Yes my o-so-politically-correct-relativist friend, there are fanatics in every religion. However, no other religion on this planet is so actively supporting its fanatics in killing, forcibly converting and mutilating, and enslaving those who do not agree. For example in 19th C America, many Christians kept slaves. But Christian Abolitionists made them give it up. Where are your Muslim abolitionists? Why should we be forced to hunt for al-qaida murders? Why don't the "good" Muslims give them up? Where in our Bible does it say to slay and enslave non-believers, as it does in the Koran? Sure, Christians have committed many an atrocity in the name of religion. And those who committed them were stopped. Muslkims have not stopped for 1500 years.
I tell you what, nuconvert. When a lady cab driver takes me to an anti-slavery, anti-female circumcision, anti-suicide bombing meeting in the Church Hall of Our Lady of Riyadh RC Church, I shall tend to believe more of your pious protestations about the Religion of Peace. Yes, 80% of Muslims mean us no harm. But that's hardly a comforting thought, since that leaves 150,000,000 people who wish our destruction. You Muslims want to be mainstream? YOU stop the ones you claim are not.
Plenty of well-meaning Americans will always believe that Islam is just another religion, believing the entirely fatuous remarks of our C-in-C. I believe he is sayoing these ridiculous things to try and keep the "lid on" Americans' natural feelings. Let another atrocity take place on our shores and that "lid" is going to blow off. Right now, Muslims are being given a window of opportunity to "clean house" especially in America. Do it, or it will get done to you. If you don't want to straighten your religion up, take it, your Koran, and your demonic customs and leave the country.
