lorne, What I am having the most problem with, is that most Americans assume the best out of the Muslims. Is it because of our judicial system saying "innocent until proven guilty?" I can not tell you how many conversations I have been in with non-Muslims that know relatively nothing about the Muslim writings, and they come to the defense of the Muslims. I mean I show them Islamic verses in context, and with no reason they always say the clearly negative content and tone of them must be able to be explained away. And I'll take it one step further, the same people are not even willing to explore the possibility of them being negative at all! You get the excuses, "well there is violent teachings in other religions scriptures also", "the Muslim religion is a peaceful religion", etc, etc ... And I can assure you, the people reciting these mantras don't even know if what they are saying is true or false. It's scary how many people have become blind followers, and are being deceived. They might be surprised of things to come being so naive and not willing to study. Its up to them.... God Bless, IGIT PS - One more thing, how does anyone suppose to fix this Islamic problem without ever fully understanding it? Can anyone you know fix problems without fully knowing what they are before fixing them? You can help the symptoms without full understanding. But you'll never fix the problems.....

lorne, I think being politically correct in the USA has proved to be a hindrance more that a help. It has given many groups of people an excuse to take undo advantage. I don't like it at all. I hope this thread will open the eyes of people who don't want to accept the reality of the situation. And I think followers of Islam should be treated as the terrorist cult they are! I would like to see them all deported. We've been walked on, spit on, and murdered for being too nice to people, who don't deserve it. We like to think that the golden rule will make things better, but some people have no intentions of following it, and find it is an opportunity to stick it to us. Enough is Enough!
