about 4,000 years of the same killing and destruction. Just different weapons, same blood spilled. Human arrogance keeps westerns thinking we can "talk the crazies" into peace.

I've studied my religion a little bit. I'm aware of the claimed relation between the Hebraic people and the Arabs.

And my post was tongue-in-cheek. Hence the rolled eyes.
