That is a personal choice, and all should be given the leeway to exercise that choice, but when they become agonistic, and try to force their beliefs down the throats of others, the line in the sand has been crossed. On this we completely agree and this is the main reason why I see any religion that preaches violence and hatred towards others as an evil threat to humanity. However, what I consider modern Islam (good muslims), as you yourself have stated, clearly do not condone foisting their religion on others via violent and secularly criminal means: but when 9/11 happened, there was a meeting shortly after the event, in which the good moslems made it clear that they did not condone the attack. withdrawn my business from quite a few stores, and other business ventures, but have, and alway will, make sure that they know why I am doing it. As I said before, we agree again. Explaining why you're withdrawing your business is key to using your personal economic power to adjust attitudes and that's something I completely condone. It's American as apple pie. All is calm around here, and there have been no incidents, except for a professor at USF was caught collecting donations, under the guise of advancing education, that were being sent to aid the Islamic Jihad. He is being tried in court as we speak. If he is found guilty I hope the punishment is harsh an swift. This is tantamount to treason in my book. BTW, while the BDS liberals are still stuck on WMDs, I've never thought of that as the main reason for us invading Iraq although it is still a valid pretext. The main reason why we're there and why we MUST be successful is to confront radical Islam and let it be known world wide that those participating in so called jihads (although that's a misnomer in my book) will be dealt with harshly by the US. Bush can't state that publicly because he'd be crucified by MSM and the (head in the sand) liberals would attack in force.
