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.

Good health and family

Second question...

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

That's yet another part of this equation. Osama would not show up at my house, he would send some poor,uneducated rube from the impoverished "sticks" to do his dirty work for him. That seems to be the pattern with these Islamic "leaders", keep your people in the dark, tell them that it's America screwing them and that they have nothing to live for. Give them a vest bomb and send them off.
And yes I do absolutely believe that radical Islam is trying to destroy civilisation as we know it. Islam was not even 50 years old when it's armies burnt Alexandria. That was the Dark in the Dark Ages. What better way to destroy a culture, than to destroy it's "database"?
I do agree that Islam is in a Holy Civil War and both sides are using non-Islamic cultures as the scapegoat.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

Well, on 9/11 they sent some pretty well educated "rubes" to do their dirty work.

On that I'd somewhat agree.

Certainly the Islamic leadership has done a pathetic job in many countries, and combined with other exacerbating issues you have an explosive cocktail.

But remember that we're not seeing to many Islamic terrorists from Jordan, India, Turkey etc... who all have large Islamic populations...

Why is this?
