"It is thinking like yours that plays into the hands of our enemy, militant Islamic fundamentalism. They want to make this into a religious war rather than against their narrow radical movement, which is a fringe group that is very small in numbers."

If you really believe that this is not a religious war (if you can call islam a religion), you need to open your eyes. Islam has been at war with infidels, the rest of the world, since the cult was founded. Muslims are now at war on every continent except Antarctica (and they might be there too but I don't know that). From Europe to Africa, from China to South America, from India to the Philippines, from Bali to the Middle East, all over the world jihadists are on a murderous march.

There is no possibility of winning a war if you don't recognize who your enemy is. It might be scary to some people that our enemy could number in the hundreds of millions, but that does not change the facts.

Muslims were not a real concern to us before they got enough oil wealth to fund their jihads. Now, however, they have the wealth to buy the technology that can threaten our very existence. Those who believe, against all factual evidence, that our enemy is " a fringe group that is very small in numbers", put all of us in peril.

The Islamofascists, as Bush just called them, aka the militant Islamic fundamententalists, are trying to make it into a religious war by radicalizing the vast majority of Mudslims, who don't hold their views. We are not at war with Islam.

I don't buy your premise that we are at war with Islam and its one billion plus adherents.

Typical response, long on generalizations and short on specifics. Is that why you did not respond to my questions, i.e.

Would you advocate closing our military facilities in Turkey, banning all arms sales to them, and calling for their removal from NATO?

There are 4 to 6 million American muslims in this country. How do you propose to deal with these "enemies?" What should be done with their Mosques and the practice of their religion?
