Death of Moderates in The Muslim World

Thanks to Israel and company, all volcanoes of suppressed, calmed and negotiated hard feelings are now erupting in the Muslim world.

All old and new wounds are now open and sore — from the creation of Israel on Arab land, to 1967 war that grabbed more lands including Islam’s third holiest shrine, Al-Aqsa Mosque, to the 1982 invasion of Lebanon and the over twenty years of occupation of its southern part, to Qana I that killed scores of civilians to Gaza and Jenin massacres up to the recent history from Afghanistan to Iraq.

The list of wounds is long and hurtful, and whenever it seems to cool a bit, an adventure like this hits again. No lull is long enough for moderates to preach peace, forgiveness and logic.
