I am so disgusted at the media, and religious "politically correct", and government, etc. for the blatant campaign to paint Islam as a peace-loving religion with only a few "extremists". While many Muslims may, in fact, be peace-loving, and horrified at the terrorist's activity of Sept. 11th, what they will encounter, if they vigorously pursue their faith as Muslims, will be an adherence to what real Islam teaches it takes to be a REAL Muslim. And that is that Jihad is an essential "tenet of faith" in Islam. Jihad is more than a Holy War. It is a required Islamic mentality. It is a spiritual principle that goes beyond military war and is at the heart of the "Holy Book" -- the Koran. Jihad includes terrorist attacks, but also the orders to destroy any believer in the Bible -- Jew or Christian -- whether by sword, gun, or any other means of violence. As this war on terrorists goes on, and civilians are caught in the crossfire, and propaganda begins to spew, how many "peace-loving" Muslims will be able to sit quietly by without being pressured by their own communities and families and native peoples to participate in defense of the Holy Koran? The fact that our own government, and media, and especially our religious leaders are either this ignorant or this deceitful, is very troublesome. I remain, SOROS
