I see Moslim extremists like soccer hooligans. Just some dumb f***s with too much time on their hands listening to people who put wrong ideas into their dumb minds. You'll only need to take out the handfull of people that spread and fund the hate. Contrary what your government would like you to believe most Moslims are good citizens making a living and feeding their family. Heck, being Moslim or not doesn't even really matter. Its just the dumb f****s that use the Islam as an excuse to kill. Its a bit like the crusades organised by the Church hundreds of years ago.

Of course you are right, BUT, in the US at least, Muslims are afraid of their terrorist "brothers" and won't speak out against them. ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson, CTO | mens | | Analog Innovations, Inc. | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | Phoenix, Arizona 85048 Skype: Contacts Only | | | Voice:(480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | "You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
