Well my friend, I understand your position fully, but in retrospect, try to imagine this whole situation in reverse.Imagine some christian fundemantalists got all bent out of shape and decided to do just the same, except flying the planes in to some very important vestiges of muslim pride(you name it).Do you really think that a letter of a school girl in the states with the same content would make the muslims think about what a peacefull our religion is?
I bet you dollars against nails, they won't. They will demand eye for an eye, tooth for tooth and you know it. We live in different times since 9/11 and it is too bad, that it has come to this.
They, the muslims good or bad, have declared war on western civilization(wich we are the epitome of it)and therefore we have to take apropriate measures to protect our way of life.Innocent people will suffer because of this, yes, but defending our freedom and way of life we fought so hard to maintain/enjoy throughout history has to be defended at any price, period. Nobody but nobody has the right to take that away from us, no matter what.
