A place I go to for takeout cappocino is also frequented by Arab/Muslim (these guys were originally from egypt) taxi drivers and so yesterday morning I asked a bunch of them what they they thought Arafat means when he says "a million martyrs will march to Jerusalem" and when he says "jihad, jihad, jihad." They (five) took Arafat's meaning as a call to die in war and figured he was promoting the business of suicide bombing. They all agreed the meaning of Jihad is nuanced, but they took Arafat's message as an endorsement of suicide bombing.
