Greetings!
Monotheists, by their very nature, must oppose one the other. When, and if their God speaks to them-even through Scripture-the message depends upon translation.
Cultures are sometimes very different from their neighbors, and what works for one, might not work for another. Add to that the coveting of natural resources ( whether by A-Theist merchants, or Religious Fundies) and the stage is set for the hate mongers to strike.
Many Folks in this World work toward a Goal of mutual understanding. The only ones that don`t, have loud voices, persistent attitudes, and limited understanding of reality.
Can a Duality exist within Monotheism? If a Monotheist Culture is faced with another Monotheist Culture, must one Demonise the other? Even A-Theists seem willing to invent the concept of Evil to explain away those who do not share their view. Sometimes the Wounds must be cleansed with harsh methods, sometimes not.

Not really. But seriously He didn't say that he wants to "wipe Israel out of the map". This is exaggeration and pure propaganda. What he meant was that Just like the Nazis, the Zionist regime would be gone too soon. He didn't say he wanted to blow up Israel or kill the Jews. His speech wasn't in English and the west as always did what it does best. Mistranslates, misquote and feed it to their ignorant people. GOOD LUCK!

I think he would look more appropriate in a shade of red with horns though.
