The harder you hit the more innocents you kill, the more innocents you kill, the more insurgents and anti American sentiment in the Middle East. More terrorist attacks on the US sees tighter security controls and more limitations on your liberty.
It seems the only way you can win is if you kill every Muslim on the planet. If you want to do that what kind of country does that make you.

I've seen news reports of at least four difference incidents of Islamic violence over the last 24 hours.
I understand your frustration with what you are hearing, and i find their extremist views quite damaging to humanity, but do you understand that you are basing your hatred (in this thread - i don't know your general views), on MSM?
I mean, i won't exactly find reports on fundamental christianity in the 6 o'clock news, but if i searched in the right places, i'm sure i would find many.
Keep in mind, your country (assuming you're a western nation), has to justify their place in a war against islamic extremism, so it's not exactly surprising to see islam being showcased as a generally-violent, stone age religion.
Also keep in mind that while their religion can be seen as "physically violent", christianity in the middle ages was very intimidating and violent in it's own ways. Research the crusades for instance.
While the tv box shows you the western world's modern achievements, they fail to show the advancement of the middle east - not only as a religion, but as a people.
Any religion in it's extreme form is damaging! Not any particular one. And try not to trust the tv too much. If you're not quite sure, google it. Gather information from people from MANY countries - not just christian america.
I meet a lot of muslims every day in my job, and believe me - they are extremely peaceful and respect us as PEOPLE. I work as a auto electrician, and i work on a lot of taxis, so while they're waiting, they've come up to me and asked which way is west, so they can pray. They don't harm me. They're friendly towards me. They shake my hand - they even come in and give us gifts because we treat them with equal respect.
It's not worth the hatred man! There are evil #ing people, and all it takes is one person to convince a thousand more that they're bad people because of their religion.
Focus less on the bad ones, and try to break the chain of indoctrination. Make your own decision.
I got an idea, next muslim you see, go up to him and say hi. Offer him help. Even if he is confused and acts hostile, you will remain in his thoughts the whole day because you were different. You don't belong in this western belief that we are perfect, and they are lesser
George Bush: 'God told me to end the tyranny in Iraq'
George Bush has claimed he was on a mission from God when he launched the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, according to a senior Palestinian politician in an interview to be broadcast by the BBC later this month.
One of the delegates, Nabil Shaath, who was Palestinian foreign minister at the time, said: "President Bush said to all of us: 'I am driven with a mission from God'. God would tell me, 'George go and fight these terrorists in Afghanistan'. And I did. And then God would tell me 'George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq'. And I did."

Oh Petrus. You started out calm and ended with an emotional outburst that I can only attribute to one thing: the persistance to mull over a thought too much in your head.
You know there are a lot of people out there such as yourself. They are Muslims, they genuinely believe and fear Zionism take over of the planet in the same way you fear Islamic take over.
I myself grew up around a lot of people who had this very fear because I grew up in Saudi Arabia and there, as with all Arab countries almost, there are certain conspiracy theories that cling and stick and continue for generations since no body bothers to question them.
I truly wish this for your own inner peace my friend.
