I've seen that video – she is fantastic. However, I posted this because I found it sad and interesting. However, while Muslims are people just like you and me, I continue to assert, along with many scholars, that Islam is a religion of war and supression, not because of extremists, but because of its founders life and teaching. I'll be posting on this shortly, not because I want to foment problems, but because westerners are duped by their multi-culturalism (thinking all cultures are of equal worth, and of course, all value systems), and Islamic front groups like CAIR play right into our self-deception.
Sure, there are moderate muslims. But I still think that the teachings of Islam are part of the problem, not just the interpretation of a few extremists. Islam has always been a faith of violence and supression, and it will continue to be so because its foundational teachings are so, despite the noble attempts at trying to soften it.

Yes, point well made. But I am not trying to change Islam by pointing up such *common* practices in Islam. Rather, I am trying to wake misguided liberals like Rosie O'Donnel (who never reads my blog ;) who think that Christianity is somehow just as much an immanent threat as Islam. They are sheep going to the slaughter in their dislike for criticism of Islam, while they lose no sleep over their trumped up "sky is falling" accusations against Christianity. They need some serious perspective, and this type of post is for THEM, not Muslims.
