By Steve Israel Rep. Steve Israel represents New York's 2nd Congressional District.

LAST YEAR, I met with King Abdullah II of Jordan. Over tea, he predicted that, as a new generation of leaders emerged in the Mideast, peace would be possible.

He said that when his father, King Hussein, used to meet with the former president of Syria, they talked about rivalry, conflict and violence. But, he added, now when he meets with Syria's young president, Bashar Assad, they talk about modernizing financial institutions and expanding the Internet. Yet, since my talk with King Abdullah, almost 500 Israelis and approximately 1,300 Palestinians have died in Mideast violence.

These suggestions will be just as effective as when Josef Goebbels was told that he had to 'eliminate anti-semitism' from German newspapers. The schools will change (and the supporting culture with it) when they are through cleaning up the radioactive craters that will replace Mecca, Baghdad, etc.

Islam must join the civilized world or be extinguished.

Arab Schools Must Stop Teaching Hatred

But then, they wouldn't be Arab schools anymore, would they?

From Mr. Achmed's Neighborhood. Arabic Television children's show.

Mr. Achmed: Hello little martyrs!
Little Martyrs: Inshah Allah!
Mr. Achmed: Ah! My little bundles of explosives, I have a new word for you today. Can you say Jihad?
Little Martyrs: Jihad! Jihad! Jihad!
Mr. Achmed: Wonderful! I knew you could!
Little Martyrs: Jihad! Jihad! Jihad!
Mr. Achmed: Good! Good! Now pay attention little martyrs. Today were going to learn how to make exploding sock puppets!
