He took a little child and had him stand among them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them, "Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me." John 9:36-37

Re-Post: "Making Sense of the Arab World"

Making Sense of the Arab World
Cal Thomas

A growing number of Americans are expressing unfavorable views of Islam and a majority now says that Muslims are disproportionately prone to violence. Gee, I wonder where they got that idea?

A new ABC News-Washington Post poll found nearly half of Americans have a negative view of Islam and that figure is seven percentage points higher than in the tense months after September 11.

James Zogby, president of the Arab-American Institute, says he is not surprised by the poll results. He says politicians, authors and media commentators have demonized the Arab world since 2001.

He’s got the demon part right, but the Arab world has demonized itself, not only tolerating, but promoting anti-Jewish, anti-Christian and anti-western views. From sermons in their mosques, to stories, editorials and cartoons in their newspapers and the most horrid hate on their television screens; the Arab world has demonized itself.

Instead of spinning this as a matter of western bigotry, the Muslim world ought to be concerned about cleaning up its act; unless, of course, this is its act.
