[QUOTE="Bill V, post: 639701, member: 54538"] TJR, I understand what you're saying, but I don't think that the implication you make is as obvious as you state. There are other possibilities as well, that may have been just as validly implied from TomT's message--for example, one would be that to solve the problem, we need to convert all the Muslims to not be so Muslim-like. Another is that there is no "solution", and that this is just something that we're going to have to get used to being part of our lives. Also, there is not blood on everyone's hands from generations past, because guilt is not hereditary. When someone commits a murder, you punish him/her for the crime--not his/her children, who (in most cases) had nothing to do with it. It's not the next generation's fault the crime was committed, and it's not the next generation's responsibility to pay for the deeds of their forefathers. And, for the record--no, I don't agree with TomT. Terrorists come from all lines of beliefs, if taken to a far enough extreme--just look at Oklahoma City. Even if the Muslim faith were to somehow disappear from the face of the earth, we'd still have terroristic threats and activities. But I did feel the need to jump in and point out that his statements in no way even hinted at genocide, and I feel it was unfair to him to interpret his statements that way. [/QUOTE]
