"The "Arab world" in as far as radical Islam is concerned, will be overrun, occupied and reeducated in the near future. It's already beginning to lay down under pressure. Every day, more of our good, US-trained Islamist killers are Arabs themselves."

I knew what you meant and agree 100%. Radical Islam is an insidious disease on humanity. I would love to see a world where Israel and the Arabs could live side by side in peace. The problem is I have had my Jewish friends (I have a few believe it or not) and my Arab friends (I have a few believe it or not, although most are Arab Christian) tell me that it will never happen, and these are people who would like to see it happen.

I would be lying if I said I didn't harbor some hostility toward Israel. It is obvious in my posts. I have hostility toward France and Germany (the home of many of my ancestors way back before Germany was even really a country)also. All in all I like these countries though.

But I despise Islamic Fundamentalism. Despise it. But I realize a majority of Muslims in the middle east think these people are nuts also. They really do. I've been to the region and firmly believe this. This is not to suggest that there are not millions of Islamists who wield great power in the region. And millions more who sympathize with them. I still feel the world can solve this problem without annihilating Islam. We just need to tweak it a little bit; ie kill or silence the Islamist leaders who perpetuate hateful, fanatical beliefs.

As for Israel, the state's survival will always be a major struggle because of the demographics of the region. People are misreading my statements if they think I am rooting for Islamists to destroy Israel. This is just how a see the situation. I do not share your optimism that Israel will survive in the long run. I am hopeful Jews will remain there and have a stake in the government, but believe that the "Jewish State" will eventually be replaced by either a multi-ethnic republic where Jews have some autonomy but not a nation of their own(this is the more optimistic scenario), or it will be replaced by an Muslim Arab dominated nation (this is the less optimistic scenario). I am sure neither of these options are acceptable by your standards, but I believe one of these two scenarios will occur in the next 50 years.
