Yet, many Islamics believe that their God wants them to murder innocent civilians.
Why don't the peace loving Islamic people stand up against the extremists?
When good people do nothing, evil will continue to spread, don't you think?!
I suggest that the Arab/Muslem governments must get involved in order for the terror to stop. As they stand idly by, saying nothing, they are essentialy encouraging their people to ignore the teachings in the Koran. Now that Arafat has denounced some of his own people, maybe other leaders will follow suit.
Any thoughts?

Arafat: Targeting civilians, whether they are Israelis or Palestinians, is a deplorable act.]

P.S. Just heard this the other day in a Dr. Dyer special on PBS:
Wars escalate when we respond to hatred with more hatred. Civilized people find a way to respond to hate with love and concern for the afflicted ones.
P.S. II (there aren't a whole lot of civilized people in the world today)
