In short, yes.
I believe that Islam is being perverted by those who are focusing on the most extreme messages of the religion. This can and has been done with almost every religion, Christianity included.
Most Muslims for most of history have focoused, practiced and believed in the Islam that stresses faith, obedience to God, charity and humbleness.
If Arab nations were not led by oppressive, oil rich dictators than the poilitics would not have been forced to the mosque and Islam would not have been perverted into an excuse to kill innocent human beings.
Before I am beraged with quotes from the Koran telling Muslims to kill infidels, I can supply similar ones from the Bible. It is a matter of emphasis and there is a reason that imams are choosing to emphasize the violence instead of the peace. The hate instead of the love.
Mr. Bush recognizes that it is contrary to everything that is American to punish an entire group for the actions of an extreme few. I know that the analogy is lacking, but blaming all Muslims for the actions of the few somehow wreaks of blaming Jews for crucifying Jesus. But, I rest assured that Christianity would never be perverted to include such a thought.
Good. Let's hear where Christians are instructed by Christ or the apostles to murder non-Christians.
If Arab nations were not led by oppressive, oil rich dictators than the poilitics would not have been forced to the mosque and Islam would not have been perverted into an excuse to kill innocent human beings.
And if your aunt had a beard, she'd be your uncle.
I don't care. I don't care, I don't care.
We're dealing with the here and now, not "what would have been" if a bunch of rag-heads hand't done such-and-such.
Muslims are murdering Americans, and they're targeting babies in the West Bank.
They must be destroyed.
