text: There exists a horrible problem of extremism in the Muslim world at present. What is routinely overlooked by those who want to blame all of Islam and all Muslims is that the vast majority of victims of Islamic extremism - well over 99% of them - are Muslims. We only hear about bombings when the happen in the West. To say that Islam is at fault and that all Muslims are terrorists is to say that Muslims enjoy and support having their own children blown to pieces in acts of terrorism. This is absurd on the face of it.
  
  I've traveled in Islamic regions as well, and I too have experienced overwhelming goodness from the people. The same goes for Muslims I know here in the States. I will no more judge them by the acts of a few then I will judge all white Catholics by, say, the actions of the Irish Republican Army (and I'm old enough to remember when some Americans did this). I do not oppose security standards for those entering our country, but I do oppose applying them unequally.
