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?

Can you name me a country where Muslims have been able to live under a non-Muslim government, once they became a sizable minority? Also, can you name me a Muslim country where there is any respect at all for people who are not Muslim.

Phil Lucas, editor of the Panama City, Fla., News Herald, April 4, 2004, editorial "Up Against Fanaticism," says:

"We could fill the newspaper every morning with mobs of fanatical Muslims. They can’t get along with their neighbors on much of the planet: France, Chechnya, Bosnia, Indonesia, Spain, Morocco, India, Tunisia, Somalia, etc. etc. etc. Can anybody name three ongoing world conflicts in which Muslims are not involved? Today, where there is war, there are fanatical Muslims. We might quibble about who started what conflicts, but look at the sheer number of them."
