34. "If Islam"
Yup, everybody who practices that religion, all billion plus, are just spoilin' for a piece of us.

How is it that we so easily say that the policies the US is pursuing are the product of a lunatic fringe who has seized control of this country, but we find it so hard to recognize that Islamic fundamentalism is just as far out on the fringe?

If you excuse yourself from complicity with the policies of the Fierce Warrior Chieftain (and perhaps you don't), how do you then tar all Muslims with the same extremist brush?
