I didn't see the video as saying that all Muslims are evil, but rather, that the Koran is bandied about as the answer to all of life's problems, rather than actual progress and human rights.
Obviously not all Muslims are evil, but equally obviously, in the Middle East, Islam is seen as the answer to life's problems, and notions such as human rights and fairness are thrown out the window. This puts Muslims themselves in a dire position, being manipulated by their incompetent, corrupt, and brutal leaders into accepting them, as they are Islamic, and are fighting the non-Islamic 'other.'
In short, Islam has become the ultimate wedge issue, and it is Muslims who are the victims! :-(
I've been missing out on articles on this site ever since this thing was posted, because I keep coming here and seeing it on top and wonder why there hasn't been any updates.
I wonder how different the world would be if we didn't depend on oil? Who would bother to give the time of day to these crazies if they didn't have oil? I know it's wishful thinking but with an alternative to oil, we could just round up all these troublesome hatemongers amongst us and drop them in the desert, back where they belong.
lexcen, I agree that our oil dependency does end up funding the jihadis. But, oil is not behind every muslim terrorist act. Take for example the Toronto terror plot (blow up the stock exchange with three tons of fertilizer and behead the prime minister). These people were not trying to drive the US out of the oil rich regions. They were motivated by their book. THAT'S where the trouble starts.

Steven,
Great video. This goes along with my saying that I am one of the few truly pro-Palestinian people out there.
one hate-ridden propganda against another hate-ridden propoganda - two wrongs make two wrongs
While Israel should not be blamed for all the problems of the Palestinian people - all Muslims should not be branded as evil - obvious point
Indeed the so called Arab brethren are guilty guilty guilty of allowing the Palestinans to live in such dire states
In fact - I don't care whether it's Palestinians/ Israelis/ Muslims/ or Jews - inhumanity is inhumanity, hatred is hatred. It's no way to live.
Humanity should be "the culture for all" and not hateful messages towards anyone - because it does not solve the problem.
Oh and also here is a link for some Scientitfic analysis on the polonium poisoning: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6190144.stm
Cheers be well :-)

Lexcen,
Ahhhh, a world without the need for oil. One can dream!
