"Just for purposes of furthering your comparison, which Jews beheaded contractors and reporters in the '30s?"
I'm not sure where culture ends and religion begins, but I'm pretty sure that there are millions of muslims that would never dream of such a thing. The trick is to know the difference....
I wish that I could agree with you, but after reading their holy books for myself, and also personal experience with one who pretended to be a good guy, I cannot, and will not. If they follow their religion at all, they cannot be our real friends.
The trick is to keep your head until you can discern the difference. The way things are going time of discerning will no longer be on our side. I trust NO Muslim.
