Kumar. You said...." OK, I hear you. In your opinion, regardless of 9/11 its "muslims are bad". We will have to agree to disagree. "..... NO, you don't hear me, I have said over and over in past posts that not all muslims are bad. But many are bad and as long as these bad ones commit the atrocities that they are doing all over the world and the so called moderate muslims do not stand up and defend and fight for their faith then IMO they must except some blame for radical islam. Does not mean that all are bad but in my mind all muslims must except some responsibility for ridding the world of radical islam.

I wouldn't say muslims are bad, more like they are misinformed. In the middle east in Arab countries there is no free press, no open debate and no democracy. No one speaks louldy for the other side in Muslim countries. Not like in the West, where you can state an unpopular political position publicly and not worry about "disappearing." Look this is a lousy comparison but I'm going to make it anyway. German people in the late 30s developed all kinds of notions about the who their enemies were, poland, the checzhs, the french, jews ... and it was all made up propagana. I say in the same way, in the middle east, the muslim political mind is shaped via hate propaganda.
