Yes, stop posting we're at war against Islam. We're definitely not. In fact Osama and his followers are about as Muslim as Timothy McVeigh was christian. A lot of evil is done in the name of religion, but those who commit the evils always misinterpret their religions' lessons.

Extremists like these pervert their own religions by twisting the words and reading doom, gloom and hatred into their prophets words. I haven't read the Koran but I'm sure it doesn't tell Muslims to go kill innocent people. As the Bible doesn't tell people to blow up federal buildings, kill family planning personnel or threaten federal judges. And if if ancient books did say something akin to that, the world has changed a great deal in the past 2000+ years and the old words don't always apply.

Also, the more Americans demonize Islam the more of our brave troops are going to get killed by religious wackos over there.
The last thing our troops need is to be caught in the middle of some ridiculous holy war when they're trying to win hearts and minds.
