A key element of true conservatism is individualism. And when a Christian or Jew does something evil, it's accepted that that individual is evil. But whenever any Muslim anywhere commits evil, all the idiots crawl out of the woodwork with their knee-jerk "religion of peace" pings, as though the acts of an individual Muslim condemns hundreds of millions (a billion?) worldwide.
It's sickening how conservatism has been corrupted and dummied-down these past few years. 15 years ago, conservatism used to be mostly rational, civil, intelligent. 9/11 did not "change everything," but it certainly did much to change to character of conservatism.
Bush, at least, claims we are not at war with Islam. But you wouldn't know it from all his Muslim-bashing "conservative" supporters (who trash the very essence of a rational, individualist conservatism).
