I'm sorry Rudey but passing judgement on a faith based upon the actions and beliefs of fanatic nutjobs is doing more than a little insulting to the those that practice the faith.

In this case you are judging the Islamic faith, based upon the actions of those who who by their actions violate the tennets of the faith, whether through violence or political exploitation... a comparative would be judging the Christian faith and those thast practice it based on the actions and beliefs of the Westboro Baptist Church - or judging the Jewish faith and those who practice it based in the actions and beliefs of Kahane Chai (Kach) or the JDL.

None of the above mentioned groups should be taken as a reflection upon the whole of the faith that spawned them - nor should any of us be surprised that any faith can be manipulated by those that wish to pervert it for their own ideological/political agenda.
