"Muslims are not our enemies. Terrorist groups that promote violence and hatred, some of which claim to operate under the banner of Islam, are our enemies. But they comprise a tiny percentage of Muslims worldwide."

Tiny percentage? Gosh! That makes me feel so much better now that I know that the 19 moslems that caused the 9/11 mayhem were only a "tiny percentage of Muslims." (/sarc.)

Yeah, and I just thought of this: You want to talk about hate propaganda? Compare these cases:

Case A: Two or more Americans conspire to blow up the Murrah Federal building in Oklahoma City, killing 195. The President blames it on talk radio, and the press takes up the call, portraying the militia movement and other 2nd Amendment supporters as a source of home-grown terrorists.

Case B: Two men who were not members of any church beat a young gay man to death. The media immediately blames Christian organizations who have spent decades preaching that homosexuals deserve to be loved and prayed for.

Case C: Nineteen Muslims hijack four airliners. The resulting mayhem claims 3,000 American lives. The media and the President rush to tell us that the "religion of peace" is not the problem here.

Now, McVeigh wasn't a militia guy or a subscriber to the Limbaugh Letter. The guys who beat Matthew Sheppard to death weren't Christians. But for the sake of argument, let's say they were. If millions of Americans involved in Talk Radio, Militias and Christianity were painted with the black brush because of the actions of four men, shouldn't Islam get "credit" for the millions of Muslims who call for American and Jewish extinction?

Islam is a religion that you can practice peacefully, but it is not a religion of peace, and "moderate" Muslim leadership has been anything but moderate. Too bad CAIR will never own up to that.
