I came across this video clip on Digg. It is actually posted on Google Video. It is a 5:28 segment from Al Jazeera TV on February 21, 2006 featuring an incredibly passionate and intelligent speech by an Arab-American psychologist named Wafa Sultan.
Even through she is speaking a foreign language to me, I have never "heard" a more succinct and rational explanation of what is going on in the Muslim world today. Basically she explains that the conflicts we see are not based upon religion or culture, but a huge gap in civilization. An ignorant Middle Ages mentality vs. a modern, technological one. Most importantly she criticizes the tactics of the Muslim extremists as destined to fail.
Brilliant. Please watch.
