Well, not so impressive, since nowadays it's pretty popular to step on anything that resembles Islam.

Due to the nature of my job, I'm traveling a lot, meeting bunch of people including Muslims from all around the world, from India to USA. Most of them disagree with terrorist attacks, and those who support that kind of fight - when talking to them, you can see that injustice all around the world is what makes them approve those attacks.

"Fight against infidels" - nonsense, I've never met a Muslim thinking that way. I know some of them are out there, but in such a minor number that it actually makes me think why would media push so hard to bring them in front of the peaceful majority. But media (which gives us almost everything we know) is a completely different story, and there are plenty of articles on internet exploring who actually owns the media.

Another thing - I also wanted to tell you - I like your post, worried but fair enough and not filled with hatred. And with hope at the end.

Assalamu alaykum

Cheers
