You can't be a Christian and have hate in your heart, that's the difference between the two religions. I can call myself a Christian all day and blow up buildings but in the end God's not going to call me a Christian and that's the point.

I agree with your point.
I don't disagree that it is much harder to find a muslim that openly opposes the actions of these extremists. Now the question is why? Is it because there are none as you suggest, or is there some other reason... fear?
If you read the news today, you will see where two muslims had their heads cut off on the street in Iraq today. I wonder if they had openly opposed the extremists?
The extremists ARE in control in many countries today. Until they are over-run, people are going to be afraid to oppose them openly.
Personally, I see a less visible strategic component to Bush's approach. I believe that when the extremists are removed from muslim countries, Christianity will bloom within them. Many muslims are muslims out of fear. Christianity, a faith that is based upon love, will bloom just as easily as democracy. People yearn for freedom, and they yearn for love. It is unstoppable.
