Owen and all:

The best site by far for all matters on the Middle East is run Juan Cole, a well known History professor at the University of Michigan.  He has many knowledgeable followers who both contribute articles and assist in maintaining accuracy. Today's (Thursday), and his links, give a very good rundown on the attack on the Ambassador and the provoking film.  Here is the link: http://www.juancole.com/.  I have read every one of his posts since he started his blog several months after 9/11.  Always invaluable.

Read! Digest!  Dean Gerber

Also, as I understand it, one of the hopeful developments in recent
years is that there HAS emerged significant push-back in the Muslim
world to the fundamentalist extremists. A related development is that
there has been growing Muslim hostility to Al Queda, because they
really don't like Al Queda killing so many innocent people, who
numerically are almost exclusively Muslims.

I'm afraid US coverage has downplayed these developments; they aren't
as dramatic.
