Just a reminder, Kev. |
Thanks for an entirely irrelevant reminder. It's not as if Max is the first person to say this. It has almost become a cliche...
My response was directed at your snide and uninformed commentary on it. You use a small sect of murderers to demonize an entire people and religion. Yes, Islam as a whole has been, in a sense, hijacked by radicals. But muslim nations have not only been hijacked by radical Islam, but also governmental corruption, tyrany, oppression, and greed. It's not merely coincidental that many of the more liberal muslims you'll likely meet happen to live in liberal democracies, or at the very least more open and free societies.
p.s.-- you can read the articled linked below, too.

Even if 80% of Palestinians (supposedly) support suicide bombings, where are the other 20% hanging out ?
