Anyone who thinks that there are just a few misplaced Muslims, and the World of Islam is still the religion of peace is out of touch as much as Stinky is.
The fact is that there are fundamentalist Muslims who believe in dar-al-islam that control many of the Nation-States within the Middle East, and these individuals want to see Western Civilization, (to include the United States, first and foremost) gone, done away with, destroyed, G'Nite.
Doesn't have a thing to do with Nation Building, it has to do with self preservation.
Anyone who doesn't understand this, including Ron Paul, is flat out misplaced. See Whoopie Goldberg, Babs Streisand, Rosie O'Donnell, Sean Penn, Barack Obama, Ron Paul, and a host of other confused Moonbats and Crackpots.
