'Going Muslim?'

Tunku Varadarajan, in this article at Forbes.com, argues that 'going Muslim' is the new 'going postal.' I disagree, because I think the term paints to broadly. There are patriotic American Muslims, some who have given all for this country.

'Going jihadi' would be more accurate.

I think that's a good point. I pointed out to someone recently that I'm the same religion as Radovan Karadzic.

I agree; generalizations rarely do anyone any good. It's getting tougher these days, but we have to recognize the difference between allies and enemies ~ and it has nothing to do with race, religion, economic class or gender.

lol ~ the word verification is "niceboos", but at first glance... well I thought there was a "b" in there ;)
