Yeah, I would have to agree on this particular point that the lack of peace in that region is nothing new. Perhaps the media not being as prevalent made it seem so. You can even look back to 1947 with the Partition Plan and all of that and Jewish buses being attacked the very next day. It was never peaceful.
However, I also agree with others that it's wrong to put all muslims under the same umbrella with these extremists. There are peaceful muslims. Not all of them are evil or believe in evil things. I actually have a friend who is muslim myself and he is very peaceful and not against christians whatsoever. It's unfortunate that the good ones deal with the stereotypes and prejudices created by the bad ones.
