That willful ignorance seems alive and well; partially in this country -as the above paragraph and other posts in this thread illustrate - and definitly in Europe. Perhaps France is starting to notice, that remains to be seen though.

Are you saying most muslims today are hell bent on taking over the world and turning it into an Islamic empire? I realize there are groups like Al Qaeda whose goal is precisely that, but they don't represent the muslim world. Most muslims are migrating to Europe for economic reasons, just like hispanics are migrating to the US.

I've seen the 9/11 Commision Report DVD documentary, as well as a Frontline episode or two on this topic. I don't remember all the details but I believe what I said is more or less true. Where am I off?
