The auteur of this article is 100% right: “the quarter dropped”. For millions in the E.U. the actualities of last week are an eye opener. Many are starting to have a very cynical view regarding the relationship of the E.U. with the Arab/Muslim nations. The only thing that worries me is the deafening silence from the left (liberals) about this issue. I have a feeling that the only thing that will break their silence is an “error” from the U.S. or a brave little country on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean.

It is too bad the Europeans must learn the hard way about the complex challenges that characterize the neighborhood Israel finds itself in. WHA??? ONLY THE EUROPEANS? PRES BUSH CALLED THEM A NOBLE PEOPLE. LAST FEW YEARS HE CALLED THEM A PEACEFUL PEOPLE. HAVE WE SEEN ANY PEACE OR NOBLITY??

#23 SAID they are not as bad as Westerners are. Westerners (for example Germans, British, Americans, French, Holland, Portuguese) all occupied, killed, mutilated, robbed other nations. The new form of that is Israel. THE ABOVE IS THE MUSLIMS HIT LIST..BE AWARE WORLD. THE ARABS ARE OUT FOR WORLD CONQUEST.

WHERE is the MUSLIM APOLOGY to the ONE GREAT G-D of the UNIVERSE? Jews and Christians are outraged at the continual ATTACKS ON G-D by the Muslims. Muslim mobs destroyed Gaza Jews' synagogues where G-D was honored and exalted. Hamas flags flew from synagogue roofs as synagogues burned. Joseph is the beloved Bible hero of Jews and Christians. Muslims murdered IDF soldiers at Joseph's Tomb. Muslim mobs burned Jewish prayer books that gave praise and glory to the One great G-D, and destroyed the Tomb. In the Islamic invasion and filthy desecration of Jesus Christ' birthplace, Church of Nativity, BIBLES WERE TORN UP FOR TOILET PAPER. It was an act against G-D. Inscribed in those Bibles are the laws G-D gave to Moses. Some of the laws - Exodus 20: "You shall have no other gods before Me" "You shall not make for yourself an idol" "You shall not murder" "You shall not commit adultery" "You shall not steal" "You shall not bear false witness" "You shall not covet" Exodus 21:16 "He who kidnaps a man, whether he sells him or he is found in his possession, shall surely be put to death" JERUSALEM is MENTIONED OVER 800 TIMES in the BIBLE, not once in the Koran. G-D designated the Temple Mount to the Jews for His worship and prayer only. Muslims on the Temple Mount repeatedly engage in massive rock throwing at Jews, turning the HOLIEST place on earth into a common place of violence! Muslims have perpetrated massive desecration and destruction at Judaism's HOLIEST site, the Temple Mount. The OFFENSE to G-D is ENORMOUS! The Temple Mount must be returned to its Jewish owners immediately!

Listen, we feel these things all the time, when your government sanctioned newspapers print Nazi-era anti-Semitic crap depicting our Rabbis and blood libels and blaspheming and insulting our religion. We feel things all the time when you blow up our children, and use snipers to kill 10-month-old babies. We feel these things all the time when you lynch our people and display your blood-soaked hands before the cameras. It is you who massacre us and then get agitated about cartoons. You are the thugs.

If you haven't see the 12 Danish cartoons, I have them here. Very mild stuff. http://www.root-1.co.il/thesadduceeprintoutspoems.htm

And those who are wise enough to realize it, rather than cower away and pretend it's not there, will have a chance of surviving. Hopefully, these events would finally bring Europe's head out of the sand, to realize exactly with which people they're in bed with.

but unfortunately "the rabble" has succeded in scaring a lot of Europeans to silence. In order to preserve civilian peace they are now prepared to sacrifice parts of free speech and freedom of the press. Good reading in such gloomy times is a rereading of Stefan Zweig "Castellio contra Calvin. Ein Gewissen gegen das Gewalt." It is a wonderful book about the price of and the necessity of being a Mensch in times of political and religious fanaticism.

Yes, they are rabble. But, no more than those settlers who attack soldiers and tell their daughters to lie about sexual assault by soldiers and police. Don't worry so much about Arab rabble. Worry about our own.

because I have never heard it before in anyother english, same goes for third time I'll scream

when Jews start flying planes into skyscrapers. Or when they threaten to cut your throat if you make an unflattering cartoon of Moses or another Jewish icon. Only a willful idiot would compare teenagers in Amona to those Muslims, screaming and threatening to cut people to pieces. And we all know that this is no idle threat -- look at the photos of those decapitated Christian schoolgirls, in Indonesia, or the photos of those Israelis whose entrails were ripped out of them, or the Americans burned and hung upside-down from the bridge, or the videos of .... We can go on and on.

