Lets Make Friends?

I found this on Drudge www.drudgereport.com: "Wipe Israel from map", says Iran’s president. By Gareth Smyth in TehranPublished: October 26 2005 21:26. (Read it: http://news.ft.com/cms/s/14ee1ccc-465b-11da-8880-00000e2511c8.html) So this is what we should cow tow too? These are the type of people that we should be trying to understand?

The President of Iran went on to say "Anybody who recognises Israel will burn in the fire of the Islamic nation’s fury.”

I don't mean to preach hate against Islam, but it seems to me that the majority of the leaders of this religion are haters themselves. They hate Israel, they hate western civilization, America in particular, they hate you and they hate me.

Now you can give arguments that we bring it on ourselves, but long before the war in Iraq began, these extremists were blowing up civilians worldwide. Furthermore, they have never indicated how peace may be achieved except through violence and genocide.

Wouldn't it be nice that those who opposing the war putting just as much passion into coming up with practical solutions for defeating or nullifying this kind of hate?
