#2 Iran's view is that US funding for extremist Sunni Muslim groups opposing the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980s set the stage for the emergence of the Taleban and al-Qaeda.

Seems like the MMs have been reading the NY Times again.

#5 Tom Friedman is right. change will have to come from muslims themselves. and as long as so-called "moderate" muslims allow this tripe to spew, they will remain ignorant and marginalized.

#6 The answer isn't going to come from the muzzies themselves. I think the answer will eventually be supplied by several Annapolis grads who are currently junior officers on Ohios.

#7 This is totally predictable considering the Shiite/Sunni schism within Islam, Iran's fixation with Israel, and the Islamic propensity toward self-contradiction ("al-Qaeda did it"...no, wait... "the Mossad did it").

"This savagery is not Islam"
Right, neither are your centrifuges.

Qom -- third holiest crater in Islam.

#11 Islam is a mental illness. It may be treatable with radiation however.

#13 HHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmm, so iff I understand the general Islamists' argument correctly they want America and the West to get out of Islamic/Muslim areas so that they the Islamists can get on with conquering the world, includ but not limited to America and the West, and establishing a Global Islamic State/Islamic OWG, and they are going to accomplish this mighty feat by creating a global ARMY OF ISLAM composed of many old geezer Generals and Imams but no young men = warriors as the latter are all being sent on suicide missions!? ALL HE HUM BIG [OLD]CHIEFS, FEW TO NO INDIANS, AND DA WIMIN - read, BEARERS OF FUTURE WARRIORS OF ISLAM AND ALLAH AND MOHAMMED - STILL GET REPRESSED ANDOR SLAUGHTERED AT A WHIM. THATS A MANUAL FOR PRAGMATIC CONQUEST AND MODERNITY IFF THERE EVER WAS ONE - WHERE CAN WEST POINT OR THE ROYAL MIL ACADEMY OF WONGA-PONGA, ETC. GET A COPY!
