But fundamentalism is very very strong in the Muslim world. Most Islamic individuals I don't think are bloodthirsty, but the Muslim world is a large source of the world's strife. I believe that has more to do with Islamic culture being so pathetic and backwards than the religion itself, but you can't deny the fact that the Fundamentalists control Islam for the most part, and those fundamentalists are very dangerous.

Ahahaha... you actually seem to believe that Chrisitian fundamentalists aren't as bad... uh, NO.

Yes, there is lots of unrest in Arab nations. No, there is NOT unrest and terror from all Islamic nations. The true hatred and terror sponsorship is mostly from Arab nations. Other ethnic groups that are Islamic aren't the same... while some sponsor terrorism, its not to the extent or with nearly as much state support as it has in some Arab states. Does Iran support terrorism? Sure... but their terrorism is not popularly supported by the majority, I think, as the overwhelmingly Reformist parliament shows... its mostly the radicals. Of which every nation has many, but in that nation happen to have control.

It'd be like if Pat Robertson's violent twin had control of the US Government... or Billy Graham, Jerry Falwell, or the like...

Pakistan? Popular support for hard Islamism, sure. Some support for terrorists in Kashmir? Yeah. But that's a history and pride issue, not religion... and there isn't other government terrorism sponsorship...

And how about Malaysia and Indonesia? Both have HUGE Islamic populations -- Indonesia has the most Moslems of any nation on the planet -- and they are peaceful.

So why is this happening in Arab states? Well, violent fundamentalist leaders are one problem, true. And those people get the people angry and get them to become terrorist bombers, or get leaders to give money to terror. I don't know all the reasons, but some pretty good guesses would come from 1) Israel/Palestine; and 2) Its the Islam's holy land. Both seem to have incited people such as Bin Laden to try to destroy us... and really, Israel is the core of the problem.

Does anyone think that if the problem with the Palestinians was sorted out and solved that there'd still be a big, permanant, and worsening problem with this? I sure hope not... though with THIS president, anything's possible. After people who think like him leave, anyway.