What an incredibly arrogant and stupid comment by Marc Cohen. Imagine a person who would declare that the girls at Amona were lying about their accusations of sexual harrassment by the Police. Marc, how do you know if they are lying or telling the truth. You weren't there. You are a liar and a buffoon.

Who is better than your enemies to describe you? Why our nice friends are so interested with this subject? You can eat all the Danish cheese you want until you fell sick. Did Muslim ask for your support? I don’t think so. Jews are very peaceful people!! Oh yeah PM Rabin was not killed by a Jew and PM Sharon was not afraid for his life. If you don’t like us this much why you comes to our countries and keep bagging for normalization? For the record if you can point out one instant the Egyptian media insulted your religion not your army or policies I will say I’m sorry.

#2 HUH? Who cares if this is an english saying or not,This artical is straight forward ,and to the point.No "WHY'S and EXCUSES,just straight forward journalisme.Straight talk,is what people understand,And what ,we are reading here,is a DAMN GOOD ANNALYSIS of what the real problem with the Muslim world is.So be it Pennies or Rubbels or cents,who cares,maybe,a penny for your thoughts,is more suitable????

As a French man,I love cheese,and will buy Danish cheese any timethey say its pretty good.,Just tell me where I can get it .Bonne appetit a tous le monde.

You see ,you as a muslim,have just once again given us the proof ,that you are a very intolerant people.Now you are blamming the GAY'S;What have they to do with this outrage of violenceon behalf of the muslim world ?Please,if you cannot accept a true critic as that of this Jounaliste,I suggest you,refrain from attempting your rediculous attempt,,for as you have noticed More and more ,nations ,are slowly but surely,seeing the real ways of Islam.and that is ,YOU MUSLIMS,SIMPLY CANNOT AND WILL NOT ACCEPT CRITICISM.No matter how true the allegations.You slander other religions at will,in your schools,in your newspapers,in your "films and Tv shows,in every corner of your society,and you threaten us now for a few rediculous cartoons,If it was'nt for the respect I have for the education I recieved,and the freedom of speach I have,I would say quite openly,that it is rather Pathetic,,the way your religion is reacting to this incident.I AM OF COURSE ,ASSUMING THE FACT THAT YOU ARE MUSLIM.FOR IF YOU ARE ,I DOUBT WHETHER YOU HAVE EVER HAD THESE FEELING TOO;

Hypocrite. it's also funny how this article first of all makes out that all muslims are the same. It also some how tried to work all the bad things done by the minorities into a defence of some a stereotype. Id say this article is so typically stereotyped, if you just change a few names and references it could easily have been published by an extremest muslim, but no its published by the "assistant director of the Center for National Security Research at Haifa University". Peace

Are you for real?or just plain ignorant?The Muslim people dont ask for anything,they take and impose,as a rule.The Western countries ,you are reffering to,do not beg for normalization;they prey the almighty,that you arabs ,will stick to yourselves ,as you are incompatible ,to intergrate into western society.If you Muslims wish to impose;the Sharia,impose it to your own people,not to the western world,and now get ready for some truth,this will show you ,how blind you and the likes of you,are,to what your "INTELLECTS" are saying about MY religion.Have you ever heard of "THE EGYPTIEN HISTORIEN""Professor"Zaynab Abd Al -Aziz?In an Interview she gave to the television ,in Saudi Arabia,On the 26 th May 2005.When she states that ,"THE JEWS WERE TOLD BEFORE HAND ABOUT THE TERROR ATTACKS ON THE WORLD TRADE CENTRE.AND THAT THEY ALL HAD TIME TO GET OUT;BEFORE THE PLANES HIT?Or that ,The VATICAN,THE USA& THE JEWS,ARE COMPLOTING TOTAKE OVER THE WORLD ECONOMY?THAT 4 THOUSAND JEWS CALLED IN SICK THAT DAY?WHAT A COINCIDENCE? I could go on and on,with more ludicrous and rediculous accusations,such as from,Mustapha Muslim a professor of the university AL-Shariqa,when he states that Allah resembled the Jews,In land of Israel,for one reason only,and that is so the muslims of the world can kill them more easily. So now I ask you sincerely,how can any one ,with an intelligent mind, believe your Intellects" when they speak such IDIOCIES?and these are the people who teach you at your unniversities,and schools,in your mosques and on the television.Really EGyPTIAN?With all this proof You expect us to respect you??? if you wish for further details,I can furnish you with lots more.But hopefully you understand French.and there is no need to apologise,for I believe you to be sincere.So,yes there are people who CARE.

