Hi Crail
I think the problem that exists is one of perception. The Daily Mail in the UK sent a journalist to the Town where the suicide bombers came from in Birmingham. They where horrified to find a ghetto that was practically another country, with huge anti British attitudes and a belief that England was to blame for their poverty.
The Muslim community made speeches about their unity with the British public and that they would march against terrorism in London. To date these empty promises have yielded no march or even a single demonstration in the UK.
This to me says it all....
A community in London tells you everything you need to know about an entire religion?!? And an whole country that stands in stark contrast to this community in London you mention, and has a long history of doing so, doesn't convince you to think, "Hey, maybe if there is an entire country of Muslims that
is the only place in the world, along with it's little UN supervised neighbour that thinks the Iraq war made the world safer, then maybe I'll be a little more careful when I or someone on FR paints a committed ally as an enemy."
Fact is, most FR Iraq war supporters, and some on this thread, who scream "No good Muslims, Kill them all," are woefully uninformed that there one of the staunchest allies of the Iraq war, with troops commited from day one, is a predominantly Muslim country, or worse yet, don't care, would have them dead anyways for being an "enemy religion." It is unacceptable for an Iraq war supporter to not know who's there fighting. I'd like to see that change. Then I'd know the people still screaming "They're
all terrorists" are simply bigots misrepresenting the facts, rather than members of an uninformed mass.
