There history may be, but I know at least a dozen muslims who deplore the fundamentalists in their midst, and say so as loudly as possible. At their own peril, I might add.
The problem is that this doesn't sell in the liberal media. The media want the crazies, the blood, the terror, and with America to blame (at least conservative America). There ARE millions of moderate muslims, and very few of the crazies, but you'd never know it by reading old media.
The islamic thing is beyond a dozen guys you know...if you ask victims of Muslims, they will tell you in no uncertain terms: do not believe a word muslims say. That's good advice for you too.
