>But it's not just a titbit with which to tar the rest, is it? It's people flying jetliners into skyscrapers, suicide bombers, stoning of adulterers (well the females), the wearing of burkas, female circumcision (not universal mind), the other titbits, et al, and, worst of all, the fact that they never get to taste bacon <s>

But do all Muslims do, or even endorse, those activities?... Or is it some tiny minority that is out-of-whack with the rest? As Pat Robertson give Christians a bad name, so Jihadists/Taliban/sectX give Muslims a bad name.
We KNOW Pat Robertson doesn't 'speak' for all Christians. Why can't we give similar quarter for Muslims?

And I guess the price of bacon would go sky-high if Muslims ate it too < s >
