Some Muslim Countries can be peaceful

Some Muslim countries can be peaceful, if they are willing to allow separation between Mosque and State. India has millions of Muslims who represent no threat to the U.S. Israel or any European, Western Countries. The issue is Islamic Fundamentalism.

Any Country that has a large retinue of Muslims has a risk of turning to Islamic Fundamentalism. This is probably the direction Iraq is moving into.

When Yassir Arafat ordered the first bombing of an Israeli bus, he unleashed the addiction of suicide bombing. Ironically and sadly, at least 4 out of 5 attacks are against fellow Muslims. This was and is entirely predictable. All addictions eventually return to cut off the hand that practices the addiction. If you doubt these statistics look at: www.thereligionofpeace.com/

This web site has kept numerical track of Muslim terrorist attacks. By far, Muslims are the victims of Islamic Fundamentalism, more than anyone else. This was true LONG before the U.S. got invoved in Iraq, before 911, before the U.S. got involved in Afghanistan, etc.

So the issue faces all Muslims, including those who write here: "Will the road you take go back to the 14th Century, or to Wahhabism? Or do you intend to eschew the addiction of suicide bombing for the sake of your own children? The choice is yours."
