There are two possibilities:

1) You are wrong: Then we are not at war with Islam, we are only at war with
     a small group of murderous thugs that are doing everything they can think
     of to see us dead.

2) You are right: Then we are at war with a large group of murderous thugs that
     are doing everything they can think of to see us dead.

Regardless of which turns out to be true I can't for the life of me (and I mean that literally)
see how it should effect our conduct of the war in Afghanistan.
