To satisfy your ignorant paranoia, Sikhs don't have any ill-will or

You are a little confused.

When you say 'Muslims', are you suggesting that all Muslims harbour
ill-will towards the US or the West?

Or are you saying, a little more reasonably, that *some* Muslims,
extremists, harbour such feelings?

Because if you limit your argument to the extremists, you don't have an
argument any more. Because, my good fellow, there are Muslim extremists,
Sikh extremists, Christian extremists, Jewish extremists.


Yep, those other groups sure have hijacked a lot of planes and attacked a
lot of civilians.

Muslim terrorism is getting more air-time, of course, because of the
events of 11/9, and the mis-guided US response. If I were a Muslim living
in Iraq, and saw my family killed by US soldiers (or others of the
'Coalition of the Gullible'), I would likely become somewhat extreme also.
And dedicate the rest of my life to getting revenge.


But none of that "revenge" for the U.S., right?

But that aside, it's ridiculous to cast people of one particular religion
or another as peace loving or war loving, when people of all religions
start and prosecute wars, and when other people of those same religions
preach peace. As do most Muslims.


Except that not too many other holy treatises advocate anything on the order
of jihad and extermination.
