Sawdusty -

It is a shame that so many people in this country are unable to see the distinction between the extremist Muslims and the majority of them. The fact that the Bush Administration has cast this conflict as an existential one, giving the extremists credit for having far more power than they actually have, is probably what drives that. When people feel that their country and their way of life are directly threatened, they become a lot less discerning.
