Then we agree on much. I also agree Bush cannot and should not come out and condemn Muslims outright, especially Muslims in this country. It would be a bloody disaster. Many (nearly all) innocent people would die. Vigilantly justice is not what this country is about or should ever be about. I do not subscribe to the idea that all Muslims must die even if I think their religion is the root cause of much suffering in the world.

I do think those who call for attacks on us, are making plans to attack us or actually do attack us should be crushed. Those who threaten us (by calling for attacks) should be taken at their word and we should respond accordingly.

Overall I don't know what the answer is. I do know it's going to take a long time and many innocent lives will be lost. Very sad times…

Thank you for the kind words.

"The belief in Islam is protected, so long as it does not lead them to break any laws or to threaten the lives of other citizens."

But yet Islam has done both. Therefore, by your words, it should not be protected.

It has lead its followers to kill, rape, and hate those that do not follow Islam. Islamic law, Shariah, threatens the lives of Islamic citizens.

The fact that many Muslims have not killed infidels is not the point. There were many Germans that did not kill any Jews during the Nazi regime, and the same can be said of Russians under the Stalin regime.

Tell me, did all of those "good" people make a difference? I think we all know the answer to that.

There is a saying: "Evil flourishes when good men do nothing." I do not agree with this. Evil flourishes when people are evil enough to let it.

So I ask YOU again: How do you condone such a thing?
