...called Palestinian state created in Gaza and the West Bank [WORLD, Aug. 19]. As the homicide bombings continued, however, and I studied the history of the region and read more about Islam and its tenets, I changed my position. I now believe the separation of Jews and Arab Muslims is a matter of life and death. The Arab nations and those who call themselves "Palestinians" have made it clear that they cannot bring themselves--as Muslims--to live with or near their Jewish neighbors.

"We were both in shock," recalls Sana, who telephoned her brother, a student in Ann Arbor, Mich., that first night to make sure...
...part of the world, the Arab Middle East, a great tragedy results from our governments' well-intentioned attempts to cure society of extremism through education. These leaders, however, don't teach what they should to produce the values they want. They seek moderation and enforce piety. They seek citizens who value life, yet their school curriculums exalt the value of science and ignore philosophy and history and the liberal, humanistic values they embody. That is why those who excel in such a system are no less immune to the call of extremism...
