"I'm amazed at the ignorance of some responses on this thread.

If people think we can not AFFORD to support those people who want "change" from the Wahabbi type of Islam, then I suggest they study what is happening a tad more.

So it is your enlightened opinion that a group of 60 American Muslim lawyers are going to turn the entire Koran and Islam upside-down??

The women who are speaking out, who are stating that there is a true Islam vs the radical Islam are extremely brave. They could lose their lives for their stand.

While they're in the United States? Hello -- The Karamah are American. I'd suggest you "study a tad more."

And as for the "brilliant" Condo Rice, she is a RINO extraordinaire -- unworthy of any true conservative's vote IMO.

OH I get it, you think it would be "wise" for us to alienate an entire religious faction. (Good one!! Next step abolish free speech!)

Lets not look at the different "factions" of a religion, like extremist Christians who kill abortionist, or any "extremist" period. Lets not judge rather they are extremist or not, right? If thats how you feel, then why do we allow any Christians to practice their faith who think no one else has the right to their belief? Why do we allow Jews to practice their faith? If they believe other than us, they are all fanatics right?

Do you feel this country was founded upon the basic premise of religious freedom for all? Or do you feel our forefathers thought Islam was a religion that was forbidden in this country? That only Christianity was allowed?

Thats smart.. real smart. </sarcasm

Look, I think there is an EXTREMELY dangerous precedence being set by RADICAL Islamists and we need to FIGHT IT with all OUR MIGHT. But I also think there are people who believe in Islam, who do NOT believe in the Wahabbi form of Islam. Who believe in peace first!! Not this extremist form of Islam. The problem is ( and I do study different religions) is that the "normal" Muslim cannot speak out against the radicals simply because they "are" Muslims.

That needs to change.. for the sake of their religion, for the sake of Islam, that needs to change.

Unfortunately, the radical factions have been at work for quite some time. (Since the early 90's, if not the late 80's) starting long ago in Malaysia.

We are wise to be "on to them".. but we are also "wise" to not stereotype an entire faith.

The numbers of "radical" Islamists have grown,..and I happen to think we are dealing with that in an intelligent way, now that President Bush is at the helm.

It was the years of "knowing" and "ignoring" that has allowed the disease of "EXTREMISM" to grow the way it has. But it is the EPITOMY of ignorance to suggest that ALL Islamist are EXTREMIST.
