I suppose I wouldn't be surprised either. However, most of the Muslims I know are a lot like the Christians I know ... not very right wing. They seem to be in the "you do your thing and I'll do mine" category.
Those sorts of people don't want to see a theocracy of any kind take hold here in the States. My view is ... hey, if you want to live in a Muslim theocracy ... move to Saudi Arabia ... its just sitting there waiting for you.
I think that terrorists, in general, are just looking for a justification to commit murder. Eric Rudolph did it in the name of Christianity (sure ... gives the Christian cause a really nice reputation), and the 9/11 whackos did it in the name of Islam (because, of course ... they're expecting virgins in heaven ... ummm .... riiiiiight).
I love the cartoon I saw in one magazine (can't remember which one it was) where the dead Muslim terrorist is ushered into the room containing his 70 virgins ... only to see the room is filled with 70 pimply faced teenaged boys playing computer games and swigging down Coke.
