Mindmeld,
The fact is that most Muslims may not be terrorist, but a majority of Muslims SYMPATHIZE with terrorists
I really don't believe that, either. Unless of course, you count "sympathy" the same way many conservatives accuse Obama of "sympathizing" with terrorists, but then you can pretty much lump the entire Democratic Party into that camp.

The truth is that there is a wide variety of Muslims out there. Indonesia, for example, is perhaps the most populous Muslim country out there, but it's hard to say that a significant percentage of Islamic terrorists are Indonesian.

Do most Indonesian Muslims "sympathize" with the terrorists? Maybe, maybe not, but they clearly aren't being radicalized at the same rate as Arabs. (The actual numbers are significant, but only because of Indonesia's high population, where small percentages still represent huge numbers.) And Sharia law is widely practiced in Indonesia, though it varies by region.

I for one don't want to wage a war against all of Islam. Clearly it's not a religion of peace, but we don't have to portray it as a religion of war in order to fight for what's right.

At least not yet.
