Reply #30: UBL calls for the death of Americans, Pat Robertson calls for the death of

[Nickster]

democratically elected leaders in South America, what's the difference? We've got some of the same brand of extremists. The extremist muslims just happen to have better infrastructure in place right now, the extremists in our country are working on following the exact same path. How do we know that moderate Muslims aren't speaking up? We sure aren't giving them the platform to speak to the US. Heck, we can't even hear Democratic messages. Not to mention, the violence that we are spreading in the Middle East sure works to stoke up the extremist flames, which works to surpress the moderate voices in the Middle East. How many moderate Iraqis do you think have died because they were in the cross fire of American troops and religious militias? Extremism and violence have a way to dampen moderate influences. Look at our own situation here, our society has moved so far to the right that moderate voices are eaten alive. I used to be a moderate myself until Dubya took office.
