If Islam as a religion allows such murderous extremists to lay claim to a place within that religion then every Muslim is complicit in any terrorists acts done under the banner of Allah.
No one wants a war with Islam. But if the religous leaders of that religion do not put an end, one way or another, to the radical factions within itself, then we (the rest of the world)will. Those Muslims who are complicit with the Islamic terrorists by their silence will be caught in the fire with their brothers in the faith.
Americans can be bloodthirsty also...take note of our own civil war.
Islam needs such a war to define itself.
"Americans can be bloodthirsty also...take note of our own civil war. "
Um... I don't think that Americans are particularly bloodthirsty, nor do I think that our civil war is evidence of such. Our civil war was fought because the north believed that they had the right to cram unconstitutional federal authority down the throats of the states and the Southern states called BS on it.
And a lot of people died.
We're not bloodthirsty, we just don't take any crap.
Just wanted to say that I agree with everything else that you said.
