Perhaps you should address your questions to the gentleman I saw interviewed on Fox News Channel yesterday.

You see, he is a Muslim...an ACTIVE, practicing Muslim who immigrated to this country.

He is also a survivor of the WTC.

He is also the father of a son who is currently in Kuwait.

His son is a United States Marine.

His son has BEEN a United States Marine for the past 18 years.

Radical practioners of MANY religions have bastardized their religions in an attempt to further their own causes throughtout history. And as such, have been identified as the terrorists they became.

This should, in no way, cause the defenders of the United States and its' Consitution to engage in emotional, broad-brush condemnation of others who practice that religion.

Well, I am not condeming anyone, sir. I am criticizing a religion, the defining documents of which are violent and hateful to women and every other religion. Islam, by definition of its docments, is a cult of misoginy, oppression, deception and violent conquest.

And don't even start by comparing it to the isolated and universally condemned incidents of violence committed by practitioners of every other religion. Sure the OT called for the particular wars of particular people in particular instances, but those are a far cry from the Koran's call for blanket oppression and slaughter of all non-muslims.

When ONE Jewish terrorist did his evil deed, he was UNIVERSALLY condemned by Jews the world over. When the Sons of Islam slaughter unarmed (non-muslim) men, women and children, the vast majority of Muslims laugh, dance in the streets and throw high fives. Does that seem like a difference of spirit to you?

Moral relativism is every bit as evil as it is cowardly and stupid. I'm not accusing you of it, just warning you against it.
