>> Their religion is very warlike and backwards. It needs to be modernized to favor peace and tolerance and women's rights over what the medieval attitudes it favors today.

I don't know how you do that when simply viewing a picture of the "prophet" causes violence followed by the entire world cowering. These people need to get used to the fact that their god, their prophet are no better than the next guys. And that there is no heaven, at least for those kill innocents.

They need to be desensitized to the notion that their religion is OUR religion. We don't tolerate proselytizing from anyone else, why should we tolerate it from Muslims? Particularly, when they use violence to insist upon it.

I don't agree with you MM. There are 1.2 BILLION Muslims in the world, and were they all at war with the US, we'd be in real trouble. It's an extremist minority that is at war with us. We just nation-built a Muslim country, Iraq.

What we need to do is enlist the rest of the Muslims into cleaning their own house. They need to launch a jihad against their own extremists.
