PJ, you snuck a post in there before I hit the submit button. Did the muslim start the Crusades, or was that the Christians trying to take back the "Holy Land" and convert the muslims to christianity. How about the Spanish conquistadors that destroyed entire Indian populations in South America. I think they were trying to convert the natives to Christianity too.
How about the muslims in the United States? Are they all terrible people too? Somehow, I think we are categorizing muslims in general based upon the acts of just a few. Kind of like we categorized the Japanese in the United States after the attack on Pearl Harbor. We have some narrow minded people on this board.
This is why the country cannot get along and why it is so divided. Each side, liberal and conservative is so far to one side it is insane. Logic would require us to meet in the middle, but we are so scared to compromise on a single thing for fear that more will be taken away. Kind of like the NRA not wishing to compromise on gun control.
