More and more, since 9/11, I am coming to believe that the only good muslim is one that has already gone to meet his maker. .... freeangel

No, it does not.

Are these men, our Iraqi allies in our fight against Islamist religious fanatics "good" only when they have "already gone to meet their maker"?

All religions, including Christianity, have the seeds in them to allow fanatics to indulge in murders and massacres in the name of their religion.

Every religion has the capacity to be "civilized" by separating the extremists from the fold. The secular Republic of Turkey, for example, has been keeping Islamists at bay since great-Grandma was doing the Charleston in the 1920's and since America did not know an Islamist from a French Poodle.

We are now at war with people who divide other people by religion and then decide if that merits their death or not. The attitude that "the only good Muslim is a dead Muslim" is nothing but the flip side of that religious fanaticism coin.

If you want to eliminate every "Muslim" in the World, you are doomed to failure as you will never succeed in the elimination of 1.6 Billion people.

If you want to eliminate every violent "Islamist fanatic" in the World, that is a much more rational and achievable goal.

Anybody who thinks this needs to read some books like Three cups of Tea, or (for the women) Kabul Beauty School. I think most just want to be left in peace. When you have a small percentage of a huge group who are radicals..it is still a lot of radicals.
