These are all viable threats that need to be viewed very seriously. It appears that a majority of Muslims in the ME want the elimination of Israel.

Do you distinguish between the elimination of Israel as a political entity versus killing every man, woman and child in Israel? Probably not. Because I think you can make a case for the former and not the latter.

While all Muslims don't directly participate in terror, one gets the idea that the Muslim perspective is given greater weight over all others, even when it is decidedly evil. First off, who died and made you the judge of what is decidedly evil? At various times on this forum, posters have suggested that a sink to wash one's feet in is decidedly evil, not bringing dogs in ones home is decidedly evil, covering one's head (only if one is a Muslim woman, not if they are an Othodox Jew or a nun) is decidedly evil, etc.

The Palestinian issue is uniquely Muslim in that one of the richests religions in the world ignores the plight and poverty of some of the least in their kingdom. And yet you rail day in and day out over any financial support for Palestinians, which you would equate to terrorism. So they are damned if they do and damned if they don't. Personally, I'd rather see that they don't than have to listen to charges of terrorism.

If Islam were to walk the walk of alms that so many Muslims talk about, then there would be no Palestinian plight and all the Pals would be living in splendor in a man made paradise in some Muslim city like Dubai. And just how would they manage free trade across checkpoints?

The issue with Islam is really the existence of Israel and Jews in general. I'd suggest you reconsider that US or THEM talk. If you really think that 1000 to 1 Muslims are arrayed against you and using our every resource to destroy you, you should see just how different such a scenario would look.
