I have no doubt that 90% of the replies will be the usual "Islam is a religion of peace" party line that everyone feels the need to spout off. It's not the people who think it's a peaceful religion that I'm worried about. It's the people who fly airliners into buildings, strap on suicide vests, murder children in schools in Beslan, and blow up people on trains. Also, before you start the anti-Christian/Jew mumbo jumbo, please know that I am an atheist. I'm not advocating a religion. It does, however, seem to me that while not all Muslims are terrorists, almost all terrorists are Muslim. I can see it now, ignoring my question and mentioning anomalies like Tim McVeigh or Hitler. I don't think those people were right either, but they are not the topic at hand. I'm particularly excited to read responses of the people who deny Islamic Extremism's existence. Should we stifle discussion before it starts? Can we please have a little intellectual honesty on this subject?
