Iraqi ‘independence celebrations

Or maybe, just in this particular case, the "radical native" really is to blame? If we choose to accept the underlying premiss of your hypothesis, which is that the "native" is equal to the "european", and not inferior (a hypothesis I agree with, btw), then the "native" has to step up and take responsibility for his actions sometimes (and not always blame it on the "other"). OK, let's stop being obtuse. And let's be frank. Unfortunately, there are far too many Muslims who take Sura 98:5 (and other similar passages from the Koran) as license to bring forth the wrath of God on those who do not believe. Of course, many others of other religions act unjustly in the name of their God or their prophet (Jews and Christians included), but so long as there are people in this world who think their religion is the only way, and damn to hell those who don't believe, then we are stuck where we are (or at least until the Klingons/Romulons/Borg come to unite us in common cause).
