People who blame every follower of a religion for the actions of a few are misguided.

#164: "People who blame every follower of a religion for the actions of a few are misguided."

In like manner one would be misguided if he/she blamed *every follower* of a political party for the actions of a few.

For instance, there are three catagories of mentalities that make up *the base* of the DemocRAT party:

[1] Cynical opportunists
[2] Useful idiots (FROGS/Sheeple)
[3] Garden variety opportunistic useful idiots

Of course some useful idiots are willingly ignorant and uninformed, and others have a legitimate use for being that way.

Emotional immaturity will ALWAYS be a fact of life.

It becomes a major problem, though, when adults don't evidence much progress in growing out of it.

I will be happy when the great mass of moslems rise up and destroy the influence of that few who are killing across the world i.e. those few in Sudan, Somolia, Algeria, Eygpt, philippines, indonesia, malaysia, afganistan, India, Pakistan.

When those peaceful loving moslems reject the portions of their "Holy" scriptures which call for death to the unbelievers and taxation and humilation of the People of the Book then I will change my opinion that the religion is an evil concoction of an evil man.

I will change my opinion that it was concocted to destroy the Christian religion and exclude it from the lands of Islam. I will even overlook 1300 years of murder, war and rapine spread in the name of and with the blessings of "The Prophet." I will cease to believe it to be the religion of the Anti-Christ.
