolve it is through unity. the people of the middle east have to unite cos the more they fight each other the better chances for other nations to fire up the dispute. you know it is common sense. US and other nations who are at war there are making it worse only because the middle eastern people could not control themselves. if they really want to fight, it is the israelis and US armies that they have to worry about. it is their nation, i mean middle eastern people and middle eastern land. really it is up to them to solve it. and for the rest of the world it is definitely not worth it to go there and worsen the dispute. stay united and tolerate each other for your nation and for the next generation. i hope i will be able to see the end of this problem cos i feel sad to see innocence die and hatred prevail.

Long before Israel existed. Arabs have been committing mass murder against Jews at least since the 20's.

I'm sorry that you feel that way - nobody should feel like he or she is being discriminated against.  I think that most people don't feel anger toward the Muslim world, but they feel terrified of some of the leaders/ex-leaders of nations in the Arab world (Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, etc).  Ever since the terrorist attacks of 9/11, people have associated terrorism with the Arab world, and I completely agree that some have made unfounded generalizations towards Muslim people and people of Arab nations; however, it is a known fact that there are some groups in Arab countries that threaten the U.S. and feel/have felt for many years hostility towards the U.S. and other "Western Civilizations," so I think that many Americans, because of their intense fear, group all Arab countries/groups together, which is obviously not right.

what do you expect,you have to be capable of thought to address a situation logically,arabs behave little better than animals.

Arabs are the last people to make up a league among themselves. I will cut my throat if someone proves that an arabic alliance worked for Arabs at some time in history...

Because they're dirt poor and need an excuse to be angry at someone besides themselves.

the shiite muslimsbelieve that the leader of the faith have been ordained by allah and decendent from the prophet mohhamed-it is like our monarchy.\n\nthe sunni orthodox muslims believe that the leader is irrelevent to his birth-and this is where the two groups anger originates from.\n\nit all stems from the medieval times, and within the crusades the sunni and fatimid muslims would rather side with the westerners than unite, due to this dissagreement and border disputes.

Because the idea that they attack us from the "hatred of freedom" is silly.\n\nAt the core, the current troubles in the mid-east are an internal muslim civil war. These countries are caught between their own culture, which has a rich history, and modernizing, which comes with the risk of "westernization." (Until the seventeenth century the Islamic kingdoms were more advanced than their European counterparts.)\n\nThe attacks against the west are, in general, attacks against the source of modernization in the mid-east, and against the US in particular, the source of money for various authoritarian governments.\n\nThat does not mean we shouldn't fight terrorists and protect ourselves. Of course we should. But to understand this "war" we need to deal with the root causes - and those are all in the mid-east.\n\n("War" in quotes, because, as horrific as acts of terror have been, the current situation is nothing compared to WWI or WWII, or to the possibility of species extinction that came with the Cold War.)\n\nAdded:\nAlthough this is a minority opinion, I think the ultimate source of Arab anger against Israel is part of the internal muslim civil war. Of course the Arabs have grievances (as do the Israelis), but external Arab governments have done nothing but enflame the situation for 50 years. There are many cases of tragic explusions of peoples (Greeks from Western Turkey after WWI, the India-Pakistan split, Germans from Prussia and Poland after WWII), but in these cases other countries have attempted to settle the newcomers and establish new communities. This, tragically, has never happened for the Palestianians.\n\nIn my opinion, the Palestians have been cruely used by external Arab governments as a way to distract their own people from internal problems due to corruption and poor government.

First of all, the entire Muslim world does not hate Israel.  A sizable portion does, however.  Those who do, were brought up in countries that use hatred of Israel as a way to distract their own populations from the problems their countries face at home.  Without giving the population an outlet for their anger (Israel), they would soon lose control of their power as the anger becomes directed internally.
