I am not being an apologist. I merely said evil men kill, not books, just as guns don't kill, bad people do. The objective we should have is to bring Muslims to Christ, and demonizing them based on the religion they are forced to wear will not acheive that objective. I have met too many good people who are Muslims to believe they all have evil hearts. I used to be an atheist, but the Lord wrote the truth on my heart, and I believe many Muslims are the same way. Many who come to America hear the word and convert. One such couple were Iraqi, and they operated a liquor store down the road from where I used to live. Someone who probably believed that because they were Arab that they were Muslim, and threw a molotov cocktail at their store after 911. They were God-fearing Christians, and they ended up moving from the area to protect their kids.

I feel your pain. And I gree with you that there are good Muslims. But for one reason or another there aren't any good Muslim leaders in the West or Mid East. They were driven out by the Radicals. The sh!t hit the fan starting with SA and is now almost everywhere. That pretty much reduces the good lowly muslim to a useful idiot in their hands.

There are some semi-good muslims because many are just sheep going along with the flow -- they themselves know that fatwas are placed on anyone who criticizes a mullah or a terrorist martyr.

But we're constantly told that there are some billion good muslims but only a very minute number are bad --- but if the billion have allowed the few bad to set the tone, it's because they don't disagree enough with the tone to demand it be changed.

They are allowing certain things to go on --- they themselves might not want to do the beheading but they themselves are funding the "muslim charities" which provide money for the recruiting and bribing of suicidal types and they are providing financial and other support to their evil clerics.
