I certainly recognize that there are a lot of intolerant even murderous Muslims in this world. I just don't see how anyone can conclud that being a Muslim turns you into a fanatic who wants to destroy all non Muslims so once again Islam is not your enemy. [/quote] you could put an end to all of this, all you have to do is put a stop to your fanatics, clean it up from the inside, but you won't will you? you would much prefer to lull the rest of us into thinking there is a separation between you and the killers. [/quote] "all you have to do is put a stop to your fanatics" That would be a tall order for anyone in any group there will always fanatics in every walk of life. I have muslim friends and believe me they dont all want to kill all non-muslims. Palestinian people come here from Gaza to go to hospitals and some come to school its not what you see on T.V and in media its just not. [/quote] Maybe not, but I'm guessing that all of the riots we see almost daily here are not staged, and the hundreds or thousands of people violently participating (burning flags, killing people in the street periodically, and screaming death to whomever) I believe are a rather fair representation of the ideology (for now at least). If not, why are so many of the Christians in countries such as Egypt or Libya trying to leave - now that the "radicals" have gained power? So, when we see this in our media, we have no choice but to paint most of you with the same brush - because as a percentage of the population, it appears that your radicals rule...and that you condone their idiocy through your complacency. True, there are a few brave souls that may stand up for what is right, but not enough to make a difference that we can see anyway. So, now in this country...we see your radicals gaining more and more influence in our cities and government, and in some cases (such as Dearborn) instigating the type of violence we see in Egypt and elsewhere. We see the arrogance of their ways, and again have no choice but to assume all of Islam is no different. That said, when the majority for "peace" stand up and demand that these acts of violence be immediately halted, and begin to rise up against those TRULY instigating it, we might be able to accept your premise. Heck, that might even be the spark that causes our side to do the same. [/quote]
