Good article by Oriana Fallaci. Thanks.

Before the increased Palestinian terrorist campaign, against Israel, the world was in fear of the Islamic fundamentalist threat to democracy and freedom. After the Muslim attack against America, on Sept 11th, one would think that the world would become additionally cautious and fearful of the spread of Muslim extremists and terrorists.

But, in a strange twist of logic and reason, the world is insisting that a Islamic fundamentalist state be set up in the West Bank and Gaza!?

A Palestinian state would be governed by the same extreme and dangerous powers that control it right now, which are terrorist Muslim groups.

Even America, who recognizes the world wide threat of Muslim terrorist groups, is pushing for a Palestinian State, which, obviously, would be controlled by dangerous, Islamic extremist groups.

This is insane. But, why doesn't the rest of the world view it that way?
