Not the what but the WHY is the important point. Where? the holy Quran. Why? Very important question, one we have all danced around.
MOO-- Why I am hearing dictates to slaughter Westerners-- I pretty much attribute the whole thing to Saudi style Muslim Brotherhood types.
Another thing-- There is no free media in the ME. There is no independent journalist who would report you were captured, tortured, and killed, if that happened. There is only state media, and only what Mubarak wants to hear comes on the air. That's a fact, Jack.
So the entirety of this imamish advertising is very much supported by governmental powers (MB), although Mubarak would send them all to Mars if that would keep him in power for another 30 years.
I heard a joke in the East once--
God is reading a newspaper and realizes Mubarak has been in power for 30 years. He sends Gabriel down to bring him home. Gabriel says, It's time to part ways with your people Hasni. Hasni says, "Really? Where are they going?"
I saw this in the Economist eventually and it is a real joke! But it's illegal. Consider yourself part of Arab culture.
