Not trying to be a racist flag waving American, but seriously, is anyone else besides me worried about Islam in the 21st century? You have RADICAL Wahabism in Saudi Arabia, taliban loving pushtans in Afganistan/ Pakistan, and major problems in south pacific Indonesia area. Personally I don't believe this is a religion of peace, like Christianity of the past, it seems that many would abuse the muslim/ Arabic (Arabs are the most worrisome these days) masses to keep/ abtain power. I just really don;t know what to think, I try not to buy into stereo types and racial prejudices but by everything I read in books/ everything I hear in the media, I get the feeling that Islam is not looking out for me. Is Islam itself going to be a thorn in the side of Western Civiliazation in this 21st century? Perhaps RADICAL Islam? Or I am completely offbase here?

Thoughts?
