What's the point here? That because a few hundred nuts protested in very disturbing ways, we should hate all muslims? Should all christians be hated because of Fred Phelps and his ilk?

Last I knew, Phelps was a protestor - excercising his free speech against Catholics.  This is a bit different, a religious group blatently threatening to kill ... not quite apples to apples.

Eh, Phelps against pretty much everyone...Should we hate all Southern White Males, because some are in the KKK? All Germans because of the Nazis? All religious people because some blow up abortion clinics? The point is every group has its share of crazy people whose views should rightly be hated. However, I think it's a bit brash to assign that view to all members of a religion. There was a time the Christians tried to wipe out the Muslims, should those views of hundreds of years ago be ascribed to all Christians today?

Points taken here, but come on folks...this is 2010!!! Just 9 years ago, and even before, we were attacked by a people who's religion rule what they do, what they say and how they act.

Now perhaps not ALL muslims are radical.....but where are those non-radical muslims? Where is the outrage from them? And I do mean outrage!!!! I don't see or hear it, which leads me to believe it is a mind thought shared by all of them.

If the radicals are small in number, than who better than the mass majority of non-radical muslims to take the bull by the horn and dismantle and disassemble their radical counterpart's agenda?

I don't think it takes a rocket scientist here folks!

Yep- everyone in the Ku  Klux Klan are ' Christians '- they get their instructions from God/bible-  making it much like conservative thinking -    which is that " God hates the people I hate "-  which is what the Muslim fanatics in those pictures are also saying- ( so 4 years ago ) .

Radical Islam is indeed a worry.  However, not all Muslims are radicals.  GL makes very good points.  Moderate Muslims have and do continue to come out and speak out against that radical faction who thinks they will take over the world.  The North Atlantic Islamic Society just last year threw out from their conference just such a radical who happens to come from the Capital District.  They denounced him and his message.  They need to continue to do that.  If you have seen the film "The Third Jihad" it is narrated by a devout Mulsim doctor who speaks out against radical Islam.  

Muslims in this country need to continue to denounce those and begin to arrange their own agenda.  Several interfaith groups locally have excellent Muslim participation but the Muslims are not in charge of their own agenda.  Big mistake by Christians who keep wanting to craft that agenda and a bigger mistake by Muslims who do not get into the drivers seat regarding their own future.

Thise fanatics recruit in the jails as well in poor countries where they can convince folks to become a suicide bomber for Islam.  We are fortunate here to have great Muslims who do the right thing.

The Muslim religion needs to go through a reformation.  Just denouncing the fanatics isn't enough.  When you have decade after decade of Muslim radicals terrorizing the western civilization, you have to admit, the majority of moderate Muslims aren't doing such a good job policing their fanatics.  The radical wing of the Muslim religion eclipses any example of Christian radicalism given.  Maybe the news is ignoring it, but I have yet to hear of the KKK being a global network actively recruiting around the world.  Please stop using these obscure non-sense comparisons to Christian radicalism with things like blowing up abortion clinics.  How many abortion clinics are blown up each year by Christian radicals?  How many suicide KKK bombers are blowing up black churches?  

If moderate Muslims cannot keep their own house in order.  Then we have to do it for them.

Quoted Text
Rush of terror alerts on three continents plus Middle East
DEBKAfile Special Report
January 23, 2010, 9:27 PM (GMT+02:00)


New Delhi airport today
In the last three days, the governments of eleven countries have scrambled to elevate their preparedness levels for Islamist terror, or enforced extraordinarily stringent security measures. Another six governments have pursued these steps without fanfare.
Friday and Saturday, Jan. 22-23, India placed its airlines and airports and those of all of South East Asia -Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka - on alert for a possible airplane hijacking by al Qaeda or Lashkar-e-Taibem. The UK elevated its terror threat level from "substantial" to "severe" - one below top and suspended direct British airline flights to and from Yemen.
Last week, five Britons were apprehended at Islamabad airport attempting to pass their boarding passes to five others. Yemen itself stopped issuing entry visas at Sanaa airport. The British appear to fear a fresh spate of terrorism inside the country.
Although the Obama administration has not formally raised the current terror alert level, vigilance at all American airports and border posts has been radically heightened since a Nigerian terrorist tried to blow up the Northwest airliner on Christmas day. Since Jan. 4, the airlines and passengers from 14 listed countries have faced body screening before boarding flight to the United States. Last week, six people on the newly-expanded no-fly list were not allowed to board US-bound flights.
Saturday, US airport authorities were warned that at least two female suicide bombers of "non-Arab appearance" and bearing Western passports may have been sent to America by al Qaeda-Yemen - either to blow up US-bound flights or commit suicide attacks inside the country.
Referring to the failed airline bombing, tormer White House counter-terrorism adviser Richard Clarke told ABC: "There are others who are still out there who have been trained and who are clean skins - that means people who we do not have a record of, who may not look like al Qaeda terrorists, who may not be Arabs, and may not be men."
On Dec. 26, the day after the Northwest incident, DEBKAfile's counter-terror sources reported that since early October, President Obama and top US security officials have been aware of the new network or cluster of cells taking shape in Europe. First detected by the German BND, it appears to be structurally similar to the Hamburg cell, which planned and executed the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks in the United States. The German agency also tipped off Israel to its forecast of a new wave of Islamist terror threatening the US and other parts of the world.
The new network has recruited new faces not on Western anti-terror services books with no known links to al Qaeda members or members of their families.
On Dec. 11, DEBKA-Net-Weekly 425 disclosed: "Al Qaeda is believed to have taken to employing in their European networks typical Westerners of Caucasian appearance, quite different from the stereotypical Muslim."
Saudi Arabia and the Gulf emirates have taken their own precautions. Jordan's security services are fully mobilized since the attempt to blow up an Israeli embassy convoy on Jan. 15. Israel routinely receives terrorist advisories from Western intelligence agencies and maintains its own security regimen at home.
