I keep reading that islam is the fastest growing "religion"(I think political machine might be a more appropriate term) ... & I wonder how that can be. But then people's values, mores, etc. vary widely. Acquisition of power may be part of the motive. Having nothing to loose may be part. Pure, unadulterated hatred for others -even others of one's own culture, seems to be found in muslim radicals.
How many bad people or even lesser jerks, see themselves that way?
But read the koran, see the numerous passages that urge all types of bad treatment of non-muslims, including death. With that book as their  set of guiding principles - how can any sane person not be islamophobic?
Defense of our citizens & freedom is not a vice. Acquiescence to evil is clearly self defeating.
