I should have said "radical" Muslim & I should have made it more clear that I had just watched that video of the lunatic you said you'd like to slap around.
As a matter of fact I have friends who are Muslim and they share similar views with you. While they may reject radical Islamic views they've told me of others in my community who dont hold the same views and although they're not terrorists per say they do support the radicals. I also have some Indian, Black, White, Green, Purple & Red friends. Go Figure?

Not a single one of them gave me any pause, and every time I heard the phrase "EURabia" I just wanted to reach through the TV/Radio and cockslap the speaker.

I said I was suspicious, not afraid.
