I don't think you're a fanatic, but we don't have to exterminate Islam. All Islam needs is a Reformation and a lot of Western influence.(Yes, I think we can Westernize the Muslims, look at the many American Muslims(not the useful idiots who get on TV) who are loyal Americans serving in the military and the police. I heard a caller to Rush say that he was Moslem and he welcomed profiling so he can feel safe. I'm all for exterminating Islamofascism, but not the extermination of Islam.(It's not necessary)

Without agreeing with 11B3 in the slightest, I have to take issue with your call for a "Reformation" of Islam. The Reformation was a call within Christendom to clean up corruption and return to Scripture as the foundation of Christianity, to return to the faith of the church Fathers.

In the context of Islam, what would this mean? A return to the much more highly engaged, much more aggressive wars of conquest, pillage and slaughter that Mohammed and his immediate descendants engaged in. No thank you. I much prefer the heretics of Islam, who pay more attention to their conscience, or at least to the possibility of retribution, than their religious dictates.
