Islam vs. Fundamentalist Islam
They are NOT one and the same.
One bears about as much resemblance to the other as true christianity does to the teachings of that wacko nut who had the Ryan (or David?) Sheppard website.
The truth of the matter is that the vast majority of muslims are NOT fundamentalists, and do not subscribe to that creed. As usual, its the vocal few who manage to bully, cow and fear-monger their way into power that cause the trouble and hatred.
This is not war,but something terribly akin to it, and woe unto those who hide this coward. I'm betting its the Taliban, and if it is, I think its time to remove that particular pimple from the face of the earth (and also get our missionaries back).
