Gnarley,

"historic boundries of the Ottoman Empire have been reduced " Who gives a shait? Binny and the boys care about the historic boundry.

Chives,

If one was to be historically accurate the confilct stems from Issac and Ishmael the parents of judism and Islam over 4000 years ago. A%0 years ago marks the modern rebirth of the Islamic crusade to drive the infidels from the traditional Islamic holy lands. The founders of this modern movement taught Osama and all the other "radical" Islamist of today.

BTW I heard a new word yesterday, Islamophobic. The BBC is using it. I wonder if it is like Homophobe? MEaning if you are really Islamophobic it is because you really have Islamic tenancies. Wait wait that would be a linear though and that is impossible for the left ;\)
