A note for the sake of historical accuracy

It is indeed a powerful interview and video, and a brave woman - and one can only wish that a great many Muslims would see the light in regards to terrorism and intolerance and barbarism.

However, I must point out for the sake of accuracy that, barbaric as the acts of Muslim terror may be, it was actually Zionists who introduuced modern era acts of terrorism to the Middle East, and that, though largely covered up in the western media, the same Zionists and their descendents continue to commit acts of terrorism and atrocities in against the Arabs who lost their lands and to their Arab neighbors.

These Zionist terrorists, whose leaders came on to be the later and present day leaders of Israel (Begin, Shamir, Sharon, etc.) appear to actually have desended from Khazaria - a mostly forgotten but very powerful ancient nation from the 5th to the 13th century AD that converted in mass to Judaism in the mid 8th century to avoid influence from the Roman Christians on the west and the Muslim Arabs on the east.

When Khazaria finally fell to the Mongol horde, the people were driven east and came to settle in what is now Poland, Russia and the Balkans and are believed to make up the vast majority of the world Jewish population

This history is detailed in the book "The Thirteenth Tribe" by Jewish author Author Koestler.

In no way should these historical facts detract from the bravery of the woman in the interview, nor the correctness of her condemnation of Muslim barbarism and intolerance.  Nor for that matter should it invalidate the Jewish right to a homeland.

Perhaps, however, an unvarnished look at the historical background may provide food for thought as to why the Arabs are less than happy over having their homelands taken away and given to people who did not have the same birthright claim they have and the way the uprooted Palestinian people have been harshly oppressed and treated at the hands of those their lands were handed over to.

Barbarism, oppression, terrorism, war, violence - none of these have a place in a enlightened humanistic society.  One can only hope and pray that we all continue to struggle to become one.
