Do you think the President should condemn Catholicism because 99.9% of the IRA members are Catholic?

Do you?

That is irrational, nonsensical, a non-sequitur and baffling.

Catholics are not blowing up skyscrapers in the US.
Blowing up schoolbuses in Israel.
Blowing up airliners full of people over Scotland.
Massacreing non muslims in East Timor...

Most rational people can make the connection.
So long as the sandmaggots limit their criminal savage primitive behavior at home among themsleves, I couldn't care less.

Well, Publius, if you lived in Northern Ireland, the Catholics of the IRA were indeed killing innocent people. That is my point.

Most Catholics don't do this kind of terorism. Most Muslims don't, either.

On the other hand, there are Muslims who secretly cheer when this stuff happens. I don't like that at all.

But then I don't like all the donations American Catholics were giving to the IRA, either.

I don't care what people think, as long as they don't do anything. I am not naive, and I don't trust a Muslim too much anymore, since I can't tell which are sympathizers and which are bystanders. This does not mean I want to attack them all, however.

There is no doubt that the Muslim community needs tobe more outspoken against terrorism. However, I know they receive threats from the nutcases whenever they do speak out, so I appreciate the President encouraging them in his speeches.

I don't think attacking them is going to make any progress, but would rather drive the moderates into the radical camp. You might disagree, but that is what I think.
