Response to J.S.

J.S., good thoughtful post. In my opinion there is another reason besides political correctness that contributes to the problem. Western countries that are in direct conflict with Islamic terrorism are loathe to admit that Islam is the root of the problem because singling out Islam puts Judiasm/Christianity in a spotlight as well. Judaism and Christianity are milder subsets of Islam and to discredit Islam is an indirect admission that these two religions are flawed as well.
