Ex-fetus, not all Muslims are fanatical or bent on berating or destroying the West. I lived in the Gulf for 5 years and have many Muslim friends there who are pro-American and have pro-Western ideals, including a yearning for true democracy. There are also many moderate Muslims abroad and in the US who do not agree with the radical Islamic worldview.
Not “every” Muslim needs to believe in destroying the West for it to happen. Hell, even the moonbats who believe the “Bush junta” runs American and Western policy can’t possibly believe that “every” American and/or Westerner believes in Bush’s policies, yet somehow Bush and his “cabal” are able to steer policy in their direction, so why wouldn’t a small proportion of Muslims who DO believe in “destroying the West” be capable of pushing Muslim “civilization” in that direction? Have the Muslim masses ever been empowered enough to take on a determined Muslim leadership to stop it from making aggressive war? I’ve studied Islamic history enough to know the answer is no, so if people are relying on their Muslim “friends” to stop the Muslims who want to destroy the West, they are basing that hope on exactly squat, to use the technical term. If people cannot understand that, they really shouldn’t be commenting on the War on Terror (which should definitely be called the War on Islamic Fascism and, yes, I’ve heard all the counterarguments to that phrase and they are all weak).
