		<description><![CDATA[Muhammad slaughtered at least one tribe of Jews and sold the women and children into slavery, then there is the, &quot;before the Day of Judgment can come every Jew will be killed by Muslims.&quot; Then there is the Jewess who tried to poison Muhammad and may have contributed to his death. These things are not new, therefore the idea that it is just a different race problem is ridiculous, it is Jew hate from the first Muslims. ]]></description>

White supremacy was on an excellent  path, with a lot of bright people contributing to the cause. Excess of bigotry killed them, once and for all. 
Moderate jews overcomed brightly South american anti-semitism. Excess of bigotry by the non moderate made people dubious again. 
Moderation built a Jew nation. Chutzpah will bring things back. Be sure. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Of course Mary Sue is correct. The Palestinian Authority was indoctrinating children to martyr themselves as suicide bombers from before the year 2000, while at the same time the Mosque Imams were rousing the congregation to hatred, martyrdom, and to kill the Jews, at every Friday morning sermon. For video clips see the Israeli NGO PMW = Palestinian Media Watch, with current and archive material going back through this whole period. The Director of PMW has made world-wide presentations to the US Congress, British Parliament, and numerous other national parliamentary bodies, Universities etc. which indicate his prestige, caliber, and Establishment acceptance .  
Yes, the martyrdom indoctrination and incitement are based on Sharia teachings which  echoed and still do so within what is now the Palestinian Authority. Of importance is that until about 4-5 years ago (I&#039;d have to check the date but don&#039;t want in the process to inadvertently  lose this Comment by the computer closing it out), the Palestinian Authority consisted of the entire West Bank together with Gaza, ruled by Yasser Arafat. It was only when the Israelis decided to leave Gaza that Hamas became more powerful and took over Gaza. So the Sharia influence was operant in the entire area of what is now The Palestinian Authority,  and the separate entity of Gaza. The pity is that when the Israelis left Gaza, they left intact a $100,000 agricultural industry of glass houses which were very valuable and had been prized by the Israelis who had lived in Gaza, and built that industry there. As soon as the Israelis left, the Gazan Arabs, deliberately tore the entire greenhouse complex to pieces with loss of this valuable trading and money-making asset. That was the birth of Gaza as we know it today. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The only country in that region that shows economic growth, education for its children, modernization of industry, just a whole lot of good has come from Israel. The only thing we get from the muslims is death, death, death. It is the lack of education that keeps the muslim from aspiring anything for its country, the lack of nationality, the lack of caring, Islam is death, muslims are death, the Middle East needs to destroy itself, then maybe out of the ashes a new Arab nation will come. Israel is not the problem in the Middle East, the muslims and Islam are. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Then, as now the question was a) who (which leader / regional power) would emerge as the leader of the new Islamic expansion and b) how effectively would the western powers respond? 
 
During the Crusades, the various western Crusader monarchs and other military powers (The Templars etc.) fell to squabbling, and without reliable support from the west, were at last unable to match Saladin&#039;s prowess.  Is history repeating itself?  Not quite.  In my opinion Obama, his administration and more importantly, the people behind his administration want to see Israel destroyed and want to see a large scale war in the region.  These are true warmongers driven in part by a rabid anti-semitism, who see the chaos of war as means to further their kleptocratic and ultimately, totalitarian ambitions.  The Muslim Brotherhood is their chosen tool.  They are fully aware of the dynamic you describe and seek to channel this historical force for their own purposes.  That they are birthing a monster is of little concern to them.  They believe they take a long view, but they are really short term thinkers.   ]]></description>

Is history repeating itself?  Not quite.  In my opinion Obama, his administration and more importantly, the people behind his administration want to see Israel destroyed and want to see a large scale war in the region.  These are true warmongers driven in part by a rabid anti-semitism, who see the chaos of war as means to further their kleptocratic and ultimately, totalitarian ambitions.  The Muslim Brotherhood is their chosen tool.  They are fully aware of the dynamic you describe and seek to channel this historical force for their own purposes.  That they are birthing a monster is of little concern to them.  They believe they take a long view, but they are really short term thinkers.   </p>

		<description><![CDATA[More than two centuries later, having failed to match us economically, technologically or militarily, the Islamic community, organized as it is around a creed of conquest and forced submission, can only resort to mass, indiscriminate violence.  It seems to me the dynamic is similar to the Crusades.  Western powers took lands in war from a hostile and aggressive Turkish empire, which was vying for leadership of the Islamic community.  Before it could respond effectively, the regional Islamic powers had to experiment, mainly through regional power struggles to finally find a leader, and field a force that could drive out the Christian knights.  The Christian Crusader kingdoms became the rallying point for a new wave of Muslim expansion.

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, one can see this struggle by the ummah to come to terms with, and overcome western power, going back to colonial times.  The Ottomans, Persians and Egyptians all experimented with western forms &#8211; whether western style military culture, economic systems, industry and bureaucracy, parliamentarianism, socialism...  Not to mention western social norms.  Of course the conservative instinct of the Islamic community rejected all of these as a threat to Islam itself.  We in the west had gone through the Renaissance, the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution which allowed us to transition from a religious worldview to an empirical one, though not without much bloodshed.  Islam, so far, has not been so successful.  Behind it all was the (often unconscious) objective of uniting the Islamic world to defy western power.
