In my church, my priest has never preached that I should make a effort to put down the terrorists. When I speak with my friends this is not a topic of general discussion. I have no idea what is said by hundreds if not thousands of Muslim clerics in America or around the world. The only thing one sees is all those who have controversial opinions in the news. When does the news ever go and ask boring people their opinions???

I'd say I've seen as much coverage of the tens of thousands of good priests vs those few obscene ones who molest children as I have seen of the tens of thousands of ordinary Muslim clerics vs those who express evil views.

I don't hate Muslims, but they are making it difficult to stay impartial. If they made a concerted effort to put down the terrorists who act in their name, it would count for a lot.

The time for impartiality passed away on September 11, 2001.

Tommy whines about how his friggin' "priest has never preached that I should make a effort to put down the terrorists." Well, his priest ain' never done this because his priest ain't a dang muslim! Duh.

But look at the priestly perverts in the catholic church. Why is it such a fuss? BECAUSE THE DANG CATHOLICS THEMSELVES are rooting the perverts from their midst. The catholics themselves are putting down the catholic perverts and no dang body even has to tell them to do it. That is why we are slowly but increasingly gaining confidence in the catholics. The catholics them friggin' selves are calling for the heads of the perverts, suing them in court, defrocking them, forcing their goofy leaders to get with the friggin' program. There are now gobs of catholic groups forming SPECIFICALLY to hack out and condemn the perverts. Meetings are going on even now amongst the very highest catholic authorities to form worldwide policy to hack out and utterly reject the perverts. Are Islam's topmost clerics doing anything of the sort with their perverts? Not on your life. Not a single one.
