Not really speculation though is it? - Christianity HAS done terrible and horrifying things, Capitalism HAS done terrible and horrifying things - it's all a matter of keeping perspective and looking objectively at a larger picture that takes in the whole of an ideology or belief system. So while Christianity, Islam, Communism, Capitalism, etc. have all done horrible and terrible things (and continue to do so) they have also contributed positively to the greater whole of humanity either directly or indirectly, so it's silly or indicative of a personal bias to single one out as overtly evil because of the actions of a minority.

maybe we should all smoke pot, hold hands, and do an interpretive dance to express our feelings."

Umm... sure but only if you do it in the middle of the highway.

For the life of me, I cannot figure out what is the matter with you.

I think for myself, and consider more than one perspective?

Why can't you just recognize the facts?

Sorry but opinion doesn't equal fact.

No one on here has stated that they are anti muslim.

Not directly no, but the tone and ignorance displayed by some all but spell it out...

Everyone except for you can honestly say that "Yes, radical muslims are more likely to be terrorists."

Well at least you qualified it with the important term radical, others haven't bothered to use that which to is again indicative of at the very least an anti-Muslim attitude or bias - you on the other hand have at least realized that there are differences in the ideologies of Muslims, with some being radical or extremists.

It's not supposed to be an attack on the religion, it's just the plain truth. So quit trying to rationalize the radicals that end up breeding terrorists.

Again opinion doesn't equal fact, or the truth - and as you pointed out it's the radicals not the whole, something that many posters here seem to forget... I guess many of them equate Muslim and radical as the same thing unfortunately.

And please don't take my post to be a personal insult. I have a couple liberal friends, but no one has ever compared to you.

Calling me a liberal is a personal insult actually - I'm a old school Red Tory, which I know must be confusing since it's a conservative tradition pro-intellectual and pro-pluralism so I don't tend to spout the "required" conservative dogma of the new conservatives and republicans (small 'r' for a reason).
