Is it possible that "the beliefs that distinguish peaceful Muslims from terrorists" are really just a matter of inches and hours? If so, then we are safe from peaceful Muslims (and peaceful leftists) only as long as their more ferocious brethren seem unlikely to succeed...

Ya THINK!?!?!!!

Not sure what you're asking me, NAV (do I think what?!) but while the above quote from the article is true, in that theoretically it's possible there's little if any distinction in the beliefs of all Muslims, that's kind of like saying there's little or no distinction between the beliefs of the Pope and the beliefs of, say, James Jones, or the Heaven's Gate cult (who were at least peaceful, if I recall, but you get my point!)...

That said...I don't know!! Certainly I think all those peaceful Islamists out there had ought to be taking a bit more pro-active of a stance in denouncing all "fellow Muslims" who are murderous terrorists, and I'm not quite hearing that loud and clear, either...

Or maybe you were asking me about the progress of Christians?! Hmmmm...

If so, seems there are much fewer murderous terrorist Christians, no matter how radical some's beliefs may be, than there are Islamists...but I could be wrong. ("the troubles" come to mind..)
