So three of four are not hostile, correct?
Btw, I'm already convinced we are at war. Just not with Islam.

Any Catholics who participated in those actions you referenced should have been prosecuted and excommunicated. I refuse to tacitly condone Islamofascism and terrorism because others in our past have also done wrong. Is the fact that we made mistakes in the past the basis for allowing it to happen to us again today?

Should have been. But weren't. And the fact that we made mistakes in the past should be the basis for us not making the same mistakes today and being able to recognize that others may make the same mistakes without being evil people.

Those in our society today who fail to recognize this threat are sheep and will likely die like sheep, after preventing the sheepdogs from doing their duty when it was doable.

Fighting all of Islam is not doable, and the idea that it should be done is foolish (I am not claiming that you are suggesting that idea, but following the thread title).
There are troops from Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Morocco, Iraq, Afghanistan, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Bahrain, Jordan and I am sure others that are risking their lives in the GWOT on our side. They are Muslims by and large.
So, are we to turn away the help of those sheepdogs in our quest for a war with Islam? Shall we declare them to be enemies? They are Islam at least as much as the Islamists.
