Thanks for the clarification. Humor can be a delicate science. I've had to apologize in the past for not putting a "(sarcasm)" at the end of my sarcasm.

I've worked with Muslims and the younger adults are more open to sharing opinions than the older folks. Most of the the youths I met didn't give a squat about pan-Islamic politics (in other words, they didn't hate Israel or Jews). But these were well traveled guys who knew the difference between hype and reality. They didn't base their opinion on information from the MSM.

What I think will draw fanatical forces away from Muslim nations is the call to Jihad in Iraq. While foreign fighters comprise a portion of the chaos in Iraq, it's strength that isn't recruiting from the rest of the Muslim world. Coalition troops won't have to move out of Iraq since Jihadist with the romantic idea of martyrdom will travel to the Coalition forces. We may always have casualties, but Iraq's own police will perfect their methods of finding and capturing such foreign fanatical fighters. It may even draw Palestinian "freedom" fighters (terrorists and criminals) out of Israel giving Israel/Palestine the opportunity to finalize their peace process.

Good post,
but these points, proven by the fact that IEDs are NOT being set off by the millions of Muslims in the US, are lost on those who seek to create problems.

"...But these were well traveled guys who knew the difference between hype and reality. They didn't base their opinion on information from the MSM."

It's a shame that so many here seem to base their opinions on the hype.
