Yer Mamma wears combat boots! :p

In all due seriousness, a discussion of THAT aspect of things requires far more energy and thought that I'm willing to lend to the debate at the moment. You're welcome to start a whole new thread on that issue, though, and I'll most likely respond to it!

Allow me to clarify...

I don't think that all muslims are terrorists, just like I don't think that all Irish Catholics are IRA, or South Americans are a part of the drug cartel. What I was trying to state is that the majority of violent acts around the world right now are headed by people embracing islam. We see violence in Iraq, Palastine, Isreal with rock throwing, bombs, RPG, etc. What we don't see, and this is one part I agree with mrnoodle, is the tens of thousands of muslims marching in the streets to take back the good name of islam. What we don't see is people ratting out their neigbors because they are busy making car bombs in the garage. What we don't see is a very loud voice of the muslim imams denouncing the violence. This to us in the U.S. paints a very grim picture of islam. It's all we have to go on. I will restate for the record though, this so called "war on terrorism" is not a winable one if we follow the road we are traveling right now. It has to be a change of mind-set among all muslims. Violence will do nothing but insight more attacks.
