          Actually; from todays news reports and the FBI news conference it looks like members of the Muslim community turned them into the Feds

          Wow.....

            Maybe people will finally realize Muslims aren't ALL bad.

              And maybe more mainstream Muslims will get smart and shout down the radicals instead of standing by and letting them take the bully pulpit.

              This is a huge problem in the Muslim world and if unchecked the baby will end up going out with the bathwater.

                ...right! I'm the only one I know who is ALL bad.

                I think there are many Muslims who would like to and sometimes do standup against the radicals, but many also got dead, and most are subject to pressure and threats, deliverable threats, that we never hear about or are aware of. Ask a few...

                  Muslims aren't any worse than Christians. Christians have just become more socially acceptable.

                    ...if you look at history, Christians have been a good bit worse, but maybe that's how they got to be socially "acceptable"...

                      ...but let's not get our terms mixed up here, Christ with Christians, Muslims with Mohammed, whites with Europeans, etc.

                      More violence has been done in the name of religion than in the name of anything else, whereas religion has, in reality, had nothing to do with it.

                      Violence is what humans do, and have done since their genesis...

                        Agreed. All religion is poisonous. Always has been; always will be.

                          religion = hope for those that believe

                          no religion= no hope and chaos as there is nothing to look forward to after death
                          Better to let one think you are a fool, than speak and prove it

                            Don't delude yourself. Religion is just a convenient excuse. If there were no such thing as religion, humans would have NO difficulty dreaming up new excuses to murder each other.

                            It's what we seem to do best.

                              Precisely. At various times it's been religion, culture, economics, tribal affiliation and even hair color (Easter Island).

                              The fact that tyrants seem to need excuses should not be used to spread religious prejudice.
