Are these folks?

You're asking the wrong person.

Although many people would say baby coons and baby coyotes are cute, I still shoot them, knowing exactly what they are. It is due to their nature, the natural course their lives will follow if unchecked.

As for your use of the charity of an American soldier, I recognize that American soldiers have always been very softhearted to those in occupied countries, something that goes back well over a century. It's not a flaw but it is certainly not something that sways my opinions any more than it would sway opinions at Foggy Bottom or CFR or DIA/CIA or even the New York Times.

Your citing of "good" Muslims fails to account for the vast majority of these barbarians who are and will remain a danger to civilization, just as they have for the last thousand years.

Would you be posting that pic and defending those Muslims tomorrow afternoon if Iran nuked Tel Aviv tomorrow morning? Or if Muslim terrorists exploded a dirty bomb in LAX or at the Stock Exchange? Or if they just had a little school event like the Chechens did in Russia a while back?

I think not. You can have the Muslims and their quaint Religion Of Peace™. I will instead heed Churchill's sound and sombre warning about their fundamental and chronic condition:

"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property‹either as a child, a wife, or a concubine‹must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen; all know how to die; but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science‹the science against which it had vainly struggled‹the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome."

I'll take Churchill. You can have Achmed.
