Is this racial profiling? Remember the Unabomber? Or many other caucasian terrorists and bombers.


How do you see this situation?
So who's the greatest threat to the world right now? Thousands upon thousands of radical Islamic terroists who's goal is to wipe us all off the map. Or a lone white guys like the unibomber? or some random nut who might bomb an abortion clinic? please tell me you're not trying to compare the two?

With the way some of you are thinking I'm starting to believe I'll see Muslims rounded up like the Japanese back in WW2.

We have been there and done that already.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On a daily basis how many young muslims are being taught about the enemy and how it is their holy duty to destroy them every chance they get.... along with their religious studies, recess and snack time.

I don`t know.... but I`m guessing its well over a million world wide.

I liked Backbeach Jakes post.... no matter how you shake it its a tough row to hoe.

Good health and family

It's a good question, but a guess doesn't really help us much now does it?

I do think you're striking a big thread of misunderstanding about Islam, the concept of Jihad and it's violent incarnations throughout history.

This isn't to say that there isn't a lot of hate and blame taught, but then again we do have Pat Robertson and Jerry Fallwell

As I've been saying, the problem we're facing isn't rooted in Islam proper, but a political expression of Islam that's evolved in our world...not born from the Koran.

Kids in madrassas (sp?) aren't taught hate because the Koran says to...it's because their political leadership wants to control them.

Or think of it this way...

Do you think a Palestenian straps bombs to themselves and walks into a crowded cafe because of:

A) Devotion to the Koran

or

B) Rage, humiliation and despair

B.

And I`m only talking about the radical training....not all Muslims.

Second question...

If Osama showed up at your doorstep, do you think he'd try to kill your family because you're all infidels?
