we're all waiting for your ideas then.
Have you ever heard of the concept of cause and effect. I'm assuming you have. Without complicating things for you, if you piss people off, expect to be pissed off. How's that for a maxim to be memorized and repeated enough times for you to comprehend.
Don't you believe just for one instant that the rise of radical islam is somehow due to oh, for instance, the Arab and Muslim world being pissed off by the likes of your country. I know you believe that billions of muslims continue to live in peace every day and have done so for centuries, because you just said so. Obviously then, the problem lies not in their religion, but in the fact that they perceive the US, amongst others, as being unfair, oppressive, and imperialistic in theri policies towards them. So my advice is, in simple terms: stop pissing people off and they will do the same.

So you actually think that the influence of radical Islam in the world has decreased, and that there is less of a threat from radical elements of Islam today than before 9/11

Good Grief...
How ignorant is this thread?
I have friends of every race / religion / background you can think of and I simply don't understand all the hate.
Here in Toronto, we're the melting pot that most of America wishes it could be.
People from all over the world living in harmony (minus the haters).
But I've also found that those that are the most travelled are normally the most understanding when it comes to race relations.
Thank God for Canada!

The original poster for this thread is from Canada. In fact, I think he's from Toronto. So don't pat yourself too hard on the back.

ShadoWolf, your two consecutive posts have no relation to each other. One talks about a dutchman murdered for speaking out about Islam and the other is about ethnic fighting in China where Muslims were involved. I'm sure the radical muslims in Holland weren't remotely related to the fighting in China involving an ethnic minority of Muslims. Based on these isolated incidents, you cannot make a general statement that Muslims in general are bad because they have communities elsewhere across the globe and murdering and fighting is not the norm. I suppose you haven't taken any logic courses in college.

I think this is the first time that Smokeape has actually said anything constructive, and furthermore correct.
