Muslims
Draco771;
There are good Muslims in the world. The problem is that they appear to be a minority. They go through life doing good things and wish the world to see that and apply it to all Muslims - "See, all Muslims are like me."
The problem comes when you step back and view Muslims as a whole. As a whole the majority go about their lives as citizens of whatever country they are in. Doing their jobs and going to Friday prayers.
But they are the sea that the terrorist fish and their supporters swim in. The west is like fishermen in boats throwing out lines trying to hook the terrorists. Depending on where the boat is the sea can be calm or it can be stromy but it does not place the fish in the boat.
Islam will have turned the corner into the 21st Century when it begins to police it's own.
Funny how Terrorists in the Gaza strip can fire rockets into Israel - no reaction from Muslims in the west. Israel strikes back - thousands of Muslims hit the streets in the west to protest.
To be a good Muslim you have to believe yours is the only true religion and follow the Quran.
You need to read the Quran, slowly this time. To put it simply, the Quran was written in two periods. The period before Muhammad came to power and the period after he came to power. Those who claim Islam is a peaceful religion focus on the writtings of the first period. Radical Islamists focus on the second part.
