It is possible "the Muslims" are behind the terror campaigns of the
world. If so that will come out in time.
Until that does become clear I personally want to stay clear of that
kind of language. Folks, I learned long ago that fights are easy to start
but stopping one of those suckers can be the dickens. Consequently, I have
no intention of starting anymore wars than I can help.
Now, I do recognise that some "Muslim extremists" do intend us ill and
will probably have to be killed to be stopped. But that is not to lump all
Muslims into one boat. I have Muslim friends that do not to seem even
remotely to fit into that category of being extremist.
I also lurk on a Moslem site where this war and other subjects
unrelated to the conflict are discussed in great depth. From listening to
that site it seems obvious that as surely as there is on group that means us
no good there is another group that is quite happy to coexist. Some even
seem to prefer our "secular" ways. I have seen a few Moslem friends get very
upset at the Al Qaeda for simple selfish reasons. My friends are living the
life they prefer, they are making progress in that life and the Al Qaeda is
messing it up for everyone. They seem to regard the Al Qaeda as nuts.
