The "Religion of Peace" in bad lighting?

The results of a new Washington Post/ABC News poll on American attitudes toward Islam and Muslims are in, and-drum roll please!—about half of us think that Islam is a violent faith. What are the other half thinking?

Conservative and liberal experts said Americans' attitudes about Islam are fueled in part by political statements and media reports that focus almost solely on the actions of Muslim extremists.

Really? What I am thinking!? I thought that maybe, just maybe, it was the constant attacks on infidels and the West's way of thinking that influence my perception of the Islamic faithful.

Hmmmm................................................you decide.

Such thinking reflects an ignorance of the breadth of Islam. It also reflects an ignorance of how the Muslism of the Middle East(which is really what we're talking about here, not all of Islam) percieve our acts against them, as I allude to in my blog posting on this same subject.

The breadth of Islam should step up renounce the extremist. Until then ALL OF ISLAM will be viewed as ignorant violent puppets who kill unsuspecting civilian’s over petty issues.
