Grow up! I am not a hate monger or a racist, your harboring usubstantiated contempt about me and you dont even know me. I apologize if I'm not being poliically correct enough for you. I base my point of views on things I've read, not on what I see on cnn. I dont share your point of view but I'm not gonna call you a lame piece of ****!
I still dont see how my speculating about this being religously motivated makes me a prideful, backwooded, uneducated, ignorant piece of poo. Its my OPINION and that is all. Your attacking me and my intelligence is not gonna sway it at all.
Keep typing all the crap though if anything its entertaining
Here is what I don't get:
Our perceptions of Islamic countries are based mainly on two things: Our media, and their own media.
A lot of the Islamic-based media has celebrated, to a degree, what happened on 9/11, and what is currently happening over there . . . but, as you pointed out, media is not always to be trusted.
There are those behind media who, at times, have an agenda they want to promote.
You are very quick to point out that you don't believe everything you see on CNN, yet it seems that you are very quick to judge them based on what their own media says . . . unless you have any other exposure to these Islamic countries.
From my personal experiences, the extremist in Islam are VERY vocal, and are trying to spread their influence . . . but they do not speak for everyone.
Hmm . . . it's too bad there aren't casualty/fatality numbers from the Crusades.
I bet per capita there are just as many radical/extremists LDS people (FLDS) out there that practice polygamy and marry/sleep with under age girls routinely.
Does that mean all LDS people are polygamists and child molestors? Thats a pretty common viewpoint outside of Utah and do you think it's an accurate or fair one? It's the actions of a few that sometimes speak louder than the less vocal majority.
Same with Catholics....is it fair to say that all catholics are child molestors because some priests have been caught doing so?

More like Hundreds of Millions . . .
Religions don't kill people, guns . . . er . . . people kill people.
Edit: I will say this though, Wahhabism doesn't bode well for Islam's overall perception . . .
It's a great example of an extremist organization that went unchecked, and is now the tail which seems to wag the dog.
