The silliness of blaming terrorism on anything but militant Islam

Why are the radical Islam nut jobs pissed at us? Because we're not Moslem.
The Pope quotes 13th Century Byzantine emperor in a speech about rationality and religion, pointing out that violence is antithesis of rationality. That as Catholic we belive that our God is a rational God. If we believe in God we must almost be rational people.
What do the Moslems do? They riot. Hmmmm.....
Ted Koppel points out that one of the reasons we may not have been attacked is because under Islamic law, first you must give the infidel a chance to convert. Apparently several leading Islamic clerics disapproved because Osama didn't give us the chance to convert. See first you offer them a chance to convert and then you can kill them.
In every Christian country on the planet, you can be a moslem and no one will care. In every Islamic country, if you are a Christian, you are forbidden to openly practice your religion. The anti-terror war folks call this being open minded.
The anti-terror folks seem to think that all of this because we don't understand them. They're poor, dis-enfranchised, downtrodden. They seem to ignore that many of the terrorists are from the Middle Easts middle class. They're engineers, doctors and lawyers. They're not poor.
The Middle East should be among the richest nations on earth. They invented the number '0', and were at one time the guiding lights of philosophy and technology, while Europe was in it's Dark Ages. Everything they had, they've lost. I wonder if you were to trace the downfall of they're civilation to the rise of Islam, if there would be any correlation?
We're not the only ones with issues with radical Islam. India has had problems with them attacking the Hindus. They created Pakistan as a place for the Islamic people. However, today, if something blows up, it's because of a Moslem. The same in France, and the rest of Europe.
So why do the Democrats believe that this is not a war? Why do they think that we can solve this diplomatically?
