You're wrong.

The koran doesn't and can't teach what's "deep down inside" people.

OK, I'll accept that, but I still believe (with no malice) that they wish for our destruction, secretly, deep down inside, because we are infidels.

There's nothing secret about it - the koran says to make war on infidels until they convert. It's only because of their weakness and poverty that they've been relatively peaceful for a few centuries.

which should make you wonder why the administration is so anxious to turn over strategic US assets to an Islamic country:

White House defends port operations sale

FEB. 16 2:43 P.M. ET The Bush administration on Thursday rebuffed criticism about potential security risks of a $6.8 billion sale that gives a company in the United Arab Emirates control over significant operations at six major American ports.

the company in question is state-owned by the United Arab Emirates - one would think that giving control of the ports of New York, New Jersey, Miami, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and New Orleans to an Islamic government with direct ties to 9/11 would not be such a good idea. just another day in Bushville, huh?

It couldn't be any more dangerous than giving Iraqis control of their own oil wells. But don't believe a word albed says, being rich and powerful in the near future will not make them declare war on the rest of us infidels.

no, it just lets them sponsor and support those who declare war on the rest of us infidels.

[albed]

Of course not. If they declared war on the U.S. they'd stop getting it's money.

Well at least put forth your own theory explaining their recent peacefullness then. I've read thick books on Byzantium, the Arab Conquests and the Ottoman Empire so I think my words are more credible than the amusing concoctions you've produced over the years.
