#1 And exactly how do they refer to the Sunni-Shiite killers in Iraq?

#2 I'll let more knowledgeable (not hard) people comment, but IIRC, about 20% of the israeli population is arab (don't know the muslim/christian/druze %, neither the part of bedouins, could look it up online I guess); during the last intifada round, the shifting of loyalty of israeli arabs towards their "brothers" has been quite evident, both in acts (coordinated demonstrations right at the very start of the preplanned "al aqsa intifada", terror) and politically, as demonstrated here.

IMHO, Israel should be very, very aware of that. Also, the "maternity war" is raging in Israel too, so don't think that Europe alone is threatened by the boumedienne "we'll conquer you with the wombs of our wimmen" strategy..

#3 Twenty percent of Israelis are Arabs. Post-Oslo, there has been a steady trickle of family unification citizenships given to Palestinians from the PA, who've brought their curious ideas with them. The womb competition is not a shoe-in for the Arabs, though. While the Europe-descended Jews (Ashkenazis) tend to have small families, those that fled/were expelled from the Muslim world post-1948 have birth rates approaching that of the Arabs. If I recall correctly, the Ashkenazis are now less than half of the Jewish population, taking the Labour party with it -- and the non-Ashkenazis do not have the same Western guilt hang-ups, but they do remember the pleasures of dhimmitude.
