But other than Turkey, and American controlled Iraq, can you tell me honestly where there are peaceful Muslims who arent killing someone based on religion and not just on personal behaviour?

Jordan, Kuwait, the UAE, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, Lebanon. And on and on.

They're not all evil. No matter what country. The two worst as far as the leadership indoctrinating their citizens to the evil side are Saudi Arabia and Iran. And there are evil ones in every country, including our own.

Their "religion" is screwed up big time. But you'd be surprised as to how many who are born Muslim don't buy into that crap. Most do not attend the mosques, most live relatively secular lives and most despise the terrorists as much as we do.

Jordan, Kuwait, the UAE, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, Lebanon. And on and on.

Nov. 9,2005 Amman, Jordan: Suicide bombers hit 3 American hotels, Radisson, Grand Hyatt, and Days Inn, in Amman, Jordan, killing 57.

January 21, 2003: The killing of one American and wounding of another in an attack near Camp Doha, the main U.S. army base in Kuwait, was the third such incident since October.

March 22, 2005: Qatar: The first suicide car bombing in this Persian Gulf state killed two, including a British man, wounded 15 others...Western embassies have said that the threat from terrorism here is high.

April, 2003: The U.S. State Department has authorized the departure of non-emergency personnel and their families because of credible threats of attacks on U.S. and Western interests in Bahrain, while the head of the U.S. Central Command, citing similar threats, ordered 650 U.S. military dependents to leave.

And on and on...

It doesn't matter how many "peaceful" people exist within a given culture if they're unwilling or unable to stand up to those within their group who choose to embark on violence. As a practical matter, they may as well not exist at all.
