Pat, how does one "make nice" with a culture that wants to see all Americans dead? This is not an evolved group of people who want to peacably coexist with the West. I'm getting to the point where I just don't care about "moderate" Muslims and catering to the "reasonable ones". The so called moderate Muslims have done NOTHING to stop this perversion of their faith. Their silence is approval of the actions of the extremists.
I'm getting to the point where I agree that the moderate Muslims are of no help. However there has been an occasional brave one who speaks out. Their silence, which is deafening at times, could be related to fear and\or tacit approval;who the hell knows which? Their whole entire religion needs a true REFORMATION. I have little or no faith that will happen. I do think Mr. Buchanan is correct that you should not insult their religion, the cartoons have had a negative effect in general.
