That, Arif, is a simplistic approach to a complex issue. Some peoples are capable of living in a world that contains shades of grey. Others are not sufficiently evolved to do so, and desire a babyish yes-no world containing nothing but blacks and whites. "Butcher those who insult Islam!" placards, "rest to infidels!" chants, burning embbutties "in the name of God", and a whole host of other childish Muslim behaviour around the world, unfortunately, show that a significant portion of the Muslim world want to live in a babyish yes-no world. It's only natural that the grownups of the world reject the attempt to drag (or plant) us back to the 12th century.
That said, the current (p)resident of the White House, as well as his dittoheads, equally well belong in the "babyish yes-no world" camp, and they're as white as it gets.
One wonders whether the invective-chanting, placard-toting, embbutty-burning, dissolution-planting types' claims of being good Muslims are as specious as Bush and company's claims of being good Christians.
Human nature is human nature. We all run MonkeyOS 1.0.1 between our ears. The difference is that some of us at least make a show of trying to get along with others, and some of us...don't.
