Excellent post. Only because it is Barry Farber I will take him at his word and try and re-instate a little optimism in my heart regarding Muslims.

Maybe if the left would stop trying to co-opt them I could feel better about them.

"There's no one single "Islamic world." There are many. And far from all of them are against us."

Silence says many things.

Actions are better.

If it weren't for the occasional classically architectured mosque – left over from Turkish rule – in Albania you'd never guess Albania had any Moslem population at all.

The relavance here is a little tough to find, but that the Torah points to a jurisprudentional remedy to family problems (by its complexity likely rarely, if ever carried out in Jewish history), and the prevalence of honor killings which take place everyday throughout the Islamic world, endorsed by Islamic law.

Islamic (I-slam-it) Moslems (muzzle'ems) have a purpose.

There is a plan in action.

"Help me with an analogy here?"

A supposedly-Christian church with an explicitly, unapologetically, and active homosexual as a bishop?

As I sit here in my sheltered Western home, I marvel at the fact that I have NEVER met a Muslim who has attacked me in the streets.

If Muslims number over 1 billion, and massed together to rid the world of the Great Satan, nuclear war would be the result. So be it.

But, knowing that most of them live their lives without EVER harming a hair upon my head gives me reason to pause. I think I am as safe as I am ever going to be. LOL

Excellent analogies in the article. Thanks.

Yep, makes far more sense than condemning over a billion people. Besides, from what we've seen in Iraq, the people are really, really happy about the US coming to their aid.

"They drank, smoked and aspired to get out of that then-communist country – not to a Moslem theocracy but to America. History later gave them the name "Bosnian Moslems." Jihad? Forget about it!"

Hey, fuggetaboudit.
