As the article says, Americans (and most aggressors) must demonize their victims - just ask Jews or Gypsies or Parsis or Mormons.

Funny how the middle east doesn't feel so far away for me here in Amsterdam. Sympathetic Germans all over the world, have you not watched the world lately? Those bombers in London which I was there for where British asshat and the plot foiled once again they where British accent and all. I'd say there are some sympathetic muslims all over the world, they do not identify with their country, Arabs see themselves as Arab.
Pull your head out.
