[QUOTE="JimJ, post: 1014114, member: 555251"] My point was that extremists of [I]any[/I] faith or belief are dangerous. Extreme fundamentalist Christians in this country, the paramilitary organizations over in Ireland like the IRA, Russian radical groups, etc, etc... It bothers me when people seem to make the implication, like Expy did (at least it came across that way to me), that somehow "terrorism = Middle East/Islamic fundamentalism". It's very dangerous to think that. It's a concept, and you can't extinguish a concept. Seriously saying that you should suspect [I]all[/I] Muslims because of the actions of a radical sect is highly ignorant and divisive, and although he has every right to say that, I sincerely hope more people have the sense to see through it. It's as silly as saying you shouldn't trust black people because some of them commit violent acts, although as other threads show apparently a lot of people do in fact think that [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
