Johannes is merely stating that there are many Islamists in and out of the U.S. who support the terrorist actions. He is right about that. It is not stupid or narrow minded to acknowledge that reality.

There are several million American who follow Islam and I've see no reason to suggest based upon anything I've seen or heard that the vast majority are not good Americans. I never said they were not. But I sure as heck don't know it is true as a matter of fact. You are obviously a man of great lunatician faith because you don't know either. The fact is, the vast majority of muslims quite obviously do not have authority enough to define Islam such that they are clearly distinguishable from the Islamics who wish to kill me. So I consider it pure numbskullian political correctness to walk around as if muslims are not a threat. These folks are not like others criminals. Their religion actually approves of their attempts to nuke entire American cities and whole societies of them across the world long for murder. Whole societies of muslims, whole countries of them, loathe the U.S. and wish it to be destroyed. And many of these wicked nations are exporting Islamics to our shores. Now you may call their take on Islam "distortions" until you drop, but you are not a suitable authority on the matter. When you whine about "distortions," you simply say "I agree with the actions of these muslims but reject these other muslims." Big friggin deal. Other folks agree with the muslims you reject and reject the muslims you accept. Who is wrong, you or they? The fact is, Islam can indeed be legitimately interpreted such that it approves the destruction and oppression of others, and you simply do not have the authority to claim otherwise. Your claims are empty because you are unable to stop the millions upon millions of wicked muslims across the world who fervently embrace an Islam that approves murder. The "good" muslims are not even in authority enough to define their religion, so we really do not know collectively who they are. The muslims who really are getting to define Islam are those who took out parts of the Pentagon, who slaughtered thousands of people here, who've repeatedly murdered and maimed innocent women and children all in the name of damned Islam and its murderous god allah. These folks have defined what Islam is, and no one, not even you, has stopped them with a higher, more powerful definition. So from my vantagepoint it is just plain stupidity to keep whining about the "good" of Islam when tens of thousands of people are being murdered by that wicked religion. Perhaps the vast majority of muslims are good Americans. I think this is likely true and I would have no problem with them. But you just claiming the majority are good based on emptyheaded faith don't make it so. It also don't mean a danged thing. The majority may be good, while a large minority of them may be quite wicked - supporting terrorists either directly or otherwise. This is a distinct possibility because millions of them across the world are even now chanting for the death or my wife and children. I have no choice but to be skeptical concerning them. You folks is crazy. You get murdered, whole buildings of folks get slaughtered and you just sit there like idiots talking about "good" danged muslims while hordes of muslims cheer and beg their danged corrupt "allah" for your heads. In that context I consider your comments on PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH's positions on Islam to be be thinking in a stupid and narrow minded way. And you cannot possibly be such a numbskull as to think I consider your comments on my comments to be worth any more than a crock of crap. You seem unable to understand the difference between American citizens and citizens of the third world. You seem unable to understand that this is just stOOpid and irrelevant. In many cases its muslim American citizens who, like third worlders are bombing folks and who are cheering when folks get hurt.
