We in the west have not changed over the last 10 yrs were going about our daily business its just the middle east is flexing its new found economic muscle [ oil to china ,shortages in the west] With people like yourself sat on an island far from any real threat by islamic fantatics preaching about tolerance to this kind of thing well fuck off and come back with a valid argument about the rain when you have actually got wet!

The crusades were a fairly long time ago..

The reason things have been bad with the middle east has alot to do with the way western societies and colonial empires have been infiltrating their politics for the last couple of hundred years. This recent series of conflicts coupled with the massive media which caters for billions, globally, is beginning to look like the straw that broke the camels back for middle eastern-western relations.
