Reader comment on item: Washington Finally Gets It on Radical Islam
in response to reader comment: The Horn of Africa

I love Islam. I am not Muslim, but I have been researching the religion and the people. I will only say that the most extremist views are in the Arab world. If any knows about history, Arabs have always been very volatile and fundamental, even when they were polytheists.Muhammed actually "civilized" them, with Islam. However, the basics of their culture re-emerged after his death. In the rest of the non Arab, muslim world, Muslim are much more calmer.
