"Has something I said made you think I support gratuitous violence?"

Uh, yeah. Maybe I misinterpreted something.

"I am sorry I may appear to be extreme, I am not really."

Good to know.

"I believe that if Muslims want to live in peace with Israel, they should be allowed to.

I don't have a lot of confidence that we will see that without the intervention of a messiah or something but I agree with your sentiment.

If they want to kill Israelis, then they should expect to die. the Muslim past of killing 1.5 million armenians, helping the Nazis gather up people for the ovens, and displacing 900,000 Jews from Arab countries means that the tiny space of Israel has been paid for in blood. The present genocide in Darfur with Muslims killing others without mercy shows Islam for what it is far better than anything else. Look at the murders in Iraq where Muslims kill each other outside their Mosques, or kidnap and torture each other for no apparent reason.

I abhor the fact that all of those situations have come to pass and am touched by them in a much more personal and painful way than you could possibly appreciate.

Our divergence on this may be more with the tools we use to describe our enemy. I prefer a scalpal, you seem comfortable with a broad brush... overly broad IMO.
