    Would be good, but won't make a lick of difference. There are probably ten more Zarqawi's ready to take his place.

    I believe moderate Muslims dislike, perhaps even "hate" America, and mainly it's policies over the last 50+ years, but are often able to distinguish between the policies of our government and everyday American citizens.

    They know that we don't run the country.

    why dont you just script exactly what you'd like to see and send it to these people.

    condemn? they never condemn it.

    after seeing condemnations: they never do it forcefully its all just rhetoric.

    after seeing really really strong rhetoric: its over the top they should be civil.

    what do you want from them?

    is it your point that we're just not protesting enough? bring home the troops and have them march through the streets carrying "may he rot in hell signs?" i know, the democrats are already do this, but the object of their outrage is george bush, not the terror bombers.

    Nope, you missed my point....AGAIN! :D

    Like I said in my post, the only thing IMHO that will stop Fundamentalist Islamist Terror is Moderate Muslims rising up against them. I see the Jordan protest as a good sign that this will eventually happen.

    No amount of bombs, bullets, or soldiers will stop Fundamentalist Islamist Terror. It must me stopped from within the Muslim world.

    Guns dont kill people.....Muslims kill people.

    Seriously though, RM Tex is right....until "middle-muslimville" stands up and starts protedting against their own extremists....its not going to stop. The 10 of you on this bbs that denounce terror won't cut it.

    Whatever happened to "We don't want terrorists" "Stop the terrorists" "End the Occupation" "End American Imperialism"

    Why does all the protests have to do with death or burning in hell?

    That's so cliche. Please enlighten me on what point during history were the barbarians from Arabia ever viewed with respect by Christendom? Was it when during the Middle Ages their prophet was denigrated to the level of a "boogey monster" and called 'Mahound'? Or perhaps when they were slaughtered like animals during the Crusades? The only reason we use cliches like this and talk about how great Islam once was or how great Muslims once were is simply to juxtapose against how we view them now and try to portray them in a negative manner. Read a history book. "The Barbarians" are rarely credited for their acheivements in the sciences or for their industrious civilizations. I have rarely even seen them credited for their role in the fall of the Roman Empire during the second Caliphate.
