I read the Koran a long time ago as part of a comparative religions course. The Koran, like the Old Testament, has some strong language and violent prescriptions concerning what to do with non-believers...

Yeah, convert or kill.

There have been plenty examples of Muslim groups and governments decrying the violence and terrorist tactics.

If there are, they're keeping it a great secret. Give me some examples.

How about the Muslim demonstration in Washington D.C. that drew about 200 demonstrators? WOW! That's really making a bolt nationwide statement!

Are you implying that we should cease all diplomatic relations and other dealings with governments that do not recognize Israel?

No. I'm not implying anything of the sort. But, any government that has the position of wanting Israel eliminated has too much in common with the terrorists. And, we should regard them differently as we regard Norway or Spain and Slovakia.

Muslims against terrorism and extremism

Muslims against Terrorism

For the record, the inhuman attacks of September 11 werecondemned in the strongest terms by virtually all Islamic leaders, organizations, and countries. TheGrand Mufti of Saudi Arabia summarized that, "...hijacking planes, terrorizing innocent people and shedding blood, constitute a form of injustice that cannot be tolerated by Islam, which views them as gross crimes and sinful acts." Muslim Condemnations of 9/11 Muslim leaders speak out against violence and terrorism

TERRORISM THREAT TO ALL CIVILIZED COUNTRIES, ANATHEMA TO ALL FAITHS, SAYS SECRETARY-GENERAL IN MESSAGE TO RIYADH COUNTER-TERRORISM CONFERENCE

Prominent American Muslims denounce terror committed in the name of Islam

Code Pink can assemble more people to demonstrate against our wounded soldiers than FR can muster to counteract them. The same holds true for the antiwar movement. The Left can mobilize more people in the streets for their causes, which doesn't mean that they represent the majority.

No. I'm not implying anything of the sort. But, any government that has the position of wanting Israel eliminated has too much in common with the terrorists. And, we should regard them differently as we regard Norway or Spain and Slovakia.

The UAE doesn't recognize Israel but has not stated that it is the official government position to have Israel "eliminated." We don't have diplomatic relations with Cuba, North Korea, and Iran, but we don't want these countries eliminated.

Most European countries have more sympathy towards the Palestinians than the Israelis. That includes the UK.
