I now see Muslim clerics denouncing this, although I do not have the power to gauge their sincerity. I would also note that these clerics lose no propaganda opportunity to defame Israel and that, as far as I have seen, none of the WTC and Pentagon terrorists was a Palestinian. Nor is the leader, bin Laden, acting out of frustration for being downtrodden and oppressed: he has a $300 million fortune. I should also note that the Palestinians are heavily armed with 70,000 rifles given to them by who?--Israel!!!!!! Why don't these clerics ever mention that whenever an Arab state has actually recognized Israel's right to exist, Israel has returned strategic land, and had peace (viz. Egypt and Jordan). Israel also withdrew from Lebanon after secret security negotiations with Lebanon and Syria. The Palestinians are being tormented by Arafat who, for personal reasons, refuses seriously to discuss peace in the same manner as the late Anwar el-Sadat and King Hussein of Jordan. Instead, he purposely creates young martyrs by placing them among armed gunmen. To give him the benefit of the doubt, he may actually believe he is sending these children to Paradise. Arafat may rhyme with Sadat, but there the resemblance ends.
