I have frinds who are Arab Muslims. I have known several Arab Christians as well.

Irregardless of their stated faith, they are all significantly lean more toward the fanatical side than the vast majority of non-Arab Christians. The Arab Christians treated their wives and children exactly the same as the Muslim Arabs. I found this odd.

The most striking characteristic about Arabs in particular that I have noticed is that if they consider you a friend, they are totally your friend. In the same manner, if they consider you an enemy, there is no changing that fact as well.

A friend emailed me an article. I will not paste the article, but will provide the link to the author's website. The author is a French filmmaker who does documentaries. His latest work is on suicide bombers. There is lots of stuff on his site, but the piece I read is on the home page and is halfway down and is titled "The Counterterrorism Blog Interview with Pierre Rehov, documentary filmmaker, on psychology behind suicide bombings."

Not intending to start any wild discussion on world religions, but the author does illustrate support for the asssertion that Islam is not a religion of peace.

I firmly think that in our current time, we will likely use our self defense skills and training either in another Katrina/Rita scenario, against illegal immigrants, or against terrorists on our home soil. Just my opinion.
