yeah, you probably could find ones that condone and promote jihad. no doubt in my mind, just like here during ww 2 you could find nazi sympathisers-such as charles lindbergh. or you could go to britain and talk to the duke of buckingham, the former king of england who abdicated. he liked hitler. i'd imagine i'd hate all nazis-that doesn't mean i'd hate all germans however.
my contention is that not all muslims are the terror-promoting, bomb-toting killers you think they are. as for ww 2, i would have wanted us to do any and everything necessary to defeat our enemies. my issue with you on THIS matter is that you view an entire group of people as our enemy. muslims aren't a country...are they? they're found everywhere, including here.
and keep in mind, i'm not a 'dove' by any means. i even joined the navy, and would go back if necessary. luckily there are younger and stronger folks who can do so for me, i'm afraid i'm past my prime.
