Reader comment on item: The United States Government, Still the Patron of Islam
in response to reader comment: Lame Cherry, no better name

... Christians, Jews, and Muslims have all historically been at odds. Isn't it time to look at positives and have a dialog. A hateful comment anywhere continues to fuel the fire that exists between nations and religions of the world. A suicide bomber who blows up a restaurant and kills innocent people in Israel is just as bad as an IDF solider who takes aim at innocent children or a Timothy McVeigh who blows up a federal building in Oklahoma city. There are a lot of whackos in this world. Let's not label any group or religion to blame. If you believe terrorists labeled as "muslims" are to blame for evil in the world, then talk to mainstream Muslims without attacking them or their religion. What you will find is that Muslim's are a target of same cancer of terrorism that effects the Jews and the Christians. Take examples in Pakistan and Iraq etc. This fight against extremism and terrorism can only be won by Jews, Muslims, and Christians together.
