To be honest it's a bit disingenuous to say that more terrorism is committed by Muslims against Jews than vice versa without mentioning the power imbalance. Jewish Israelis have less reason to become terrorists, as they have the israeli army to enforce a status quo favourable to them, whereas the Palestinians feel themselves to be oppressed by a hostile government, and, lacking other methods to achieve their political aims often resort to direct violence. When the Jews were a struggling minority in Israel as well they also committed a fair bit of terrorism (Deir Yassin for instance). A similar situation occurred in Northern Ireland, where the IRA commited far more terrorism than loyalist groups. Anyway those are a few ideas, if anyone likes them and knows a bit more than I do about what this page is for, they can change them.[[User:Cmurphynz|Cmurphynz]] 22:51, 20 June 2012 (EDT)

Forgot to mention this one, Ambrosius and Arthur are implied to be the same person, and although facts are almost impossible to come by about this era most sources that mention them imply that they are different people. What's there at the moment is a valid interpretation, but it is considerably less common than treating them as different figures, so someone might want to clarify the language a bit to reflect this.[[User:Cmurphynz|Cmurphynz]] 22:58, 20 June 2012 (EDT)
