#4  Heck, for shits and giggles I might rip apart the koran I have and do just that this weekend. (Yes, I accept the inevitable fatwa that comes along w/defacing islams most holy comic book.)

IIUC, any translation of the Koran is not a real Koran, so that may not be a fatwa-worthy action. Of course, I'm sure there are (all too) many imams who would gladly make an exception.

#2  "it is impossible to know which Muslims support terror and which do not. Anyone who says "they ALL do" is wrong."

-same could've been said about the nazis. When Patton took over Bavaria as the mil governor he said for many Germans being a nazi was like being a repub or dem back in the states. (Of course this created a pc fire storm back home to the uneducated). Though we were never certain if the engineer on the trains who wore the swastika arm band or the guy that ensured the city had electricity necessarily supported the gassing of jews but the bottom line is - like nazism the underlying ideology that is the core of islam needs to be destroyed. Or, at the very least, moderated to the point of being innocuous. I've mentioned several times in the past that I'd love to see a jeffersonian type koran. Heck, for shits and giggles I might rip apart the koran I have and do just that this weekend. (Yes, I accept the inevitable fatwa that comes along w/defacing islams most holy comic book.) I swear, I'll only use the most absurd passages for toilet paper. (which prolly kills 80% of that book.)

To beat a dead horse - not all muslims are terrorists, we all prolly know some who are decent folks who do not take the religion literally. The rub is that so many of their co-religionists have made the cost/benefit of keeping this religion around at an all time low. For the record I don't want to kill a fifth of the world's population, I just want to kill their religion.

#1  good post. I commend President Bush for attempting not to inflame emotions against Muslims because it is impossible to know which Muslims support terror and which do not. Anyone who says "they ALL do" is wrong.

But what is becoming clear as time moves on is that we are in a multigenerational conflict and the majority of Muslims currently support breaking down our way of life and replacing it with their own fascist brand of religion. They don't give quarter. They don't give, period.

It's taking us a long time to get a clue because it is so amazing to us that anyone would want to return to the worst of what the 7th Century had to offer. But Americans are beginning to wake up. It's such a shame really. All of the senseless violence and loss of life is unnecessary. Isalm is not a Religion of Peace. They can feign indignation all they want to, but the Average American is beginning to realize Bush was right when he said - you are with us or against us. It's going to get much worse before it gets better.
