Right, they have become the voice of Islam to the rest of the world. I think that is exactly what they want.
Look, I know not all Muslims are terrorists. Just like all Catholic priests are not pedophiles. Not even most of them. GH has given good examples of non-violent Muslims in Asia.
But in any ideology, if the majority allows the minority to become the voice, then the minority dictates the course of events with regards to the external world.
Most people that go to a demonstration do not throw rocks at police, loot or set fires. But what is remembered about Seattle for example - the thousands that marched peacefully and exercised their rights or the few that caused problems? And the longer it goes on, the more you get "Well, if they're going to call me a terrorist and terrorism is the way my leaders want me to go, then I might as well become a terrorist."
Are we at war with Islam? Since the Islam most of us know is radical terrorist Islam and the Islamic world doesn't stand up and denounce the incidents and take their religion back - radical Islam is fast becoming Islam.
