My take: The 9/11 terrorists followed the precepts of the koran, whereas 'peaceful' muslims do not.

And therein lies the rub. Most muslims can be categorized as 'peaceful' - but does that mean they are permanently apostate - or are they just lying dormant - awaiting their religious fervor to be rekindled at a later 'reawakening'?

And given the doctrine of 'taqkiya' (sp), where the koran/hadiths encourages its adherents to engage in deceit (vs. the Word of God - where God makes it clear that HE hates a liar), we can only treat assurances of peaceful intents with a grain of salt.

Like sitting in a church for 20 years and then finally coming out of the cocoon when in the right temperature room?
