I also see evidence that a lot of otherwise sane people are starting to buy into the premise that Islam is somehow inherently evil. As a generally tolerant society, we must fight for understanding and resist the black and white answers.

Can you blame people?

9/11 was done in the name of Allah by Muslim fundamentalists. This is the legacy that OBL and his gang of thugs have left the world, and it is up to Muslims, not me, to improve their incredibly tarnished image.

I don't see much evidence that Islam is gaining converts. I don't hear people say, "Gee I want to become a Muslim, I just love what they stand for."

If Muslims want to be understood and accepted they are doing a lousy job of selling themselves. Is it because their goals are not to be understood or accepted, but rather obeyed?
