This is a critical point that is lost on most people. We sit here and have intelligent debate about the issues, and talk about solutions, root causes, etc.. I can assure you, that this does not happen amongst the general population in the arab world.
Yes, there are academics and educated people like anywhere else, and like anywhere else they are a minority. But unlike here there exists another very influential minority - the violent, radical minority - that is hell-bent on death and killing. It brings this message to the streets and the mosques through the bastardization of Islam; the perversion of the Jihad concept to brainwash vulnerable members of the populace to hate Jews and the West to serve their (the fundamentalists) own selfish goals
