Best I can tell, he thinks that Muslims are a kindly group of people who wouldn't harm anyone especially someone who is trying to get their message out. It must have been a mistake! If they would just send me a note telling me how sorry they are, then my world would be OK! These poor misunderstood people would play right and behave if only the terrible policies of the US were changed. Yep, Islam is the religion of peace, can't everyone see that?

The problem with simplifying difficult problems is that it sounds good and makes you feel good. Most muslims in the world are not terrorists or bad people. The problem with Islam is that it is more conducive to producing the nutters in this day and age.

You talk as if all muslims can be classed as the same and are an enemy to America, of-course except for the new free Iraqi and Afghani muslims who even though they are exactly the same religion as before are lauded as friends of America.

For if muslims are a priori bad, why free Iraq and Afghanistan?

As for sarcastically decrying the thought that Islam is a religion of peace and why can't others see that, then why not condemn President Bush who said openly:

"Islam is Peace!"

I don't remember Frank Gardner saying that, but if he did say what your President said you would condemn him. Do you condemn Mr Bush?

GROAN! What a drama queen.
