"When a person sees that a different culture can produce a much better life,greater knowledge, greater mastery over nature, greater comfort and security, greater respect for the individual,than his own, he has two choices. He can adopt the new culture as a blessing, or he can seek to destroy it,and himself-because it stands as a reproach to his irrational form of existence." Let me repeat a quote that appeared in a column I posted on this thread, a quote attributed to a Yale-educated Saudi, "Israel represents the castration of Islam. That is why Israel must be destroyed Not only does Israel serve as a mirror to its neighbors' lack of democracy, technology, scientific advancement, etc., the military defeats it has given them have been swift, punishing, and decisive. In short, Israel has delivered not only psychic but physical pain to its neighbors while showing them how a desert can be made to bloom. Tough to take if all you've got to eat is pride.
