"The Islamic religion is so . . . part and parcel with the attack on America. I just didn't want to be there, be a part of that," she said. "Even though the mainstream Islamic religion doesn't profess to hate America, nonetheless it spawns the groups that hate America."
In the same manner, one could say that Christianity spawns the likes of Fred Phelps, Eric Rudolph, "Christian Identity", the "Reconstructionists" and the so-called "Army of God" wackos. In the same manner one could say that Judaism spawns the likes of Irv Rubin, Kach, and Kahane Chai.

When any other religion gets 2% of its adherents to devote their lives to terrorism and 40% to heartily endorse it, then you will have a point.

Naw, in those cases they weren't doing what their holy books say. In islamic violence, they are doing exactly what their mohammed commanded and what he did as well.

Uh, no. It's a matter of degree, an enormous degree. There's a reason why 90% of all wars currently being waged ring the periphery of the Mohammedan world.

The Catholic Encyclopedia had it right way back in 1910:

In matters political Islam is a system of despotism at home and aggression abroad. The Prophet commanded absolute submission to the imâm. In no case was the sword to be raised against him. The rights of non-Moslem subjects are of the vaguest and most limited kind, and a religious war is a sacred duty whenever there is a chance of success against the "Infidel". Medieval and modern Mohammedan, especially Turkish, persecutions of both Jews and Christians are perhaps the best illustration of this fanatical religious and political spirit.
