re: "We Are Not Afraid: The Story of Goodman, Schwerner, Chaney and the Civil Rights

BlackHelicopterPilot, this picture illustrates what made MLK and Mandela great. Both of them were New Testament Christians. They truly believed in forgiveness and letting bygones be bygones, rather than settling scores. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but as far I know, both Jews and Muslims believe in the Old Testament creed of an eye for an eye and tooth for tooth. Jews are still searching the globe to settle scores with old and decrepit prison guards who worked at low level positions in concentration camps 70 years ago, Muslims have similarly ancient, albeit legitimate, grievances that they're still trying to address. In South Africa, Mandela supported settling grievances with the Afrikaners with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, but I can't imagine either side in the Israeli-Arab conflict supporting such an idea.
