Reader comment on item: Identifying Moderate Muslims
in response to reader comment: Maybe there are "moderate" Muslims but...
Submitted by The Doctor (United States), Feb 20, 2007 at 02:32
Islam is not the enemy, its islamists. You cannot fight over billion people, because if you do fight, they will grow more in numbers and we will lose. I stll think the best way to solve this issue in the long run is to sit with them... and ask them what in the world do you want, whats teeing you off ? Whats it gonna take to make you ... happy?
