If "Islam" is the problem, then why are terrorists and Islamist extremists more powerful in Britain then they are in Egypt or Morocco?
For decades the Egyptian government complained about the fact that Britain gave refuge and welfare checks to extremists who would have been arrested in Egypt. Unfortunately for the Brits, they didn't read the fine print in their Covenant of Security.
Turkey is 99% Muslim, but laws demanding a distinct separation between mosque and state have been enforced by the Turks for almost a century. If a Turkish imam had declared (as the Archbishop of Canterbury did) that Sharia law should be followed in his country, the reaction from the press and from the Turkish army would have been much more extreme.
The Kurds in northern Iraq are not just Muslims, they're conservative Muslims, yet they're pro-Israel and very pro-USA.
European/British politicians and bankers have gotten rich by making deals with the worst terror supporters in the Middle East. The citizens of these countries are paying the price. The Muslim brotherhood maintains offshore accounts for al Qaeda and Hamas. Some of their bankers were trained at the London School of Economics.
If you want to find the source of terrorism worldwide, don't open the Koran. Go to Dubai, go to one of Prince Bandar's many mansions, visit the Saudi and Iranian oilfields. While you're in Iran, talk to the scientists from Russia's Ministry of Atomic Energy. Back in Britain - go to Harrods.
UPDATE: Also note the Saudi government's efforts to get the UN to enforce Sharia Law

Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
