Neither do I, nor do I believe that all Muslims are terrorist. However, almost all terrorist are Muslims, and the terrorist are losing ground and losing face with the (for lack of a better word) "real" Muslims. I believe that most Muslims want to be part of the 21st century, and actually be part of the "world community", and not some antiquated 7th century cult. There is a small minority that perpetrates the terrorism, (just like outlaw bikers) and they are making ALL Muslims look bad. Sooner or later, the zealots will be eliminated (and they need to be), not only by our hand, but by their Muslims "brothers".
May God bless you as he has blessed us all.
That shoud read: "May God bless you as He has blessed us all." Coffee hasn't kicked in yet....
Those we call terrorists are Muslim, i.e. those hitting us. But in Africa, Ireland and other places they are not Muslims. We might call other terrorists freedom fighters or rebels sometimes, depending on if we like their target or not.

I agree. The IRA lost popularity after they got sloppy and started targeting civilians, creating innocent martyrs. Moderate Muslims will see the light, and deal with terrorism themselves, as long as they don't believe we are the enemy or that we covet their oil fields. I do think bin Laden wants to overthrow the Saudi royal family so he can hi-jack the resources, and the people should know that. We have our "cover stories" for war, which I don't believe, but what about bl? I don't think he's in it for patriotism.
