Then there's the issue of Moslems elsewhere. Africa is full of them. Southeast Asia is full of them. In fact, the world's largest Moslem country is there. The Turks are Moslem.
Wouldn't it be better to just get rid of the Arabs and not offend the religious sensibilities of all those other folks? Hmmmmm!?!?
The enemy in this case is a gang of Islamisists, not Islam, or people who are Moslem. Our other Moslem enemy is a secularist - Saddam Hussein.
It is tiring trying to get folks who have no trouble differentiating between Baptists and Democrats to apply the same subtle distinctions to folks in the Middle East and the Moslem world.
You can differentiate between Baptists and Democrats, right?
I've noticed this too. With the exception of a few others (the Persian Ayatollah and a few heavyweight Pashtuns) it is almost exclusively Arabs causing the problem. Not Turks, not Hashemites, not Beoduins(sp?), but the Arab majorities in S.A., Jordan, Egypt, Syria, and Iraq, and the Arab minorities who stir up trouble in places like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, the U.K., France, here in the U.S....
