don't read the Arab press, so I have no idea how truthfully they portray it.

You admit that you don't read anything in the Arab press, yet you presume to judge that MEMRI is untruthful, biased, and dedicated to causing trouble between the US and Arabs.

I'm sure that with a good internet search tool I can find websites in the US where equally vile comments are made by our own Neo-nazis.

Of course you can. But you won't find their sentiments printed daily in a major daily newspaper like The Washington Post. Al Ahram is a major daily newspaper in Egypt, not a crackpot newsletter. Al Ahram is also government controlled; opinions that Mubarak does not approve of are not published there.

How do you argue with someone who admits perfect ignorance, yet thinks he's competent to judge everything anyway?

But the important thing to note is that if your biased view of Moslems were true, then it is not possible for Israel to make a permanent peace with Arafat.

Not all Muslims. Those who buy into the totalitarian Islamist philosophy, like Hamas, or those who started out as secular dictators and are now in hock to the Islamists, like Arafat.

Secular Muslim states sign treaties and keep them like other states. Israel has signed permanent peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan and all sides have kept the deal. If Mubarak ever breaks the deal, it won't be for religious reasons.
