Ping. We in the West are learning our History of Islam. We aren't liking what we see.

That's the problem- prior to 911, I subscribed to the theory that most Muslims were OK, the problem was with their leaders and a small band of fanatics. This is also a charateristic of other groups and religions, too.

911 and the "street-dancing Arabs" sure changed that, and the all-too-typical suppression of that story just confirmed for me that something awful was unfolding below the radar.

The atrocities against Israel have only further hardened my heart.

As far as I am concerned, the burden of proof- to prove that Islam is not a religion of medievalism, ignorance, blind hatred to nearly all I hold dear- is squarely on the shoulders of Islam, and I find them wanting...
