Israel, of course, is even LESS worried about appeasing them -- because they know the only way they can do it is to cease to exist.
See this, this is what both you and UT don't seem to get. People get angry for a reason. There a deep, fundamental issues in Islamic society globally, issues of sovereignty, cultural power and economic power that need to be address. As I've said, countless times before - history has shown when people are angry is creates a fertile environment for extremist leaders who give people something to vent their anger at to rise to power. Hiter, the communist revolution in Russia and now OBL. Even if you kill them, you only make it worse, it's a meme and a powerful one. The only real, viable long term solution is to address the underlying issues of regional instability and economic stagnation. Do that, make people happy and wealthy and they won't be so worried about the great satan.
