On another thread I made a big point about the silence of "moderate Muslims"--it looks like we have found one with the guts to stand out from the pack and support our US attack on terrorists. For those who are from the middle east the issue is really not as difficult to resolve as they make out: simply do not support the terrorists in any way; no money, no safe harbor, no polemics and no moral equivalency.

This Caribbean-born imam should be the one on the national media--not the ones who defend the Taliban and bin Laden.

Based on what I have learned in the past month, I am inclined to think that "mainstream" Muslims are all violence advocating, terror-supporting monsters, and that only a few "fringe" elements are truly peaceful. Quite the opposite of what we have been hearing in the press and from President Bush (although I don't blame Bush for speaking in diplomatically necessary terms just now).

But I am starting to think that Islam is really a religion that can only be spread by the sword, and that this therefore really IS a religious war of the west against Muslims.
