The problem is not all Muslims. Far from it. It is radical Islam, just like German Nazism and Italian fascism were pinpointed as the devils in World War II. And in Christianity and Judaism, there are Christian and Jewish terrorists, terms no one is afraid of using.
So by hi-lighting this section of text in the article you're saying that you agree with this statement?

Now I'm really confused - as this statement of "The problem is not all Muslims" is 180 degrees opposite of the arguments so often expressed in many of these forums. Which is it - all Muslims are the problem or not all Muslims are the problem?

I know where I stand on the issue - as I actually agree with the author's thesis - but now I have to wonder about some of the 'all' desk pounding that was posted earlier...

And so it goes...
