I'm reading this. And I'm thinking that from a laypersons (by the way...)
point of view the only people trying to say the war on terrorism is a war on Islam is terrorists (obviously) and islamics. Does anyone out there hold the opinion that the UN (or whatever) is out to "chistendize" those of other faiths? Come'on talk to me. I mean here in my country, although I deal with alot of white shirts (sticks out tounge) we are more taught that our rule book is the standard for living and that book says, come immagrints, live here, practice your religions. There are hundreds of different types of sects within the christian or judaic (I don't know about islam-there are a few?) trying their best to even get people who meet their qualifycation of "under the christian (with christ) or judaic (without christ)" umbrella to come and be THEIR flavor of THAT interpretation of belief.

Even the animal sacrificing rights of a man I once knew (muslim) appear to be protected. Even though there are animal rights laws. Even though most feed off flesh.

I don't see what the big deal is.

I think that the issue is that someone is too close to liberating women and children from slavery-(ultimately) and that that is pissing off the slaver.
