What's wrong with Muslims?
What seems to be the problem in Iraq? The knee-jerk reaction is to blame America for getting rid of Saddam, and failing to be able to reign in the Iraqi population. The real problem, though, is Islam. I long to hear our mainstream Democrat and Republican leaders turn away from saying "Islam is a religion of peace" and start saying, "Muslims say Islam is a religion of peace? Prove it!" Islam is not a religion of peace. Perhaps at its heart it could be, but when thousands upon thousands are committing the worst atrocities and killing thousands upon thousands (many of whom are also Muslims) I think you have to say that it isn't a religion of peace.
What seems to be the problem in Iraq? It's that Muslims can't gain control of themselves. I, for one, will remain wholly unconvinced that Islam is a religion of peace until I see Muslims fighting harder than non-Muslims to battle those who supposedly "pervert" Islam to their murderous ways. If this were true, and this were a perversion, why would Muslims stand for it? Why would they allow the intolerant Wahhabi madrassas to continue teaching hate, or at the very least a strict form of funadmentalist Islam? You can't treat women and Muslims too often do and call it a religion of peace. This is widespread in the Middle East, and it is spilling beyond the borders of the Muslim countries.
You can't call those fighting America in Iraq freedom fighters. The Americans earned that title by doing WHAT NO MUSLIMS WOULD DO in removing Saddam Hussein. Elections are scheduled for Iraqis to select their own leaders. Is this unacceptable to Muslims? The elections are now in doubt, and why? People like to say it is because America can't stabilize Iraq. That's the blame-America-first response. Let's say what it really is. It is because Muslims are murderers and can't get themselves under control. Muslims don't want their fellow Muslims to be in charge of themselves via democracy. When America toppled Saddam, the first thought that entered the minds of THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS of Muslims was, "Let's go to Iraq and kill everyone, Americans, Iraqis, and anyone in the way." And so they did. And it is high time our leaders recognize that and take the Muslims of the world to task.

It isn't too late for Islam, for proof of that one need only look at the history of Christianity, but those who deplore the violence must take the fight to those who worship it. Christianity today is a religion of peace. Christians do FAR more than Muslims to help the world become a better place for everyone. Muslims should take note and devote their energies to providing aid to Africa and building their own nations into places to be proud of; places that aren't 100% dependent economically upon a non-renewable resource (of course, I mean oil).
