I know this runs counter to many of the posters on this forum's ideas about Muslims, but because I had a Muslim professor (from Bangladesh), I realize that not all Muslims are the same. He was an excellent teacher (climatology) and expressly wished to disassociate himself from the murderous Mideast nuts who slaughter Israelis and westerners. Pipes is correct...not all Muslims are savage fiends. My professor even invited the class to his apartment for dinner and to meet his wife and thoroughly westernized son.
Islam can be reformed, but tough love may be needed. When many of the Islamist maniacs who are killing innocents now are hunted down and destroyed, you might see a modernization of other Muslim societies. It won't be easy, but I refuse to believe that all Muslims are evil. If you knew my ex-professor, you'd know that to be true.
I think you are confusing what most of are saying, that Islam itself is evil, with the proposition that all individuals who are Mahometans are evil. The latter statement is not true, nor does it logically inhere in the former statement. That would be the same thing as saying all Germans are evil because Nazism was evil.
