Thx. Very thoughtful response and well thought-out. I do not disagree with much of what you say and I certainly agree with the following...

That does not make every Muslim an enemy and it would be political suicide to declare they are.

Unfortunately, there are many muslims who want to moderate Islam, but they are being overpowered by the hardliners. And the powers in the world that keep saying that Islam is a religion of peace make it difficult for those who want to reform Islam.

I don't blame muslims at all. They can't help it. But the heart of Islam is the Prophet and he was not a nice fellow.

If a Christian sect (in violation of the teachings of Jesus) set out to terrorize the world and grew by bullying and violence, I as a Christian would speak out loudly and would demand that it be killed. But muslims around the world do not forcefully condemn terrorism and extremism because that would be apostasy.

Every mosque--everywhere--that speaks violence or supports it or ultimately says "terrorism is bad BUT" must be closed.

Islam in its virulent form must be eradicated, IMO. It is not people who are the enemy...it is a religion of death and destruction.

The Wahhabis are no different than any other ruthless gang, whether the Mafia, drug dealers, the Communists, Slick Willie, or anyone else willing to kill to impose their way. Unless one feels the opposite of them with equal fervor they remain quiet and try to stay out of the way of the violence. That empowers the thugs.

Yet, as we agree, you don't condemn everyone in the neighborhood because of who controls it.
