Will this increase or decrease the likelihood of terrorist actions in America, Europe and the rest of the world?

UN camp for Gaza children torched

Masked gunmen have attacked a UN summer camp being set up for children in the
Gaza Strip, UN officials say.

The attackers burned tents and destroyed other equipment after tying up a guard.

They also left a letter threatening the head of the UN Relief and Works Agency
(Unrwa), John Ging.

No group has claimed the overnight raid, but observers suspect it is the
work of Islamic extremists opposed to such camps for boys and girls.

sorry camelot, but your sweeping statement is akin to mine where i said all arabs were lazy and disruptive etc ..... the only difference is that mine was made ironically whereas your, i think, is at least half-way serious

i am not at all knowledgeable about islam, but i get the strong impression that the "true faith" is actually remarkably tolerant and very much promotes the education of women etc etc

unfortunately, the zealots and (political) extremists have hijacked and manipulated the faith for their own end

though you could facilely say that the masses could have rejected this, and certainly not followed, scientific studies have shown very graphically that many/most "normal" people are easily manipulated and "led astray"

.

so are all germans nazi thugs, murderers and worse?

.

correct, but it does not make all germans intrinsically nazis, any more than all followers of islam are intrinsically extremists.

unfortunately, it takes an awful lot to motivate the silent majority to act on what they know to be "right" ..... we are all guilty, if that is a fair term, of failing to act for what we know to be right, but rather muddle along, adapting ourselves and our lives to most comfortable line - de facto, we also suppress our morals .... all a bit simplistic i know

of course, once the "silent majority" start agitating for change, they then become extremists themselves! ...... naughty Cynic!

What's gone wrong here?
An outbreak of sensible discussion.
I'm speechless.
Where are you fred/nick and fahel? Come back, lower the tone to the gutter; why don't you. You know it's what you do worst.

Perfectionist.

I looked postion on googly.

groan!

time to abandon this thread again until it returns to sanity .... this is fast slipping downhill to its former level, and is thus of no interest to me at all

Konafah with Ricotta

Konafah is shredded phyllo dough and can be purchased in the refrigerated section of Middle Eastern or Greek grocers. It may also be labeled katayef, kataif, or just konafah, These are all the same product, just different Arabic dialects.

This Konafah recipe uses ricotta cheese, but there are several other recipes that use other ingredients like nuts, fruit, and more.
Ingredients:

1 lb konafah, thawed
2 sticks butter, melted
1 lb whole milk ricotta cheese
Simple Syrup (recipe below)
Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350F. Cut thawed konafah into two inch strips using a knife or kitchen shears.Place in a bowl and pour in melted butter. Toss konafa gently to ensure it is covered evenly with melted butter.

Place half of the konafah in the bottom of a 9x12 baking dish. With a butter knife, spread the ricotta over the konafa.

Add another layer of the remaining konafah and bake uncovered for 20 minutes.

Halfway through baking time begin prepring the simple syrup. See recipe for syrup.

Once the konafah has finished baking, pour desired amount of syrup over pastry and serve. Enjoy!

Could we please focus our disgust on fahel and fred/nazi nick who are most deserving of our condemnation?
