I don't "fall" for any generalized propaganda slash commentary from anyone.

As well you should not. Especially where Islam is concerned.

One of the things most people don't appreciate about Islam is just how
big that tent really is. (Jokes about camels pushing their noses in
will be ruthlessly ignored.) It's very hard to paint an accurate
picture.

With the Musslim terrorists I think it is envy, pure and simple.

There's envy all right, but it is neither pure nor simple.
Basically the problem for the Muslim extremists, terrorists or not, is
that Arab Islam has not been able to adapt successfully to the modern
world. In fact that's a problem for most of the Islamic world.

They have been wrestling with the problem for more than 150 years and
the result in some quarters is frustration, rage, a sense of impotence
and a burning desire to strike out at the rest of the world.


There is not even any real enough reason to go killing innocent people, unless it is a system
of reasoning that is deriven of ENVY. Our country and freedoms are superior
to theirs. Here (USA) you can get FAT living in the streets eating at missions
for crap's sakes. It's awesome and beautiful here. What they have is constant
theocrasy dominating them with religious guilt, therefore oppression and
therefore madness, it just doesn't work. This country is well designed. No
wonder they go blood crazy.

Well, a very few of them do anyway.
