    Sometimes I wonder why this animosity and hatred for the Arabs (and their 'culture') has never been directed (except by the Brits, I guess) against the Irish... or at least the Northern Irish. Sure a lot of progress has been made in the last 5-10 years, but before that you couldn't say it was a peaceful situation. Hell, it's even rocky now. By contrast, the Isreal-Palestine dispute is relatively young at a bit over 50 years.

      That's because England raped Ireland.

      We have no reason to hate Ireland or Irish.

        A perfect example of another sad, sad situation.
        And do you want to guess at what they also bare in common other than the religious differences of both sides?

          also I believe the protestants vs catholics has been bloody, and that thing has lasted for a LONG time, only now is it cooling down a bit.

            Or is it that we simply can't criticize the Arabs for anything in our precious little PC world?
            We can criticize the arabs for much. Including the situation in the ME. Which I have done on a number of occasions. Try again...

                  I blame the Byzantine Empire for having failed to keep the muslims at bay.
