But it would be a mistake to tar all Moslems with that brush, just as it would have been a mistake, 60 years ago, to tar all Germans with the "rabid Nazi" brush.

If by the word "all", you mean every single Muslim in the world, then I have no argument. However, if by "all" you mean an overwhelming majority, then I disagree. I don't see Muslims protesting homicide bombings or any other violent actions against the Jewish State OR actions against Jews in other countries. That doesn't mean they don't exist, but they're not making enough of a stink to get into the newspapers. And, based on the Muslims that I have seen, I suspect the reason I haven't seen these "peace-loving" Muslims is because they don't exist in meaningful numbers.

I suspect that there are lot more than most think, but that they keep their heads down to avoid attracting the unpleasant attention of the extremists -- which I think are at the very least a rather large and exceedingly vicious minority. Just look at the public examples --warnings-- they make of the "collaborators" in the Palestinian areas.
