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. I know this wasn't pointed at me, but I had to comment anyway. I think Islam is getting such a bad wrap because it seems that nobody is willing to denounce the actions of the extremists without a "but". You get comments like "the terrorism is bad BUT you have to understand blah blah". Also, you have people preaching not only hate, but hate coupled with encouragement to kill. Terrorism (especially targeting kids etc) is one case where the end does not justify the means. It's so far from reasonable, it makes the lack of denouncement from other Muslims that much worse. With the radical Christians you at least don't have to look too far to find another Christian that will agree that they are idiots (without using a "but"), and you rarely (ever?) have someone preaching it's ok to kill somebody else.
