I understand the "war" is against "extremists" and I have read through the comments in that letter again and I really dont see any inaccuracies. I don’t think the extremist groups are responsible for the Nobel prizes but I may be wrong. Is that what you are suggesting?

This thread isn’t about radical groups on either side. It is about their populations as a whole. Are you arguing that Islamic populations as a whole are not against the western way of life? Or are you saying that most of their people adapt to it when forced to?

Oh, and for the record I am trying to be as neither sided about this as possible. The letter I posted above is someone else’s words. I am interested in an academic discussion over the differences between the two societies. If you want to call me a Jew hater or an Islam hater or a US hater or something… feel free.. I hate everyone equally.
