It's what been said for months now...islam has nothing to do with religion. The religious part is a sham, a masquerade and the sooner it is realized the better. I am tired of hearing about a shadow enemy, there is no shadow that can't be brought into the light of day. The only shadow we wrestle with is the understanding that a theocracy is NOT a religion, but a form of government. Islam is the greatest deception the world has ever seen.
This is a very slippery slope. Once freedom of the press is curtailed democracy is in real danger.
People don't blow tghemselves up for politics. They do it because they believe they will be rewarded in the after life.
Multi millionaire Osama bin Laden didn't risk his life and fortune for politics.
The 19 hijackers who were educated, and well off financially, and had plenty of time to back out of the attack didn't kill themselves for politics.
When they die they die saying Allah Akbar. God is great.
It is a religious problem we are faced with. - tom

Darkness has NO power source...it can only operate in the absence of LIGHT.
LIGHT has many sources - the sun, electricity, even a candle or a match - and dare I day: GOD. - They can all drive the shadows back into the corners of society - like the guilty things they are...and they have no power to move on their own.
Such has life on earth always been - a struggle between the LIGHT and the dark.
But we must turn on the LIGHT - rather than cowering under our beds lest we "offend" someone by DEfending our own beliefs, our own way of life - even our very lives.
It is really that simply complicated.
We should've printed and reprinted and plastered the Danish cartoons around the globe - they were not "offensive" - and were printed 6 months before the rage and riots. They were merely an excuse for the barbarians to test our resolve - "our" as in the non-muslim world. We failed - we capitulated - we appeased - we tucked our tails under and apologized. And the next week, the mosque was bombed. We gave them power. (I made a large Danish Flag and nailed in my front yard. We had better learn to stand together...for we have a common, and deadly enemy.)
We have been slowly conditioned in the name of "political correctness" - which may be one of the most powerful and deadly weapons of all time.
Get your flashlights out......'Let there be LIGHT,
("We stand together, or we fall apart." M.T.)
