Extremist muslims are active duty. Moderate muslims are the reserve. There is no difference

I hope you don't feel like I'm preaching at you because I'm not. Matter of fact I respect your views. I simply have a problem with the way the perverted western media has brainwashed us into believing that there are extremist and moderate muslims. There are not. There are only murderous muslims. Islam is a course in murder and mayhem. Alot of extreme suicide bombers used to be moderates until they went on active duty. Do you think hezbollah or hamas says "let's go shopping for some muslim extremists so that they can become suicide bombers"? Ofcourse not. Thousands of potential suicide bombers beat down the doors of terrorist organizations. And I guarantee you that their personalities are as varied as anywhere else. Matter of fact, they get away with a lot of mayhem because they're just average looking people who act average. The media would have us believe that extremists have sharp red horns on their heads and breath fire while on the other hand the moderates have dull white horns and furry tails and weep that the extremist have made a mockery of their "peaceful religion." Let me make an analogy between muslims and roaches. Some roaches are male and some female who have different functions. But there is no such thing as an extremist roach as opposed to a moderate roach. Roaches are all the same. They get into everything. They won't leave until you force them out with a truly powerful chemical and they carry the same germs that make us all sick on occasion. But here's the rub: Once roaches have completely infiltrated your home and you are greatly outnumbered then all roaches become radical extremists! WAKE UP AMERICA BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!
