If you are a young Muslim American and head off to the Middle East for a spell in a fundamentalist “madrassa,” or religious school, Homeland Security will probably greet you at the airport when you return.But if you are an American Jew and you join hundreds of teenagers from Europe and Mexico for an eight-week training course run by the Israel Defense Forces, you can post your picture wearing an Israeli army uniform and holding an automatic weapon on MySpace.

So, what is so special about these teenagers that gives them the right to get all this training, but not Arab/Muslims teenagers?
You figure out!

Could it maybe be that one is/has been known to be a threat to the ‘Homeland’ while the other is not?
Could it maybe be that one is/has been known to be the OCCUPIER by all means of force and aggression while the other is not?
the west will fall really, really soon
I think that both Lynn and Haitham are right.
The American’s first concern is for the security and safety of their citizens, so anyone training in a radical Moslem madras will automatically raise suspicion.
Also, the fact that the many of the Arabs want to occupy Israel (and throw the Jews into the sea) is also an issue with the Americans.
Ehad Haam,
The fact is ignorance is our worst enemy.
First, Israel is the occupier or Arab Palestinian land, and Arab/Palestinian resistance is to liberate the occupied lands, not occupy them coz one can’t occupy his own land.
Second, you are repeating a myth which is more than 70 years old (throwing Jews into sea), whoever, why did you ignore the endless calls of Zionist leaders to throw the Palestinians into the sea and wipe them out of the map?
Some quotes for your reference here:

As Yitzhak Shamir put it so colorfully: “The Arabs are the same Arabs, the Jews are the same Jews and the sea is the same sea.” The question is: who is throwing who into the sea now?
Palestinians do not want to throw the Jews in the sea (or feed them to sharks), we just said that there is a land called occupied Palestine. It was burglarized and it needs to be returned to the Palestinian people, and this is a basic human right, which include fighting occupier by all means. If that means throwing the occupier into the sea, then why not. We fight the occupier, not the Jews, and there is a big difference between the two.
Lets assume that someone occupied your land, and you derived him to the sea. Does it matter if he is a Muslim or Christian or a Jew? I guess not. If you don’t throw him into the sea (and feed him to sharks), he will.
