Wow. Dropped in and read that post and... wow. First, if you're going to quote someone, you should give us a link so people can see the entire quote so as to evaluate it in its context.
Second, do you really think this comes down to Islam alone? I read your post and what I see isn't the religion, per se, being at the core of that violence, but politics. Perceived injustice. Disagreement among cultures. Misunderstandings. Military action that has caused resentment. A looooooong history of tribal warfare. People that frankly cannot seem to understand each other.
Do I think Islamic radicals are crazy people? Yes. But your post seems to take a bunch of info and skew it into a point of view that isn't logical. You claim that Islamics who bitch about being persecuted is crazy, yet that is exactly what your post did. You took those facts and drew the conclusion that an entire religion is out to kill Americans.
Seems to me the attitude of "I"m right, so others are wrong," is everywhere, not just in areas where radical Islamics exist.
