I can't wait to see the comments on this article. I expect you will be called everything from a bigot to a hater for "painting the Arab world with a broad brush". That's one of the liberals' favorite cliches when truth and reality do not coincide with the moral/cultural/religious relativism they worship at the altar of political correctness. I believe that Islam is the driving force behind the savage Muslim ethos; it is a religion that vilifies love and compassion and encourages brutal cruelty. Vengeance and retribution are imperatives; forgiveness is anathema. To sum it up succinctly, everything Western people consider evil and sinful is a virtue in Islam.
