"Apparently the fact that it is the largest religion numerically, and that mamny of our allies in the war are Muslim nations is not to be considered. I am thankful these people are not in charge of foreign policy.LoL, nothing like having an Ally that would kill you as soon as the threat of force was removed. There are no True Muslim Allies, unless of course you are talking about the Muslim countries that are controlled by their own military so Islam does not take hold.

Can you really claim that there are no Muslim allies at all? Let's take the largest predominantly Muslim nation in the world for example.
Why has Indonesia captured more suspected terrorists than any other nation? Why did Indonesia refute Communism so harshly as to execute thousands of them in the 60's? Why do so many Indonesians wish to learn the English language? Why did Indonesia welcome UN troops to their nation when America requested that they get help in ending their violence in East Timor? Okay, so Indonesia questions our involvement in Iraq, but the mere questioning does not imply that they are no longer American allies.
We don't have an acid test to show which nations are allies, and which are not, but let's be real.