Mr. Egyptian, You are forgetting all the times that programs have been broadcast throughout Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, as well in the obvious Palestinian areas. There are programs advocating suicide bombings and there are religious programs from Egypt that are state sponsored calling the holocaust a hoax and saying that somehow Jews controlled the world. There is even an imam that is qouted as saying that "Jews are the offspring of pigs and monkeys". So when people stand up for the Jews, they are right in doing so. Not all Jews are good, neither all Arabs. There is good and bad in every culture. First of all, it is European immigrants that cause most of the problems in Israel, not the Middle-Easterners native to the area.

We have a great saying in the US now: Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslim!!! Is that too stereotypical for you???

Are you trying to be smart or funny? Ok then taking your very reasonable theoryinto practice I can coem up with..... not all christians are nazis but all nazis were chrisitian, or not all americans drop atomic bombs on japan but only the americans dropped atom bombs on japan. So how exactly does your philosophy work then?

I am making a point that Islam, the religion of peace, is not peaceful at all and that it is not a sterotype these days. I can use your backwards logic to disprove anything. This saying started here in the US because people were at an uproar about racial profiling after 9/11. They were mad because the govt. pulled Middle eastern looking people aside in airports etc. to search them. This made a lot of people mad, but the fact remains that most terrorists are either muslim or arab.

Superb analysis. We, as Europeans living in Europe, are becoming second class citizens in our countries. We live in fear. Our politicians are scared stiff. They have sold our traditions and principles to appease the islamic world. We have reached the "point of no return". Unfortunately EU politicians don't seem to understand this! The danger is real.

My friend that backward logic you are referring to was an intended immitation of you're way of making a point, so i must say i agree 100% with your own word regarding it. It is a very "backwards" logic, try to avoid it in the future. The racial profiling your talking about is wrong, if done without any real (as in not just exhibitional) reasons. true most of the terrorists are arab or muslim, whats taht got to do with me my muslim arab friends the muslim converts blah balh, what i am saying is these few dont represent the billion others. If you think they do, well i think you're just looking for something to hate, if it wasnt muslims im sure there would be someone else. I also have soe Irish freinds but as far as i know none of them are IRA terrorists either, can you believe that ?!!!! I mean can you believe that they're not all the same?!!! Now go chill out

You say we should have no racial profinling. Well so did a lot of Americans at first and then they realized that old women and mothers with children were being searched in airports instead of concentrating on those who actually might be terrorists. Now people actually favor the profiling. Look all over the world and you will notice that most problems involve muslims. That is just a plain fact. Everyone knows that the few don't represent to masses, but we have to be safe either way. And you are very worng about needing someone to hate. I work for a Muslim Doctor and he agrees with most of the views I post. We live in the US where peopl learn to work together and tolerate each other. I still believe the UK is a little behind in that regard.

My friend like i said before, if they are doing it with purpose then i think it is ok, as long as they are not humiliating the person. So obviousely there is no purpos in tormenting kids and mothers, i wont disagree one bit. Furthermore you say that 2most problems involve muslims", well i will tell you of afew problems which i dont think really involve muslims: 2 WORLD WARS, China-Japan, the vilance that was seen in South America, Cuba-America, Japan-America(hiroshima), N.Korea-America, former Yugoslavia, Vietnam.... now go back a little bit, the British and Fench colonianism........ Ok now lets look at some vilence in the muslim world: Iran(my country)- Iraq war(all of the west helped Iraq kill over 1 million iranians, try to deny that), First gulf war(America's name comes up again), kosovo, ....... as you might have noticed, even in muslim wars there is non-muslim aggrevation. So do you see my point, that your judgment isnt quite fair. Of course muslims are involve din violence an di hope that one day there will be NO violence in this world. however judging people like you did, would leave EVERY religion guilty. Do you agree? Tell me what you think of what i said. Thanks
