Yes, I remember the Palistinians jumping for joy in the streets when the planes hit the buildings, but not all Muslims feel that way. With our support of Israel, sure, the Palistenians are going to hate America probably more than other Muslims, but thats another post.

The one thing I have gleaned from my Muslim friends (mainly legal immigrants from Kuwait) is that they have never had to denounce radical members of their own faith on such a large scale and in such a public way and it goes against the teachings of Islam to do so (Nikon...is this making any sense?). I don't claim to be an expert on their faith, but as time goes by, they will be forced to either condemn the radicals or support them.

Also, remember, many Muslims live in countries where speaking out against the radicals will get their heads cut off or other nasty consequences. This does not necessarily mean they all detest the west and wish us dead. I know too many Muslims that live here and like America and wish they could bring their whole family here to live. If they hated us THAT much...why would they want to live amongst us infidels?

Thats the biggest problem in all of this: it will take time for the Muslims to police their own and call them out, but I really think they'll do it when the pressure comes to bear.

There is probably as much disinformation amongst mid-east Muslims about westerners/Christians/anglos as there is amongst us about them and their ways. Geography alone has made it to where anyhting but Chrtsianity seems foreign/odd and threatening to us, but that will probably change as time goes by.

This doesn't mean I am for easing up on keeping an eye on those here on visas, though. Sorry that they see it as discrimination or profiling, but its just the world we live in today. I understand why people are nervous and apprehensive.

None of this will go away as long as operations like this continue. For those who think we do not create divisions, watch this video then ask yourself if it is possible for others to dislike us because of what transpires. The division used to center on communist regimes. Now it has become a division based on religion.

Oh, I believe WE (USA) create divisions. From establishing Israel to Iranian govt. meddlings to the Soviet-Afghan War...sure we have.

Thats one reason why I was so surprised at the outrage over Ron Paul's statement that 9-11 happened because of US mid-east activities. Of course thats why they attacked us! Is everyone just so stupid to believe that they did this only because of hatred of Christians or the west? That sounds silly to me.

Its stupid of us to go meddling around in other country's govt. businesses (supporting them one minute then taking them out the next), then scratch our collective heads when they attack us...what did we expect?

If I can get it, then the well-heeled Ivy League grads surely cn grasp this concept. The truth is, there is money and deals to be had in it for them to keep it all going...thats the scary thing.

If it sounds silly to you, then you haven't read much...

That is, if you take OBL and AQ at their word, going back to the 80's...

The thing that disturbs me the most is why havent the Iraqi's started to slaughter the insurgents enmasse. They have killed over 3000 Americans but they have killed many times that number of their own fellow Moslems. Why arent they parading around their cities dragging and desicrating the bodies of their true tormentors instead of the soldiers that are trying to make their lives better. There is something truely wrong with a religion that finds no fault in murdering people that dont believe in their prophet in hideous ways and taping these grusome acts for everyone to see. The religion of peace my ass. When they start acting like something other than the bronze age barbarians they are then maybe people will listen to them. Pardon my frankness but I have lost friends over there and see the results every day. I'm beginning to believe that we should just pull back into the gulf and turn the whole region into a flaming ruin.
