We are now engaged in national and world-wide discussions about groups such
as Hamas, Al Qaeda, ISIS and ISIL because they are fighting a terrorist war
with peace-loving people in the Middle East, Northern Africa and other parts
of the world. The sole aim of those groups stated from their own leaders and
charters of existence cry out for the total destruction of the Israeli
nation and all Jewish people, as well as the "Great Satan" in the Western
world. The British are afraid of her many citizens who are fighting with
ISIS in Syria and Iraq beheading innocent women and children, Christians and
anyone who disagrees with their religion, believing since they have
passports they will infiltrate back into the British population and carry
out their jihad against humanity.

 That world-wide debate has risen to the point
of planning a war to stop that group of people who are killing
indiscriminately those who will not denounce their faith and follow
the terrorist group. This war will likely take many thousands of
lives from people who live in countries all over the world.
Radicalism has made its way to the forefront of people's thinking in
almost every country's heads of state to try to protect themselves
from the radical terrorist activities of these jihadist groups. Yet
we continue to hold the belief that those groups represent a
"peaceful" coexistence with their neighbors.
So, even in the face of these facts many are being forced to look
the other way through the efforts of "Political Correctness" to quit
considering these facts and insist the Muslim religion is a
"religion of peace." Terms like "work-place violence" or "uprising"
or "self-determination" are euphemistic terms intended to turn
people's thinking away from the actual violence and total
intolerance toward a set of terms and thinking that these groups are
simply "misunderstood" or are fighting for their personal freedoms
simply because they have been victimized by Western Christian
thoughts and practices.
When a reasonably prudent person reads this list of terrorist
acts purportedly being carried out by a group who wants to be called
"peaceful" and loving, one has to wonder if the term peaceful
carries a consistent meaning among all peoples. Pit bull dogs have a
reputation of biting people and causing great pain and destruction
when they do. It is not fair to label all pit bull dogs as vicious
and dangerous, but when you read one account after another where a
pit bull dog has bitten a child or other person a reputation begins
to form. When any group engages in violent, destructive or terrorist
behavior time after time while shouting to the world their claim of
responsibility seemingly very proud of the fact, it is not a far
leap to associate that group with the terror and destruction of
which it seems so proud. That is exacerbated by others in the group
who are less radical refraining from denouncing the radicalism of
the group that claims terrorism as a way of life and a mark of
achievement. When the group as a whole begins to police and stand
down those whose life-style is so dangerous and radical, and
maintain that posture for an extended period of time with
alternative, peaceful behaviors, then people will begin to rebuild a
trust for members of that group.

Just to plug in my own two cents, the Oklahoma City bombers
were not muslims.
