What you don't seem to recognize is that the vast majority of people on this earth are good willed and peaceful....but they will follow those that lead them, even to some very dark ends that their leaders most definitely are set upon. I could be jailed for being more specific than that, which is rather telling isn't it?

I completely realize that, it was the subtext of all of my comments on this. Why then have Muslims as a group (who in my experience are good, decent people as are many as you note) being singled out for vilification?
As strange as it seems, I think we are on the same page here and being needlessly adversarial (or perhaps I'm misreading your comment, and if so apologies). Why are some people intentionally trying to drive a wedge between devout Christians and devout Muslims who agree probably on 98% of moral issues? It doesn't mean we embrace their religion, but recognize we share a common repellence to deviancy and debauchery. Yet many on the right tell us to hate them.
