All religions have idjits who don't get it. Islam, unfortunately, has a lot more idjits to its name, probably because it's got more violent content in its pages than other holy books.

This was the nonsense which was bounced around by Islamic apologists when 9/11 first happened. This is not about idiots in "all religions". This is not about the IRA or the problems in Ireland. This is about the global jihad. This is about 13 centuries of Islamic repression. This is about the challenge to Western interests. This is about a religion which has never stopped its desire for global sharia. So while some desire to obfuscate the issue by misdirecting the discussion to "idiots" in "all religions" and even to suggest that Islam has a greater proportion of idiots, is entirely irrelevant to the nature of Islam and its global rather than merely regional problems.

Nosense? No, just the facts.

You talk of Islam as though it were one great force walking across the world. In reality it's as broken and divided as any other major religion. 1.5 Billion people spread across several countries in more than a few regions does not make for a good unity. The folks in the Middle East can't even get their ducks in a row to do ANYTHING unilateral.

I know from personal experience that most Muslims really do just want to live their lives and get by. There are exceptions, and these need to be dealt with - resolutely and harshly - but you can't tar all Muslims everywhere with the brush of the global jihad.

What happened on 911 was, by the standards of the Noble Qu'ran, harram. Of course, you have Muslims out there who don't see it that way, just as you have "Christians" who think it's okay to act like animals. They all can be found, f**ked and forgotten, and I'll shed no tears for any. But I won't accept that all are bad because of the actions of the mad, the bad and the thankfully few.
