by the same token, if you polled the Germans in the 30's very few would have openly admitted to wanting to kill millions of people, but the silent majority let the minority commit untold acts against humanity. I am sure the same can be said for Cambodians, Hutu's, Nigerians, Zulu's, Serbians, Croats, Kosovars, Bosnians, Muslims living in Pakestain or in Kashmir, perhaps even Chechans, but if they allow their fanatic minorities (or majorities) to run amuck they are guilty of duplicity, at the very least. That is the problem with Islam today, the supossed majority is basically silent, allowing the radicals to do unspeakable things in their name. Whether it is because they support their efforts or because of fear, silence in the face of tyranny is a crime. On that score, the world of Islam is on the whole guilty. I look forward to seeing that "majority" prove themselves stronger and more willing to sacrifice in the good name of the religion they love.

Had a big windstorm yesterday and power was out until late this afternoon...so the delay in responding... First, google as you know is only one of MANY search engines, that point one to MANY different articles, and websites, from all over the world.... Try any of them, you will see... and Second, I think what you say below is true. The only thing I mention is that if only 5% of the 1.3 billion Muslim population bears any ill will toward the US or any other country, that would still be quite a number, don't you think? 65,000,000 is a fairly sizable number. Hopefully, the majority of the 1.3 BILLION folks will start shouting in BIG LOUD WORDS to the rest of the followers, to cease and desist with the "killing of Americans and America"....... and u believe everything google spits at you ? IMO, the vast majority of the 1.3B muslim population bears no ill will towards the US or any other country. They just practice their faith like Catholics and other Christians or Hindus or Buddhists or....
