Allen....."I did say "statement LIKE ...". I should have specified that I wasn't quoting you directly. Your actual line "defending radical Islam" is even more of an inflammatory statement, and I don't think it's supported by the facts. Do you not distinguish between Islam in general and radical Islam?"..... It is possible to defend radical islam unintentionally just as it is to support unintentionally and IMO that is what occurred. ....."Do you not distinguish between Islam in general and radical Islam?"..... Always...If you were to look back at posts of mine over the last 5 years or so you would see where I made an effort to do just that so that it would be perfectly clear to anyone that I believe there is a difference. That being said and since the cartoon riots and killing I now believe there are many millions more radical islamics that I first thought. I use to always separate radical islam which in my mind included islamic terrorists from moderate islam. But like I have indicated my thinking had to change when I witnessed what appeared to me to be millions upon millions of muslims rioting and killing all over the world in many different countries over some silly cartoons so now I use the terms islamic terrorists, radical islam and moderate islam and I am beginning to think there are many more radical types than moderate types and thats scary. I seldom get a chance anymore to use the term " moderate " because moderate islam is seldom heard from even when their religion is used is used as a reason to commit murder.
