Luis, another words, you have utterly marred judgement. I'm sure you've had this argument ad nauseum on this forum, but the behavior at the Beslam school is hardly an aberration in Muslim world.

This is similar to what is wrong with the Europeans. By not being able to psychologically reconcile themselves to the unpleasant truths of Islam they lash out and blame Israel and the US.

If you cannot get it together--still--on this basic, defining point, you're lost and all your assumptions formed
without this understanding are denial-of-reality intellectual failings.

The Russians no more need a terrorist state in their midst than do the Isrealis. We need to let them do whatever they deem fit no matter how heavy-handed it may seem by our standards.

"I'm sure you've had this argument ad nauseum on this forum, but the behavior at the Beslam school is hardly an aberration in Muslim world."

One billion Muslims in the world, eighty percent of them living outside of the Middle East. Even if the entire Muslim population of the Middle East behaved as these guys did, which they do not, their behavior would still be an aberration in the Muslim world.

The six nations in the world with the highest number of Muslims are (in sequence): Indonesia (Republic), Pakistan (federal republic), India (federal republic), Bangladesh (parliamentary democracy), Turkey (republican parliamentary democracy), and Egypt (republic)...all fairly stable nations. The last four nations making up the top ten nations in the world in Muslim population are Iran (theocratic republic), Nigeria (republic transitioning from military to civilian rule), Ethiopia (federal republic, oldest independent country in Africa, and one of the oldest in the world - at least 2,000 years), and Morocco (constitutional monarchy).

The "Muslim world" isn't Syria, and Chechnya, and Sudan...they're the aberrations giving the rest of the Muslims a bad name.
