Re <<I believe Islam is the problem, as it is a violent religion that condones the killing of innocents. Those, including the president, who assert that Islam is anything else, are just bowing to political correctness.
While it may not be politically correct to condemn the religion, I think the religion SHOULD be condemned, because it lies at the heart of the terrorism problem. >>

Interesting, you are of course entitled to your opinion. But it seems your opinion is solely based on your never ending desire to over simply issues and characterize them in your binary world.

I think we both can agree that you know nothing about Islam other than what you have seen on news TV since 9/11. I don't disagree with questioning the whole religion based on the recent violent events, but to make such condemnations based on limited and one-sided source is a mistake.

Have you ever thought about separating cultures and religion? I think you need to think about the two as independent factors that can combine to form devastating results. These events, through out the history of mankind, are not particular to the religion of Islam. By definition, Koran and ONLY Koran can define Islam and its rules. Koran is mostly the Old Testament.

I understand that my opinion does not adhere to your black and white philosophy, and is hard to consider since you are looking for a simplistic solution and an easy scapegoat to condemn, but that is the way I see it.
