I agree with you, further, if these terrorists keep up their attacks in the western nations and significant lives are lost I bet down the road the Western Nations will unite and send all Muslims back to their countries of origin and then wall off those countries from the rest of the world. No way will civilization go on forever accepting large number of civilian casualties. jdn

Do they even know about the radicals? The majority of Muslims in the ME are illiterate.
They get their "news" at the mosques.

Even the Palestinians are getting tired of the killing.

Democracy is not a Western ideal. It is a right to pursue free will. That includes God, human rights, and other civil liberties that we defend in the Constitution. Muslim tradition tries to "defend" itself against modernization through brutal traditions. Read the daily fatwas on islamonline.net. The whole society is balanced towards peace, as long as you don't attack their tradition. They manipulate their persecution to boost themselves further up the pedestal so they can blame Westerners when the lunatic fringe of their society attack innocent people in subways and buses. They conveniently suggest that we had it coming because they do not agree with our place in society. They blow up the minority groups in their own society with whom the do not approve. They coerce the Shi'a to blame Westerners for the attacks. They kill the Shi'a that cooperate with Westerners and execute the police trying to maintain order.
