I'm hoping the muslims themselves still have a shred of humanity, enough to see how the salafist clerics are driving the radicals to kill their own people. The best thing for us would be if islam cleans out its own nest. They have killed each other before in huge numbers, here's an example from Jordan not all that long ago:

The bridegroom was on TV last night, he lost his father and new father-in-law. THIS IS NOT ISLAM is what he said through his tears.
Oh yes it is, I called back at the screen.
Did they care when the towers came down? Did they care when the children of Beslan were murdered? Did they care when the Bali bomb went off killing several hundred? The Madrid train bombs, the bombing in London?
Oh what a tragedy is it when muslims kill muslims...sarc.
Actually, no. The dead muslims have been martyred in the eyes of Islam. These attacks are permitted because they aid in the spread of true Islam.
I wish Condi and the Prez could be diplomatic without telling bald-faced lies.
“Today, the world saw with horror the attacks on innocent people in Jordan by killers who defile a >>>>>great religion<<<<<<,” Bush said.

This is the basic problem. The people in that part of the world have approved of terrorism for so long because of the Palestinian conflict that ... well, those who live by the sword die by the sword.
