There you go, with that nuanced thinking.

More dangerous here (in Cal), are gangs of black youths- who are now just killing for fun. We had an off duty paramedic shot in Oakland recently- no reason at all. The number of murders in Oakland and Richmond is staggering. I don't think too many folks are calling for the deaths of all blacks (at least I certainly hope they aren't.) Seems to me, we need to offer young violent men something to do, other than kill people for excitement or "causes" they don't really understand, and which are simply excuses for the violence. You don't see a lot of 60 years olds doing this- it's always younger people. We need to give them something else to be excited about.

The "war" isn't between Islam and the West. The war is between crazy people who lack a conscience and a sense of humanity and who would rather feed their ego by killing or maiming other people rather than try to build something decent and live sustainably.

Very well said. A five star recommendation.
