Not all Islamic passages are at fault. Nor are all Muslims guilty.

As I've repeatedly said, this is my main point, and on it we appear to agree. Where we appear to disagree, is on your desire to still label the entire muslim faith as evil, which by extension labels all muslims as guilty of the same evil, in contrast to what you just said above. It's no different than if someone wants to label all Christians as evil, based on the blatant and unapologetic sins of some Mormons, or based on the Catholic Priests who sexually abused minors, for example. Blame those who are guilty, but not every single Christian, based solely on mere association, that is often actually very distant.

As a practical matter, stop importing Muslims to the west. Make sure you are not indirectly subsidizing terror. That is harder than it sounds. Deport clerics that radicalize. Stop pretending that all religions are basically the same, equally peaceful. There are many practical acts that are far short of war.

I mostly agree with this, and said on this thread before our exchange that even though the entire Islamic religion shouldn't be condemned in every circumstance for the actions of a few, that it still may make good sense for the government to penalize that religion in response, in certain situations, if the risk to Americans warrant it. For example, we should without question BAN muslims originating from Iran. That does not however, mean that every single muslim originating from Saudi Arabia or Jordan should be denied access to America. Those countries are our allies, not enemies. At least at this point, and it's in our interest to keep it that way.

“Blame those who are guilty”

I have already blamed Mohammed.
