I have no problems at all with people who worship differently than I, who have a different viewpoint of a supreme being (or don't believe in a supreme being at all). What I have a problem with is a small percentage of people trying to force their beliefs on us all. Are all Muslims terrorists? Definitely not. However, the vast majority (and I'm talking over 95%) of the active terrorists today are Muslim. The terrorists, those who encourage and support them, those who provide the money paid to the families of homicide bombers - those people are the ones who give Islam a bad name. And, ultimately, moderate Muslims - the ones content to "live and let live" with other religions and The West - do no one any favors (especially themselves) by not rising up and denouncing the radicals, shouting them down. I firmly believe that if that were to happen, then the countries currently dominated (and downtrodden) by radical imams, Al Qaeda or the Taliban would be able to join the 21st century within a generation.
