Oprah Winfrey's popular print magazine -- 'O' -- has an ongoing feature named 'Rescuing the World's Girls.'
O's June 2005 edition focuses on the plight of an 18-year-old Palestinian who was tried, convicted and is currently serving time in an Israeli jail for conspiring to perform a suicide bombing.
The author, David France, asks the question: "What would make a girl take such a radical and grisly step?"
France quotes an author and university professor who asserts that: religion is not the cause [of Palestinian suicide terror]... these are people who define their situation as hopeless. They feel that they have no way to respond against what they see as Israeli military aggression.
Incredibly, the lengthy 'O' article completely ignores a main factor behind Islamist terror -- the incitement to violence that continually spews forth from Palestinian media and mosques such as Palestinian TV's Ibrahim Mudayris'. (The author makes only passing reference to Yassir Arafat's individual statements that 'seemed to incite.') Yet the Palestinian girl featured in 'O', Yusra Abdu (at right), was likely bombarded by such messages her entire life.
