It's a good question, but a guess doesn't really help us much now does it?

I do think you're striking a big thread of misunderstanding about Islam, the concept of Jihad and it's violent incarnations throughout history.

This isn't to say that there isn't a lot of hate and blame taught, but then again we do have Pat Robertson and Jerry Fallwell

As I've been saying, the problem we're facing isn't rooted in Islam proper, but a political expression of Islam that's evolved in our world...not born from the Koran.

Kids in madrassas (sp?) aren't taught hate because the Koran says to...it's because their political leadership wants to control them.
