Unfortunately, you're wrong. Wahabbism is the dynamic center of radical Islamism

So you say. It may very well be the "center", at the moment, but that doesn't make much of a difference, seeing the behaviour of muslims not directly connected to wahabbism. So far, only one thing seems consistent within islam: the pathological lies.

The Muslim world may have been relatively poor and backward for 200-300 years, but it has only become homicidal relatively recently, simultaneous with the rise of Wahabbism as an ideological export from Saudi Arabia.

You're out of your tree, and probably a prime example of why there's plenty reason not to trust even a "non-wahabbi" muslim. Islam has been on a war footing before, you know, and been tossed back to the sands :).

Geez. You wouldn't happen to be connected with "MuslimAmerica", would you?

I take it you don't draw distinctions between various Islamic countries, and think Islam anywhere is very dangerous, with agressive and violent intentions, no matter what the sect, or the underlying culture. Is that a fair statement?

I think you have stumbled onto something here. Hamza, how do you feel about suicide bombings? Are they murder or are they "armed struggle?" Or are they the latter when in Israel, and the former when anywhere else? Is American foreign policy to blame for 9/11? Did America deserve a "wake up call?" Is it OK for Arab countries to be Jew-and-Christian-free, but not for America to be Muslim-free? Is racial profiling at airports OK? Is it logical risk-assessment or is it racism?
