Your forgetting that Muslims attack and threaten Muslims who talk or do things they don't approve of. Either you comply with the rulings of radical Imams or you are subject to a FATWAH ordering your execution (Rushdie). You also left out Austrialia, Germans, and those evil doers of Anti-Muslim behavior in Somalia, the Pakestani's who had the audacity of trying to feed people without food in Somalia. Add to it what is going on today in Kosovo, Kashmir, the Phillipines, Nigeria. As others have noted, the fringes of Islam are covered in blood, and no one dares say that the Islamists are blood thirsty reasons for this carnage.

As I said quite a few times before (and I am not the only one) 9/11 was not a "Kill all Christians" thing. It was a "Get back at America for all their meddling in our affairs and hurting our Muslim brothers" thing. Before you nuke me: Do I agree with this? No. Re that link you have pasted, I replied to it. perhaps you could come up with reasons why the moslems are attacking in....China, India, Russia, Indonesia,arab countries, USA Russia - Chechens want their own country and their own state and the struggle there has been going on for a long while, although I suspect you noticed it when they recently took people hostage in Moscow. It is a gross simplification of the situation to say "Muslims are attacking in Russia". USA - See above. China - What terrorist attack in China? I believe you are referring to the sporadic clashes between marginal groups in the rest of the countries you are referring to. Trust me, I do not love terrorism any more than you do. However, your attempts at pinning all the world's wrong on the religion Islam that has been around for quite a few hundred years will not work. What about the other terrorist attacks elsewhere? Ever heard of PKK, ETA, and IRA? Was their struggle religious? Why are there no attacks on the Vatican? That's as Christian as it gets, imho. How about other countries in Europe with Christian majorities?
