Its funny that the only argument people can come up with is well its not ALL of them.. I don't believe anyone ever said that...but that's what ya wanna hear..
And actually most of their attacks have been amongst each other....Get ya facts straight before you try to dispute an argument. The MIddle East has caused for more turmoil by themselves than we could ever do! I don't believe Dubya has gassed them or dragged them in the public square and beat them about the head....all in the name of Allah.

Okay:
1- the Quran does not state anywhere to rise up and attack the infidel. It urges you to not force your beliefs on others through force; but by thought, word, and deed. Unless the infidel is attacking you, you do not seek to do violence unto them (basiclly do not start it but end it). It is the mullahs that preach hate, that have brought that element into the Muslim religion.... just as there are Christian fundamentalists that preach hatred and intolerance, yet we do not refer to Chrisitanity as a religion of hatred do we?
2- Well we are trying to prevent Americans (and Canadians) from being taught to hate (anyone) from an early age; and people like Laua Schlessinger don't help. Here statements actually encourage an enviroment of intolerance that you lament "Muslims" having.
3. Now saying that the Middle East has casued more turmoil by themsleves is demonstrating a poor grasp of both history and politics. You are forgetting a minor little historical thing called the crusades (were Christians commited acts comparable to if not worse than the acts commited by todays terrorists), which was in the name of God; the Cold War, were the various countires of the Middle East were used as pawns by the US and USSR. It had been external pressures that have resulted in the most turmoil in the Middle East, and the resulting hatred left over that has spawned the cells of hatred through out the region.
4. No Dubya didn't drag them out into a square to be shot, nor did he gas them. But his predecisors in office supported the Hussein regime, and supplied him with arms, money, and the chemicals that he eventually turned on the Kurds.... all in support of the Cold War which I mentioned earlier. Speaking of the Cold War, where do you think Al Queda got it's start? where do you think Bin Laden got his training? Fighting the USSR in Afghanistan with support from the US.
