If we grant you your premise --- that yes, the A-rabs are blood thirty ghouls who, once they finish drinking the blood of the Jews will start in on the blood of the gentiles --- then everything you say is logical. How very humanitarian-sounding of you. But if you had made a similar defense of the Germans in 1938, would you have been right? You have to look at the nature of the regimes in the Middle East, what they are preaching, what they are teaching their children, how they are failing, how globalization is pushing their own failure into their faces and those of their children (over half of young Arabs say they want to emigrate - over half!), look at the scapegoats they have chosen to blame. If you do that, and you anything about history, you will reach certain conclusions. If on the other hand, you never read or listen to anything being said or spoken in Cairo, Damascus, Riyadh, or Tehran, then it is easy as pie to point fingers and accuse those who have of being racists.
