Sorry, posted this just before getting off work.

What is my thinking concerning Islam? I don't have a problem with it. I have a problem with people that commit specific acts. If they don't do anything, then leave them alone. There is no such thing as thought crime, or religion crime.

The whole idea that 'Islam' is inherently anything is ridiculous--that includes peaceful, warlike, whatever. There is no monolithic Islam. There are Wahhabis, Salafi, Sufis, Shi'as, Ismailis, etc...

If specific groups target innocent people, they should be delt with the way our president is dealing with them. This rhetoric that 'Islam is the enemy' is stupid and counter-productive. Attacking Islam will hurt our relations with those allies we need to win the war on terrorism, as well as hurt any Muslim voices who try to speak out against extremism.

And if you really believe all Muslims are our enemy, check out the Islamic Supreme Council of America.

Or read their section on extremism, or their press releases.

This group has been warning the world about Wahhabism and bin Laden since long before 9/11.
