To: Seeking the truth
One thing I have learned over the years is that every religious belief system in the world contains zealots. Some people call them fanatics, others zealots, yet others extremists. It does not matter what you call them, they have the same mindset with the same goals in mind.

I find the actions of zealots offensive (but not a surprise), because that is to be expected from people with that particular mindset. What I do find offensive are the words of those who ignorantly stereotype all people in a general area or religious belief system as all believing the same thing or on the same "mission".

Just thought I'd share my $.02 :)

Thanks for sharing.

My own $.02 sez that there is nothing really extreme about this headline. I believe it to be the basic Koran teaching that muslim Extremists and non extremists are seeking to foster One Islamic World. The
