E.D. completely blew it at the end. The old "We all know there are a lot of moderate muslims and not all are radical."

What that does is simply tend to nullify everything the viewer has just seen and heard. "Oh, I just saw acts of terror and horror, but very few muslims are like that? Okay, I won't worry about that today."

Same thing Bush has been doing for six years - "Radical islamic is out to kill us, but..."

Why can't they just say "Many, many muslims want to kill us, and few muslims are actively opposing it." That is a completely accurate statement and a more accurate reflection of the reality than what the PC media and politicians say.

No, that is not an accurate statement. The number of Muslims who are actively trying to kill Americans is less than the number of Muslims who are actively trying to kill other Muslims who are actively trying to kill Americans. The Afghan National Army, the Iraqi Army (less some rogue elements), Coalition troops from Bosnia and Kazakhstan, military and intelligence operatives from Jordan, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Oman; don't they count?

Very very good point, maybe better than you know: if even ONE percent of the billion Muslims on the planet would like to see us dead, that equals a far higher number than the miniscule fraction of one percent of the 99% that are "peaceful" and yet do NOTHING to rein in their murderous minority.
