Hey, if you've got some more accurate history do please share.  Your statements are worthless unless you've got something to back them up with.  If I'm wrong I really would like someone to show me.  I'm all ears (or eyes).   

And FYI, I don't know who Robert Spencer is and I didn't copy/paste anything from this web site that he apparently has.  I have heard of JihadWatch but I'm not a user of that site.  Sorry, not me.  I'm sure it would be convenient to simply cast me aside like that, but I typed all that 100% on my own without referencing anything... it was all my original work.  I've read a number of books on the history of Palestine, and that's my synopsis.  Feel free to recommend anything else.

As for living somewhere else though.  It's interesting you should suggest that.  I've actually already arranged to study at a school in the West Bank (Birzeit) for a few months.  They have Arabic classes that focus on the Jerusalem Dialect.   

I don't know why people think I ought to leave Qatar though.  I've quite enjoyed my time here.  It's been a great experience.  Obviously if I didn't want to be here I wouldn't be.  It's pretty simplistic to brand me as being "miserable" when you disagree with me.  A weak response really. 

This is a discussion forum... what's the big deal about expressing a blunt opinion about certain things?  It's interesting that just because you don't like what I say it doens't mean I'm wrong :) I get a lot of ad hominem responses but very little substance.
