"Yes, but that would be assuming that ALL Muslims intend to kill others. If this were the case, there would be many more dead Americans out there."

True, but my problem with the "peaceful" Muslims is that they insist on staying in a religion that is pretty much the cause of nearly all world violence. If the Christians were lynching blacks in the name of Jesus, I, for one, would not a Christian for very long. These "peaceful" Muslims continue to make excuses for the killers (misguided, not following the Koran, etc.). That is now how a properly functioning religion deals with monsters like these.

Do you have proof for the assertion that Islam is the cause of nearly all world violence? I think the Colombians, and the people in Sierra Leone, Cote D'Ivoire, Liberia, the DR Congo, Haiti, Sri Lanka, and Burundi would disagree. Many blacks were lynched, not in the name of Jesus, but because it was believed that miscegenation was immoral under Christianity. It is important not to equate Muslims with Muslim regimes, the vast majority of which are quite oppressive. But what other way should Muslims (not Muslim regimes) address terrorists than to denounce them and demonstrate that they are not representative of their religion?
