#1 The whole problem is that 9/11 caused the direct opposite "Oh, what we did to poor Muslims to make them act like this? We have to show them that we are not bad people!"

Like Thomas Jefferson, perhaps? That kind of western leader?

#3 My hatred of muzzies started in the early 70’s with the plane hijacking followed up by two months in Beirut in the summer of ‘82, followed by the Marine bombings, followed by an endless list of crimes in the name of that pig Mohammed. We should have turned the Middle East into glass when we had a chance.

#4 Personally, I think Islam equated itself with terrorism.

Agreed.

My first reaction to the attacks on 9/11 was, "I wonder if we'll get the hint THIS time?" And when GWB uttered those inane words, "Islam is a religion of peace" I figured I got my answer.

I shudder to think what kind of Islamic atrocity it will take for us to figure things out...
