<<Hmmm. A dozen suicidal terrorists are "a large faction" of the
Islamic population? Islamic people are a larger group so it is
ok to target them as a whole for destruction? Jewish conspiracy
theories are worth no more than other conspiracy theories are.>>
Try hundred of suicide bombers, if you wish to include what they do in
Israel, and I do mean in Israel (pre 1967 borders).
<<So you admit your argument employed insane tactics? And then
you turn around and attempt to defend them with some weak news
about a Nazi group allied with David Duke which you do not even
bother to tie to those opposed to this particular war. Why even
bother with such a pointless response?>>
Many Muslims enjoy the relationship and propaganda styles of neonazis. I have
witnessed this myself, upclose and personal. I will regard your
characterization as specious, since I know the difference. Duke toured the
Gulf states and addressed meetings that he was paid for by Islamic groups.
<<Do you think that a war of extermination agains Islamic people
per se is then justified? Do you think the Muslims you flushed
out on these chat groups are sufficient to decide such a thing
against all of Islam? Because much of your lingo has been a bit
more wide than simply destablizing the Wahabbis and Ayatollahs.
It is that that worries me.

Its what they (the Islamists) want. Please consider reading the literature
they prodice on the internet. It is not the language of peace and our friend,
Osama, is not the lone voice of a shrieking lunatic. His and other Islamsts
words appear to have purchase in much of the Islamic world. They may be a
minority, but surely not a small one. They also seem to have gained the upper
hand in memes, overseas. If you agree that the Islamists are a threat, then
its a matter of how to address the problem. If you see them as a minor issue.
then one can conclude that you believe the deaths incurred on 9-11 were
merely a fluke.
