I'd believe you if I didn't see so many calling for the U.S. to nuke several Muslim dominated 3rd world countries.

Again, the truth is in facts. There have been no nukes used to attack, since 1945. However Islam has attacked with war and with terrorism, unbroken since the 1970s, and in many places.

It is argued that only a minority of Muslims support violence. I will grant that to be so. But this minority is a great danger.

Unless the majority moderate Muslims can reign in the violent minority, the name of Islam will increasingly be associated with violence, and justifiably so.

Today, Christianity and the Bible are NOT a risk to world peace. Today, Islam and the Koran are a risk to world peace. It is that simple. The ball rests in the hands of Muslims to solve their own internal problem, or to continue to be a problem for the rest of the world.

Islam would be better of with a Pope-equivalent, to tell them all to live in peace, with secular, democratic nations, with religious, economic, academic and press freedoms. (Like in Christian majority nations).

So has the U.S. including installing dictators in several countries and training those dictators on "best practices" such as torture for instance.

Now. I would like to be clear about something important. Frankly I don't think the majority of Christians in this country condone those actions by any stretch of the imagination. But.....there are many who refuse to acknowledge that those things have occurred and would rather remain ignorant about them. I understand this too. I really do. But the fact remains that these things did occur and I wish we would stop it.
