Could any of you please help me understand something? I have some friends who are Turkish (Turkish-American). Serveral of their sons are in the US military overseas, right now fighting for our liberty. They are wonderful people. Salt of the earth. They do follow Islam, (or at least a version of Islam that they were taught -- which taught them to respect Christianity and Judiasm.)

I have been on many threads recently where the anti-Islam rhetoric is just a little too thick (I see a difference between anti-terrorist rhetoric and anti-Islam rhetoric). When I tried to post a point of view reminding people not to think of all of Islam as evil, I was treated to an unbelieveable shower of hate and ignorance.

Yet here on this thread one can write: "God bless the Turks" and there is no shower of hate. What's the difference?
