"Islam means peace" line is a greater danger to the country than someone barking "nuke mecca" just to yank some oversensitive chains.

Sabes, you seem to be taking the president's use of the phrase "Islam means peace" quite literally. Yet, you seem to offer the nonliteral translation for "nuke mecca" crowd -- offering provisos.

IMO, a president who says "Islam is peace" as he simulataously goes around the globe fighting radical Islam, does not mean to misrepresent the current state of Islam.

I believe the presidents intentions are to destroy radical Islam and to promote a reformed Islam.

IMO, a person who goes around barking "nuke mecca" is more dangerous than somebody who goes around saying "Islam means peace" as he simultaneouly attempts to physically remove the radical Islamists from this planet.

I think he would agree. I don't, because I am of the opinion that if it is reformed to the point where it is genuinely peaceful, it will no longer be Islam. The Koran is a bloody, delusional screed, written by Mohammed to justify his conquests.
