To: null and void; ScarTissue
I have been diligently searching for møøselimbs that don't either actively or tacitly support terrorism ever since.

I have found a few. Very few.

Before Sept. 11th, and shortly after, I worked with a Muslim who was (and probably still is) one of the nicest people I've ever met. However, I've had a similar experience as you, null and void. Since that horrible day, I wanted to believe that MOST Muslims are like my former co-worker. I've searched in vain for a large group of Muslims that would roundly condemn 9/11, and not give some "excuse" for it.

What I've found through my own search of their religion is that the co-worker I had over 3 years ago is probably the EXCEPTION, not the rule, to what a Muslim man is like. Indeed, I now see letting one person form my opinion of 1.2 billion others was quite wrong, but not for the reaons you think, ScarTissue.

Yeah. I want to believe they are all wonderful people too.

It was nice believing in Santa Claus the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny too. While it lasted...

I'm currently working with one like that. I sure wish he was the rule, not the exception...

I was a work gathering about a year after 9/11. A mooslim co-worker (born in Pakistan) had imbibed a little bit too much of the fruit of the vine. He came up to me at the party and said, "I'm not drunk, mooslims don't drink." It sent a chill down my spine. He's morphed into American culture (so he thinks) but I still think the jihad spirit dwells within.
