All people come from the same place, I think.  But Islam is a religion that falls far short of tolerant, peaceful religions.  I wonder how many Muslims - bless their hearts - are familiar with the violent and hateful tenets of the Koran, and stay involved anyway, and how many AREN'T familiar, but stay because it is tradition or because they're afraid to leave.

We must pray for these precious ones, that their hearts be cleansed and their eyes opened.  We should pray the same for ourselves and everyone!

Like most people, I believe in religious tolerance. But when it comes to Islam, it's just hard to be tolerant. Maybe it's the islamic theocracies of the world that would love to kill us in our sleep. Maybe it's that women are treated as property, at best, and sub-human, at worst. Maybe it's 9/11. I guess it's all of the above. I know that not all Muslims are fundamentalist, America hating terrorists. But I'm sorry, I just don't think the peace loving ones could protect us against the radical ones who hate us. As far as reaching peaceful relations with the radical Muslim world, it would be nice, of course. Obama has, of course, made some efforts to reach out to them - and by "reach out". I mean Apologize for America and refuse to condemn the Iranian government's abuse of the protesters following the rigged presidential elections. The problem is - when the other group essentially hates our guts, there just ain't a whole lot to build on.
