As I've stated clearly in other threads, it is up to the mainstream Muslim world to reign in the radicals, or all within that community will suffer the consequences of the actions of a few.

As an American, I believe to the core of my soul, in the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and I will define to the death, a Muslim's right, within these borders, to worship God in their own way, as long as they do not infringe on my same right.

With mainstream Muslims, I have a tremendous respect for their devotion to God. But frankly, I have little respect for the lunatic fringe of any religion, whether they be Muslims, Jews or Christians.

As to encouraging the Muslim terrorists, by making them martyrs, so be it. If they want to go to "paradise", I for one would be absolutely delighted to help them on their way. One less radical to worry about. If that makes more of them, fine, we'll address them one at a time forever and ever, if need be.

We are in the middle of a war on our way of life, and the freedoms we enjoy. Trust me when I tell you, it's going to get worse before it ever gets better. You can not rationalize with zealots of any flavor. Defending ourselves by any method available, will be the only way to survive.
