Any Muslim that denounces what Hassan did is actually perverting their religion, according to their own bible.
Why do y'all keep ignoring that simple fact?
The post-9/11 conversations with them were telling... Their facial expressions were a mix of disgust and embarrassment. They openly condemned the hijackers and their actions.
Maybe they were lying, but that was a heck of a show if they were...
So I'm not willing to throw out the baby with the bathwater just yet. I still think we can coexist with the majority of Muslims. But the jihadists present a major problem, because they blend in with the good ones to the point that it makes them all look bad.
Just like the crazy Christians among us makes all Christians all look bad.
But again, we're back to having benign, strange religious views versus actually killing people who don't believe in their craziness. By comparison, there are very few Christian "jihadists".
