That's true. And there are some that are assisting in some very unsavory Islamophobic incitement as well. A great deal of what goes on on both sides is political based on what's perceived to be best for Israel or what's perceived to be worst for Israel. Take all of the politics out of it and we are left with still problems of interfaith bigotry, but much reduced. Some idea of what the level would be like is to look at skinheads and Nazis around the world who don't have much of an Israel agenda. That in itself is a big problem, but if it were used by governments as a rallying cry, it'd be much worse.

Ah?

We can't magically take the politics out of it, but we can begin to recognize what is rhetoric and political propaganda. That can be achieved through thoughtful, non-violent interaction. Blogs like this one, at their best, permit some of that. At their worst, they become centers of more incitement.

The ball is in Muslim court. There are billion of you and 15 million of us... and we are a lot more active in that field.
