If generalizations like "subhuman vermin" go "against every fiber of my being" then you wouldn't make them. I think there are a few fibers missing. I am completely aware of the dangers of Islam. I was taught respect the same way you were, and will react the same. I think that you would find we have far less disagreement than you may suspect. How can a ‘good’ person practice an ‘evil’ religion? If you follow the vile teachings of the koran, you are a vile person. Period. By labeling the entire religion "evil" and any practioner thereof as "vile" you condem those that are standing with us to rid their country of true evil. Would you condem the translators that aid our soldiers everyday at great personal risk? Would you condem those that have given info that aided in the mission? Would you condem the Muslims who are speaking out against the Muslim terrorists? There is alot of crazy stuff and crazy practioners in Islam to be sure. There are crazies in every religion including Christianity. Since I don't speak or read Arabic, and I'll bet you don't either, we can't know what it really says. There is still debate about the Bible. Yet I wouldn't condem all Christians as crazy because of the likes of Timothy McVey or Jim Jones.

Show me some.

Show me some.

I knew the McVey angle would come into play. He didn’t blow the building out of his religious convictions, he was fighting back against an oppressive government (it was his response to the Waco massacre). Jones was a wackjob pure and simple.

The vast majority of Christians are peaceful. The vast majority of muslims are demented, violent, sub-human vermin.

It’s good that you can keep an open mind oneamericanvioce. I hope it doesn’t get you killed.
