i wonder too. at least about a person who condemns ALL for the EXCESSES & RADICAL acts of the FEW!
Sorry, I have to go with sandbar on not exonerating the silent followers of Islam who do not beligerently denounce the EXCESSES & RADICAL ACTS of the MANY! Also, my point about their dwelling on the hereafter was about how the obsession with it here on earth is way beyond being "mindful" of it, it's at the point of justifying horrific behavior..(Allah has called for it or says it's right to behead, subjugate, dismember, enslave, pick your verb)..or if not justifying such extremist behavior, at least reducing its malevolence to something tolerable.

The "people in the street" in too many in Islamic countries are literally enslaved by repressive governments. The ones who arouse my contempt are the ostensibly "free" nations of Europe who sympathize and rationalize, and that goes double for the UN and for all the leftist muddle-brains in this country who scream about women's rights, abortion and homosexuality and then support terrorist nations that subjugate women, use rape as a method of community control and a tool of war, and publicly deny homosexuality while tolerating its open practice by married men. Those mindless sympathizers are enablers of terror and oppression.
