however, until i see a couple million of your co-'religion'ists
publicly espousing similar views, all muslims are suspect.
am i 'pre-judging' ? no
am i discriminating ? you bet your ass i am !
That's the problem a_Turk, we can't tell what muslims are thinking. The ones who seem rational and civilized have a nasty habit of suddenly rediscovering serious islam and blowing infidels up. We just can't trust any muslims I am afraid, because we can't tell who is stable, and who is pretending while stockping guns and explosives for their day of holy glory murder.
We just can't tell.
If there are any "safe" muslims, I'd guess they would be Turks, but even in Turkey you have your secret "walking time bombs", don't you? Well here in the USA, we can't tell the difference. So what should we do? Trust all muslims and get blown up, or be safe and trust none?
Can you tell us non-muslims how to distinguish the next Mohammed Atta from a "moderate muslim"? We can't tell. They all seem "moderate".... until they blow up.
