yet americans have travelled safely for many decades in Turkey, Egypt, Syria, Morocco, Pakistan, Tunisia, and many other muslim countries. Before the new strain of anti-west terrorist islam was widespread.

Consider Jordan helped us track down Zarquawi and is training iraqi security forces as we speak. They also have been hanging homegrown terrorists with efficiency.

The UAE has had boots on the ground in Afghanistan for years now, with more proposed to come.

Pakistan has arrested and killed thousands of AQ and taliban types and has been instrumental in uncovering many terrorist plots.

Kuwait and Qatar allowed us basing to invade Iraq.

Morrocco has been fighting AQ with more ferocity than most european countries.

Even Yemen has been quietly helping the US in the WOT.

Vilifying all islamic countries is not in our interest. The VOLUNTEER muslim soldiers in Iraq fighting side by side with our troops are not the ememy. Period.

Vilifying all islamic countries is not in our interest.

They have vilified themselves. They degrade themselves with their false barracks religion.

While it may be useful to assess the level of danger they pose to civilization, they can never be trusted as long as they live under sharia or tolerate radical clerics.

Islam is not a religion. It's a totalitarian system much as Communism was. Any other view is wild-eyed optimism.

OTOH, I have no problem with Arabic Christians or non-Muslim Arabs. Well, the few that manage to survive their proximity to actual Islam, as opposed to the sweetly tolerant Islam you imagine.
