"until "mainstream" Islam can bring itself to stop rationalizing terrorist attacks and start repudiating and purging people...."

I heard Feinstein on some news show this morning (some Republican was there too). They both are on some defense committee or something. Please don't kick me off of FR, but I was REALLY liking what Feinstein was saying. She said she hasn't heard of one major immam condemning 9/11 or the other bombings. She said she wants to see all the immams condeming the terrorist activities, issuing Fatwahs against the terrorists - she said "they need to be rooted out from the mosques, just like the Catholic church will excommunicate someone". I guess what she was saying wasn't anything new. I WAS surprised by who was saying it.

She also was nodding her head in agreement with the republican when he answered the charge that the Iraq war was causing more terrorism. He brought up the first WTC bombing, the Khobar towers, the Cole, etc., and Feinstein was nodding her approval. She added to it saying "they use the Gulf war as an excuse, poverty, etc. But those are just excuses to cover there terrorism."

Anyway - if Feinstein is talking and thinking like this, then maybe there's hope. (There is only one women named Feinstein - right?!)

Maybe she was off her meds. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

I think you misunderstand the attitude at FR.
Some statements make sense and follow from the reality around us and some don't regardless of who makes them.

Stupid is also stupid regardless of who makes the statement.

Most Freepers can tell the difference; partisan hack talking points is a sure poison in the well of ideas. That's it.
