All Muslims are NOT jihadists. However, all jihadists ARE Muslims, and since the jihadists are fellow Muslims, the non-jihadists have a problem with condemning the terrorism.
These Wahabe schools mentioned in the article teach nothing but the Koran and fanatical Islam and they get little boys at an early age and drum hate and jihad into them 24/7. When they become young adults, they are ready to go out and do anything for their cause, which is fighting, killing all non-Muslims.
Your immediate response (as it seems to me) is exactly what the author of this article/speech is talking about in govt. You have immediately gone on the defensive for Muslims, although Muslims, per se, are not being attacked here--only the extremists. As long as we the people and we, the people making up the govt. refuse to acknowledge that these hate schools and their supporters must be named and rooted out, we will continue to have terrorism.
I am not intolerant, except of people trying to kill me, mine, and our way of life. Arab men make up the terrorist population, and I am not willing to be strip-searched at airports while an Arab male goes unchecked ahead of me because it's the PC thing to do. We had a shot of reality in 911; do not let us forget it.

Well then, we agree. As per your 3rd para, it's not the Muslims, it's the extremists. Just as in Ireland, it's not the Catholics, or the Protestants...it's the extremists...it's that way with all terrorists that use religion as a weapon or rallying point.
