Another example of how the greatest threat to Muslims peace, freedom, and stability is Muslims themselves: 17 Iraqis murdered by Muslims on their way to work... news.bbc.co.uk

That article is some brain washing job Allah did.. I mean it's just amazing. If all Christians started getting crucified to martyr themselves for Christ we really would be in a pickle... The whole article scares me. Willingness to die so readily for such a aberration and mindless thinking. What a terrible thing religion has done to man or man has done in the name of religion. WHICH.

RE: "You can't tell me it's fringe when Muslims throughout the Middle East were cheering in the streets and handing out candy when they found out we were attacked on 9/11." You can't tell me it's fringe when Muslims throughout the Middle East were donating blood after we were attacked on 9/11. What you do, is take a data and extrapolate it to the entire population. That's very poor math. Regards, Amy J

I think your math is off. There are 1.2 billion Muslims in the whole world, the majority of which live in the Middle East, which is a very violent and barbaric place. Count again...over two billion....Indonesia as the most populous nation at over 200M and 90% muslim....growing at 25% rate in the North America. When do we bomb Jakarta? Al

Mindmeld, "There are 1.2 billion Muslims in the whole world, the majority of which live in the Middle East, which is a very violent and barbaric place." Check your numbers again. it might opens your eyes a little. More than 3 out of 4 muslims live outside of middle east. Muslims of indonesia and india (combined) itself outnumber muslims in middle east. here's a snapshot from 1996 of muslim population distribution. islam.about.com 'You can't tell me it's fringe when you look around the world and 95% of the flashpoints are Muslims fighting other groups of people." I noticed you keep bringing this 95% up. Do you realize, in th a past century, in about 95% of the 'killings' muslims had no role to play. So, why is this 'flashpoint' you keep refering to, more important than the actual deaths caused ? Bum.
